Where you a nerd in school?

Hard to say, I'll go w/ yes, but like I made it work for me. I was a theater kid in high school and pretty well known, so if i did something really nerdy, people were mostly like "Oh, that's just him."

up through elementary/junior high and first year of high school i probably was, but it really all depended on other people whether you were one or not. I didn't really change so much as kid's perceptions of me changed over time, so by the time high school came around it wasn't even seen like that anymore. However with theater came the automatic question of your sexuality and i could be a bit of a spaz, but i suppose thats about it.

Hung out w/ all the smart kids though mostly and was in honors and AP classes but got booted out or left most of them because i didn't want to do all that work.

i took AP courses and got good grades but i hated school and most people there. didn't join any clubs or teams

i was in a band and had dreadlocks so people assumed i was a pot smoking hippy (i wasn't), and i didn't really hang with the coolsies.

No I am not a nerd at my school

 

Lots of people at school think I'm on constantly on drugs and if I tell them I'm not, they lose interest in my behavior.

 

I can relate to this

sometimes I am on drugs at school though :L

Mhh I was only a bit of a nerd I guess. I was mostly known as "that guy who makes videos" both among people who didn't like me as well as among my friends. But then again, I always had some friends. There were simply no groups for people who listened to interesting music, just the regular dull teenage movements - goth, punk, mainstream-hip-hop and pop-bitches who stopped caring all together. The people who claimed to listen to "alternative music" where the ones who listened to alternative rock. Most of my friends were in that last category, and I kept asking them "why's it called alternative if it ain't alternative at all" - that didn't make me too popular but they still hang out with me.

Note that this wasn't the 90's, this was well after Nirvana and others who actually meant something and called themselves alternative for a reason. It was 2007 and it was that really dull guitar-softy-music they kept wanking about. "Fallout Boy" was the shit, apparently Still makes me cringe. Only my BFF was into the same insane crap as me. So I guess I was also known at "the pretentious music snob" amongst all my friends except him.

Oh, right, people sometimes considered me a nerd in biology because I could tell a birch tree from a horse. Seriously, young people don't know shit about the nature that surrounds them, which is kinda sad.

lol! when i first went to uni and told people i lived on a farm, loads of people thought i was making it up and one actually got the impression that i was a compulsive liar and strongly disliked me from then on. i was like wtflol? apparently people growing up in UK suburbs aren't aware that yes, there are actually some parts of the country that aren't covered in concrete

I used to try and spend as much time as possible out of school and doing drugs 14+ so no I guess.

we had this book in biology, 12th grade

there were two really annoying girls who were constantly blabbering some shit that didn't make any sense, I listened to them sometimes when no one was around to talk to, and pretty much each line of theirs was a reason to

one day during class the teacher caught them giggling furiously about whatever new stupidity they had just dug up and said "Well, I don't know what cracks you up this time, and I don't wanna know it either to be honest, but at this point I'd be surprised if you could even tell me the name of the animals on the cover of your book"

they responded simultaneously: "Well, du-uh - It's two beatles! :sup:"

I thought I was fairly average in school after reading this, I feel as though I was highly popular hahaha.

 

I was a part of a large group of people that consisted some 'scene kids' (remember those?), other alternative music types, stoners and just standard nice normal types.

 

I used to put on all the house parties, that seemed to give a fair amount of kudos.

nerd

Aww cheers man.

I found a lot of people in my school fairly boring, I used to go out to clubs at 15 and my close friends were in their 20s ( )

Way nerdy, but I kept it real.

real nerdy
