How many of you have been called a genius in your school?

<p>yep. very often. it gets awkward after awhile.</p>

<p>OP, if you talked like that to me in real life, I would seriously beat you up.</p>

<p>And i am a nerdy “genius.”</p>

<p>yeah, i go to public school and any time you understand something, get good grades, or even if you’re just in an advanced math class or something people are like “GOD GENIUS!!!”. </p>

<p>I don’t know why but it kind of bothers me. In middle school i hated it so much that i would act like I wasn’t all that smart so that i wouldn’t be grouped with the nerdy genius kids in my school. Now i just don’t talk about anything like that so i won’t be isolated or people won’t be intimidated or something i dunno. It’s probably not a good way to do things, kind of shallow and shortsighted when i think about it.</p>
