<p>High-School always struck me as what the real world would be like under a dysfunctional regime. There’s no immediate reward for doing work other than the promise of something later on and the social structure is determined by a bourgeoisie who only got to being that way based on appearance, physical toughness, parent’s money etc. No fun.</p>
<p>Of course, in my experience, the definition of a geek is wide-ranging. There are kids who fall into the CC crowd and kids who couldn’t care less about grades but are hardcore video-gamers or something. No matter where you fall along the spectrum, you get labelled a geek.</p>
<p>There are also kids who are social and antisocial, introverted and extroverted and (because it makes a difference) attractive and unattractive or in-between. I don’t think this has anything to do with being a geek.</p>
<p>If you look around CC you see kids that are socially adept with 4.0s and kids that are socially inept with 4.0s. Which ones are the geeks?</p>
