<p>I guarantee you you will hate this kid after you watch this video (last year's spelling bee winner):
YouTube</a> - Smart-Ass Spelling Bee Winner</p>
<p>lmao</p>
<p>good thing I go to real life school where I get to actually talk to people and learn things other than spelling</p>
<p>Watch Spellbound and you won’t hate everyone in the spelling bee!</p>
<p>Seriously, it is a VERY good documentary. I strongly recommend it.</p>
<p>Another perspective: “13-year-old boy”. Let’s not forget he is a young student.
How many 13 year-old kids or adults are fearless to appear in National TV? </p>
<p>I’m sure he will develop his social skills; however he already is a winner. A skill he can use in being a good writer or other professions. Best wishes to him!</p>
<p>I prefer kids engaging in something positive for their future, such as the spelling bee, than in drugs, idle time, or doing nothing…</p>
<p>dude… Evan O’Dorney is pro…</p>
<p>Evan O’Dorney is a BEAST at everything. Academic.</p>
<p>I know a kid who is exactly like him! Like exact same amount of awkwardness.</p>
<p>Okay check this one out, spelling bee kids are weird:
[YouTube</a> - Broadcast Yourself.](<a href=“YouTube”>YouTube)</p>
<p>He had a great sense of humor, and pretty gutsy to do a napolean dynamite in that situation!!</p>
<p>He’s… an interesting character.</p>
<p>I could’ve went to Washington many years ago; but then I heard a word that I had never seen before (fauna) and was one of the first people eliminated from the finalists of my city. Nowadays I don’t really give a damn about the spelling bee.</p>
<p>This kid is autistic, *******s.</p>
<p>Even if you didn’t know that, it is quite obvious that he has mental problems from just watching a few seconds of the video.</p>
<p>lol I went to the national geography bee when I was in 8th grade. There were some odd kids there, but some normal ones (of course they didn’t do as well for the most part)</p>
<p>Hilarious. And truly sad. Just another example of why homeschooling should be illegal.</p>
<p>Yea this kid’s not autistic, he suffers from HSS or Home Schooling Syndrome. It’s known to stunt social skills and cause awkward hand motions.</p>
<p>[YouTube</a> - did he…did he say, niggas? (READ THE DESCRIPTION 1ST)](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGdCeMayUjk&feature=related]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGdCeMayUjk&feature=related)</p>
<p>HAHAHAHHAHA</p>
<p>Sorry if this offends anyone.</p>
<p>^Haha, I just saw that the other day.</p>
<p>Ah man, I actually feel bad for the kid.</p>
<p>I try to be nice to kids like him, but they’re always total *******s back.</p>
<p>Yeah me too. There are some kids that are just so awkward it’s hard to be nice to them because they can’t keep a conversation…poor kid</p>
<p>Honestly, I would probably be just as awkward as he was if I were in that type of situation. People who are very awkward in social situations aren’t necessarily arrogant or trying to be mean. I know that in my case, I can seem like I’m trying to avoid someone, even if I’m really interested in talking to them, simply because I don’t know how to make small talk or reply to simple greetings or continue conversations. It seemed like the kid was in that sort of situation.</p>
