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. |

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 |

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. |

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 |

^^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...

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

NO!! if you're a dumbass, you can't DO anything, and if you can't DO anything you aren't successful! HAHA. |

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. =\ |

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. |
