Nerds in High School

United States
January 24, 2007 12:48am CST
I was just on myspace reading through surveys that people took from my high school. One asked "Where you a nerd in high school". Everyone answered no. Liars! At least 3 of them were nerds. lol Would you answer truthfully to a question like that? Do nerds know that they are nerds? I know for a fact that I was probably considered a nerd by some people in my high school. Mostly I was just the 'quiet girl' though.

I think there are a lot of people consider that I am a nerd in the school and I am probably the only nerd in my class because I'm also a very quiet and shy too.

LOL! I wouldn't care if anyone labelled me as a nerd, as long as they weren't trying to be offensive by using the term. Seriously, I know that I could be considered a nerd. I love computers, and I wear glasses. I may not be the brainiest person in the world, but I do have a fairly big vocabulary (even if I don't always use it, lol) because I was such an avid reader in my youth. I picked up a lot of words and a great love of language that way. Anyway, I don't know if I consider myself an actual nerd, but I wouldn't mind if the title were applied to me. I think that it's a positive word, anyway. I _like_ nerds. I'm quite attracted to somewhat nerdy guys. And I looove guys in glasses! ^_^

i was called a nerd because i was very quiet and realy shy and had higth marks even though i only opened my books at home during exams ,and copied my homework from others the next day what helped me get those marks is that i realy focus in class and i could remember the important stuff when i study for the exam

I think that i may have been considered a nerd and i don't care because i was a cute nerd...LMAO!! The reason that i have for saying this is because i was extremely shy and quiet and quite smart too! At the end of my Gr 11 year i got two awards one for the highest acedemic award and the other for the most athletic girl in high school!!1 I was proud to acheive them both!!!

I have always been a nerd, and I probalby always will. But consider this: The world's richest man is also the world's biggest nerd! His name? Bill Gates, of course.
