What is a nerd? Some people use this as a term to call you “smart.” Some say it’s a teasing way to call you a hard worker. But I believe it is what people call you when they are jealous of you. Sometimes when people are jealous, they exclude you from certain activities or they might not treat you well and bully you. They may try to make you feel bad for being a nerd, but it actually means that you have a talent that can make others feel jealous.

Throughout our lives, we have basically always been called nerds, especially when you get good grades or people notice that you are keeping up with the material being taught. We used to think that being a “nerd” or a “dork” is a bad thing.

Next time somebody calls you a nerd, take it as a compliment.

But now, we have come to terms with it. It’s not a bad thing. It just means that people see that we pay attention to our school work. So next time somebody calls you a nerd, take it as a compliment.
