I was just thinking about my life and how things in it have caused me to become the person I am today. And I was wondering if people who were concidared to be nerds in high school and picked on regularly are either jerks today or really cool people to hang out with? It would seem to me that they would be more likely to be very jerky due the fact that is what they were mostly exposed to during (what I’d consider a very import growth period). For them to come out decent people they would need strong guidance and a power sense of well being that we don’t normally associate with nerdy type of people. So to all the people out there, the jerks you happen to run into were they nerds in high school bullies in high school or what. And what about the “cool” people you hang with nerds in high school or what??

Jerks come from all walks of of life. I know bullies who became very successful, but they are still bullying someone... wives, kids, co-workers. I know nerds who are jerks too... they blame it on the bullies, their mothers, etc. but it's usually just a matter of them thinking they are so superior to everyone else. And they are not above bullying either, but they usually go the passive aggressive route.

WELL IN A WAY YOU ARE RIGHT.BUT THOSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR EDUCATION END UP LIKE THOSE BUMS IN MCDONALD'S FLIPPING BURGERS YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?ANYWAYS WELL LET'S SEE.PEOPLE USED TO CALL ME GOODY-TWO-SHOES (NO I WAS NOT A NERD) I WAS A INNOCENT,NAIVE AND GOOD GIRL.BUT PEOPLE NEVER MADE FUN OF ME ABOUT IT.IT WAS A POSITIVE NICKNAME.BUT WHEN I LOOK BACK I MOSTLY LOOK BACK AT MIDDLE SCHOOL.IN MIDDLE SCHOOL MY LIFE WAS SO LIKE MESSED UP.I WAS SAD,CONFUSED AND LONELY.AND I WOULD PRAY,AND PRAY TO GOD HOPING THAT HE'LL MAKE A MIRACLE HAPPEN OR HELP ME IN SOME WAY,OR MAKE ME FEEL BETTER.BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL:I USED TO HAVE THESE TO GIRLS THAT LIVED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND USED TO BE MY "FAKE FRIENDS".I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT GOING TO MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND NEW EXPERIENCE BUT THE HAPPINESS DID'NT LAST VERY LONG.AFTER LUNCH WHEN THE WEATHER IS GOOD WE'D GO OUTSIDEM IN THE YARD TO PLAY.THEN THE TWO GIRLS THAT I THOUGHT WERE MY "FRIENDS" SPREAD THE RACIST RUMOR ABOUT ME THAT WAS'NT EVEN TRUE..THEN THE SPECIFIC RACE GIRL SHE CAME UP TO ME AND ASKED ME IF THE RUMOR WAS TRUE AND I SAID NO WHICH WAS VERY TRUE.THEY DID THIS A COUPLE OF DAYS THE GROUP GROWING EVERY SINGLE DAY.THEN A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT THEY STARTED GETTING VIOLENT AND PHYSICAL AND THAT'S WHEN THE WHOLE SCHOOL TURNED AGAINST ME.OK I'M GOING TO STOP THERE BECAUSE IT'S A LONG STORY.ONE THING I GOTTA SAY ABOUT JERKS IS THAT THEY ALSO FEEL LOWLY THAT'S WHY THEY WANT TO BRING PEOPLE DOWN WITH THEM.

:) I was a rather LARGE nerd in high school. Bigger than the basketball guys OR the football guys. The cool people tried to make me suffer for it. Until I kicked the hell out of a few of them. After that, the jocks tended to leave ALL of the nerds alone.
Today, I am TOLD, I am one of the kindest, most caring people my friends know. *shrugs* I'm just me.
The "cool" people from high school? In my class alone, 3 are dead now. 2 more are in federal jail. Cool isn't cool at all. *chuckles* But you won't ever know it til later in life.

Nerds, because they become rich and succesful later in life . I don't know yet, but the nerds I meet in higschool are still nerds today in college. I have to wait like 10 more years to figure that out.

People that pick on others usally end up living behind your local strip mall. Nerds usally end up like bill gates.
