Hello,
I am what you call a "geek", I like video games and well geeky related things. Being in high school I understand that I still have a long way to go in my life but I will always be unpopular. I don't have the hair, I don't have the eyes and I am not what you call "ripped" Most girls look at me and think I am a psycho or a creep, but they have really gotten to know me. I am writing this myTake so if anyone can relate, they can know that I feel the same way.
Growing up in Australia there is a lot of racism and crap like that, I have to deal with it myself and I hate it. It hurts when a girl calls me a *insert racist remark here* and then walks off and acts likes nothing happened, this happens to me and so many people like me every day. One day I said hi to this one girl with a smile on my face and she told me "f*ck off", I was horrified by the rudeness of this girl. So being different meant that I got picked on a lot, meaning I wasn't one of those "popular" kids. All the popular guys at my school had girlfriends and money and all that crap, of course I was always left out. Never invited to parties and made nearly zero friends. But I didn't let that get to me, I worked hard through primary school and honestly, I am still stupid as ever in high school.
But after my past experiences, I have learnt that you don't have to popular to get a girl (or a boy). A little cliché but so many people out there think you have to have the looks to get a girl (or boy), when all you need is confidence. That saying about being confident when asking out a girl, it really does work. If you walk up to her and smile and say hello and if she walks away, you should feel happy that you tried and there will always be more down the road. Some might be bumps but some might be long straight roads what run for miles, you always have to keep driving that car and don't let a Kangaroo jump out and hit your car (Ahaha all you Australians out there know what I mean). Being popular in school means nothing, I understand that it's like a "status". But you can always be popular in your own group, I am pretty popular in my geek group. Everyone knows my name and everyone wants to talk to me, even some girls have asked me out. There is no such thing as "popular means you get the girl (or boy)" If you have heart and confidence, you will always find that one.
Ok let's all admit that whole paragraph was a little cliché but I really need people to understand that there are millions of people who are unpopular and feel bad about themselves. It doesn't matter what people think of you, just keep driving down that road until you meet that one road what goes on for miles. Keep driving and be yourself, popularity is not the biggest thing in the world!
