I'm in honors in my JHS, and i'm not considered a geek, most people wouldn't even know i was in honors by looking at me.

They assume that everyone in Stuyvesant high school in NYC is full of geeks. Me and my friend were accepted, and we are never classified as geeks, since the definition of the stereotype "geek" = no life, smart, and doesnt flirt with alot of girls or have a gf, when we have extremely busy social lives. when i went to the open house, did i see a bunch of dorky looking people who speak with a nerdy accent? No, i saw a huge variety of people.

people who categorize others into stereotypes i despise, since you can't classify a person just by how they look or act, since everyone is unique.

Nah, not really, since I'm one of them. ;x

honors is for geeks?
then what about AP?

ehh...i don't think so. =/

there's actually some of the dumbest people I've ever been in a class with in high school in my AP history class

but IB is definitely where the geeks are.

I could care less about stereotypes. People see me and they say "NERDALERTNERDALERTNERDALERT"

Although now it's "OMGx0rz ur so Em0xc0r3Z"

I simply ignore them XD

cus its stupid

^don't spam, please.

that's not true. IB is not where the geeks are. there are people at my school who're doing the full IB diploma, and they're really stupid.

haha yeah, honors aren't geeks! jerks who say we are...

half the people in honors at my old school got through the year by cheating on tests and copying homework.

edit:
and by the way, stuyvesant is NOT full of geeks. my sister went there with a whole bunch of friends, they got decent B-range grades and still were able to party every weekend. it's a smart school, but that doesn't mean that they're all geeks.

I'm an honorstudent.
The hot people are in honors classes at my school too.

Eh, we have stupid kids doing full IB too, but they'r fairly geeky reguardless. But yeah, I meant my school, generally.

Actually when I was in high school, the people on the principal's honor roll were some of the most popular.

I don't really care if people think I'm a nerd or a geek. All of my classes are AP next year and I'm in higher level classes this year, and no one has called me a nerd. People are pretty impressed actually, and think it's cool. If someone did call me a nerd, I wouldn't care...they'll probably end up as my garbage man in the future anyway.

^^Haha, you know what I say when people call me a nerd/geek?

"Well then fella! I guess we're in it together!" Haha. I had to say that once for people to stop calling me that. =D

yeah, it's a stereotype. my friend knew this girl who was such a big-headed freak and thought that if u were a geek, u wouldn't get anywhere in life, and that if u were popular, preppy, and pretty, u would be successful...what a retard

^^Yeah, thats freaking retarded!

Yeah, a dumbass sure is going to open the next new hot business!!

Psssssh..

noo im in honors and i get sent to the deans office everyday for falling asleep

^^And how does that contribute to the topic? You falling asleep doesn't classify you. Unless...at your school for some strange reason people who are asleep are hott...

What?

Do hush. You're most wrong. The topic isn't about being cool..at all. It's about honors and geekiness. Not being a geek doesn't make you "hott" [sic]; you can not be a geek by taking the classes and still being apathetic to the acedemics, in ways such as falling asleep. Need I remind you that your telling her she's not contributing contributes even less?

And "hot" is spelled with one "t," for the record

because she's an honor student...

at my school, we don't use the words "honor student" i guess... we just say "made the honor roll" lol..

yeah, for the first semester i was on the B honor roll and for the second semester i was on the A honor roll...

they don't consider me a geek...

where i go to school, pretty much EVERYBODY at least makes the B honor roll... it's like everyone at my school is perdy smart... because they work us hard..



haha, what a dumbassed thing to think!!!

so if you're pretty and popular and preppy and stupid you can invent things like computers and TVs and be successful..
NO!!
if you're a dumbass, you can't DO anything, and if you can't DO anything you aren't successful! HAHA.

As a 10th Grader, I'm in all honors and 2 AP classes
i'm also somewhat popular and play sports
many "popular" kids are in honors but dropping ever year

I'm in honors. And so are alotta people that I know. and they are definately not geeks. everyone in my school has the ability to be in honors, but they choose not to.

i think on tv, smart people are portrayed as geeks probably because everyone thinks that smart people have no social life or anything. its really dumb. =\

:[ im not in any honors.people/my friends think that im chinese i should be smart and be in all honors. but im not :[. and when im in class and the teacher says, so and so got the highest grade in the class, and everyone points at me,and it isnt me, i probably got like a B or something :[

most of my friends are all in honors and we're not popular

Nobody on honors in my school is called a geek - I think that's just a stereotype.

I'm on honors, and I find that nobody is really distinguished as being on honors or not.
