<p>I’m in high school now, and am the biggest nerd there is. But I’ve never felt bullied because of it. Like a couple people said above, nerds and geeks find a niche in high school a lot. If there’s enough of you, you don’t feel left out. It depends a lot on the school, like my previous, more ‘ethnically diverse’ school, was not friendly towards nerds, and pressured you a lot to change. I never felt like I fit in at that school. Everyone, or most everyone, has some degree of social adeptness, and when you’re with more of people like you, its much easier to fit in. Personally, I’ve been praised a lot by fellow students and even admired by upperclassmen because I was a freshmen in pre-calculus. Smart is a universal compliment, those that pick on nerds are simply jealous that they’re ‘not’ smart.</p>
