Okay well if this isn't really a good topic go ahead and close it mods I just thought I would tell you all...
Okay so I'm in honors. I know, you're probably thinking, "Geek alert". But that's what bothers me. Cuz on TV shows, movies, all that stuff the people in honors are thought of to be geeks, and supposedly all the hot guys are dumb*sses. But at my school allll the popular (and HOT) guys are in honors...and all the popular girls are in honors. All the dumb people are the geeks...its freakishly weird... I don't know you can discuss it I guess :\ --->Sierra Oh yeah, why are smart people automatically labeled as geeks in the first place???? |

Nah, that's just a stereotype. I'm an honors student and I prefer to be called a nerd over a geek. 'Cause nerds are awesome. Getting good grades doesn't mean that you're a geek. In my school, most of the honors students are cool people. Not very geeky at all. Ugh, I'm not making sense.

In my school, honors class is like a balance between the popular ones and the nerds/geeks. The major stereotype in my school is that all Asians (since almost everybody in honors are Asians) are smart. Popular or not is no big deal.

It's really just a stereotype, and you shouldn't care what other people say.
My schools is supposedly a really smart school, and everyone thinks that the students here are geeks or nerds. However, there are some people that wouldn't normally be labelled as that. |

At my school, there is essentially no one not in honors worth talking to. I swear, they have all our class levels to separate lower class minorities more than anything. If you want geeky, there's IB. Honors is pretty much normal. But honestly, either way, do you want to spend your life on the level of idiots, getting nowhere, just to be "cool"?

I think being called a geek is kind of insulting. I prefer nerd as well =D. I'm very proud to be called or call myself a nerd.

Really? I prefer geek to nerd, but to be fair, that's probably for the band association.

The apostrophe should actually go before the "em," not after.
Mmm. I'm an obnoxious higher level student. So there. |

Well, I'll always prefer nerd to geek, I don't like geek because I don't think it properly describes me. Plus, I think nerd sounds better =P. And I think both are a compliment overall, maybe not in their "formal" definitions, but how they're defined, or how I see them usually defined, now. |

hahaha...it's basically the opposite at my school, being 99% asian.
For us, if you're not in honors, ib or ap classes, they're labeled as 'stupid.' at our school, it's cool to be a nerd. |

There are a lot honors students that are very popular in my school.
No one really cares if their smart or not. No one cares if their geek or not. Geeks ARE pretty cool though. I call them unique. |

I was in honors once. back in 8th grade. I had Geometry. I didn't really think it was that important back then. So I was lazy and didn't do anywork. Got an F. Now I'm like normal now. Algebra 2, but If i would have passed that Geometry in 8th grade, I'd prolly be in Triggo. *sigh* I missed that feeling of when people were thinking I was smarter than them. Damn hated myself for slacking. haha, thats life

I was in honors until my current year, now I'm an AP.
I don't think I'm a geek or intelligent people are geeks alone. I personally don't care if I'm thought of as a geek or loser. Shoot, as long as I get my education, I can careless. ;) |
