<p>What do you do? Do a barrel roll.</p>
<p>Hey, at my old school, all I had were two friends. Who needs a lot of friends? A few good friends is all you need to get through school. Besides, you have three more years, that’s plenty of time to make new friends! :)</p>
<p>Just be yourself. Im a nerd and i have many friends. Besides, at ur school, kids there sound really immature. Unlike my school, even the “popular” and “preppy” kids admit liking the nerdy things, such as video games and watching star wars.</p>
<p>Don’t be trying to change yourself. Altering who you are in order to fit in can be off-putting to a lot of really neat people who will embrace your nerdness/awesomeness once you do.</p>
<p>To the OP, here is my story.</p>
<p>During my high school years [I graduated this year] I was a hardcore nerd. I loved politics and debate, studying for vast amounts of AP test, and I hung with friends that were very immature. Now that it’s all over i’m glad I was a nerd. I may not have as many friends if I was preppy or hot but my friends were alright. We had LANs every month and we always joked about women and other immature things. I loved this aspect about my friends so much because most of my day I had to be extreamely serious due to my rigirous academic courses. Having immature friends allowed me to unwind.</p>
<p>Being a nerd means being in classes where you are seperated from the idiots and the lazies. My last year in high school, all my classes were with the best and the brightest and when you’re in this kind of enviroment you can flourish. I accomplished alot academically in HS. With my 11 AP test I’m now entering college as a Junior so there are real benefits to being a nerd later on.</p>
<p>The biggest downside I want you to avoid is to watch your health. Having spent so much time studying and doing EC’s my health took a deathspiral. I gained much weight and worst of all I do not eat healthy. Luckly for me I have time this summer to work on those issues and I ask you to address them even sooner.</p>
<p>Course if you’re talking about nerd as in a starwars nerd or anime otaku then please. Get the **** out of that shell and stop being such a little *****. I’ve seen to many people get completly obsessed with these things and later wonder why they can’t make any other friends outside this group.</p>
<p>first off, nerds are definitely the best. i don’t see what the problem with that is. but if you don’t have many friends, i understand how that would be hard.</p>
<p>my advice is to look for people similar to you. i have a couple friends that are “popular”, but really, i cannot be completely myself around them. i have to dumb down my vocab, not joke around b/c they wouldn’t understand, and i worry what they might say to others.</p>
<p>don’t try to fit in by listening to popular music. listen to what you want. join clubs that are interesting to you. take a class with a horrible teacher so that you can find something in common with others. i know a guy who has gotten along with others, but never had any close friends until this year. but when he joined APUSH and robotics club, he had something in common with a small group of kids. you can talk about the weather with anyone, but it’s a lot better to talk to people about a similar interest.</p>
<p>oh, and that kid now is dating a hot nerd. he has tons of friends and always seems happy.</p>
<p>if you’re quiet, speak up when you have something to say. if you’re loud, give other people to talk. they like that. and don’t push your opinions on anyone. you’ll be fine! :)</p>
<p>You should reinvent yourself into Danny Zuko.
Then everyone would love you.</p>
<p>party hard</p>
<p>Okay look. People hear are telling you to party hard and have sex, but you go to a Catholic school, so you are probably not going to be liked well, if you do too much. I go to the same school, as you. In a school where mostly all of the students belong to the upper middle to the rich class, you are going to have to deal with some things if you are low incomed. Sure most kids at CBA have good clothes, shoes, cell phones, etc. but you have to hold on like I did. A lot of kids are immature, but you seem mature. Your maturity will help you see how your life will become better. Look, three years is not a lot. I remembered my first day of kindergarten like yesterday. :)</p>
<p>liverpool…the reason you “are/were” one of the most popular people in your school, being a girl, is because you’re probably hot, and no other reason then that. you said yourself that you act superficial because you feel like you’d be outcasted by your friends otherwise. so you’re one of those (at school anyway, not online 
). no offense…</p>
<p>OP, read this message. I was a nerd until a year ago. Then I asked my cousin (who’s a prep kid) to take me to a babershop to have a spiky Asian hair cut. Then I got new clothes, remember the “party” kind. Ditch the bland looking jeans and that plain white shirt (remember NO SHIRT), choose Tshirts or modified shirts. Get a new pair of glasses (the good looking kind, ditch your glasses if they’re too ugly). And bang! Here is a new me! No nerdy!
But after half a year or so after reading a book I learned how to set goal. I set my goal big; thus come back to the nerdy style again. People call me nerd. Well, OK. At least all the prep people I know go to the local community college or to the local college only. No one ever got beyond U of Texas (which is a good school, but only my “nerdier” friends could get into, top 10%).
So if you still insist, you have to work harder. After changing your appearance you can appear to be lazy. But that means you have to work your butt off as home. You may go to party if you like, but don’t get too extreme. Remember you should leave the party early or you can choose to work your butt off the following day. More stress. But again, don’t care about these people right now because if you do, your teachers will notice your slacking off and they may think you have a decadence. So you may end up going to the local colleges just like these losers as your school. Moreover, you can never live with your actually self… Remember that.</p>
<p>I am an adult survivor of childhood nerd-dom. Be proud of who you are. Get self esteem based on YOU. Very few kids have self-esteem, nerds, popular, whatever, and that is why you are teased. When I went to my 20th class reunion, my former taunters were following me around asking me if I was a millionaire. And I actually felt sorry for these people. you have better things to do than post 1500 pictures of yourself on Facebook, and don’t feel sorry for that. When you get in college you will find others you bond with. In the meantime, I know it’s hard. But it’s worth it. I would not trade my nerd-influenced childhood to be a “popular kid” for anything.</p>
<p>You’re only a nerd [if</a> you understand this joke](<a href=“http://i3.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/albums/y99/KsToy/Funny%20junk/moarpylons.jpg]if”>http://i3.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/albums/y99/KsToy/Funny%20junk/moarpylons.jpg)</p>

<p>HAHAHA @ thiscouldbeheavn… sad thing is is that I understood it…</p>
<p>Study hard, and maybe one day, those kids from your school will work for yoy :P</p>
<p>I’d say I’m average looking, and yeah, I never liked to admit the things I geniunely liked because I didn’t want to be outcasted. But the truth is, this year I changed completely. I lost and gained some friends (lost a few popular friends and gained a few nerdy friends) because of this. But I don’t care, because I’m happier this way (: And I knew I wasn’t in the right crowd when I found out I didn’t like to drink. I first started going to parties and ended up being the only one sober, then I stopped going at all. It’s quite boring…)
Plus, I need to focus on my studies more! (H)</p>
<p>What exactly are the other kids making fun of you for? Is it personality, looks, intelligence, or what? If you stand out from the norm for whatever reason, people will look at you. The first thing people see is the outside you so let’s start there. As the old saying goes, “clothes make the man.” It might not be your personality or nerdiness that turns people away but your appearance. Sure, that’s shallow but it’s also reality. Grubby lensed lopsided glasses lowers IQ by at least 45 points. Buy some smart looking shirts and pants. Duct taped shoe soles don’t spell success. Clean your finger nails and work on the acne. Get your hair styled and have the stylist teach you how keep the look. Do not wear anything that you just pulled out of the laundry basket and had to sniff. </p>
<p>You don’t have to walk into the first day of school looking hot, but looking decent ranks much higher than icky. As an added bonus, it might help in the self esteme department. More kids will approach a decent looking nerd than a creepy looking nerd.</p>
<p>First of all, being a nerd isn’t a bad thing. There’s this community that exists largely on YouTube, called Nerdfighters, and some of the most popular people on YouTube are part of it. It’s all people who are proud to be nerds, because being a nerd is a good thing! You should check it out. :)</p>
<p>Secondly, you don’t need a lot of friends. You just need a few close ones. That’s what I have. Don’t pay attention to what the other people say about your interests or whatever. Just be yourself, and don’t bother trying to conform. :)</p>
<p>they make fun of you because they’re jealous</p>
<p>i used to think the dumb people or people who acted dumb or people who didn’t pay attention in school were cool, i eventually came to the realization that they were the future burger flippers at fast food restaurants. </p>
<p>just be on your way, do what YOU feel is right. :]
nerds iz koo’ 2. ;p</p>
