They are just trying to bring you down. It is offensive, but dont let it get to you. You let their words hurt you, you let them win. They are trying to insult you because you are smarter than them.
They only wish they had the motivation, determination, and success that you have. Take their words with a grain of salt. They mean nothing to you and you are perfect as you are. Take pride in it.
nah I wouldn't worry about names people like that call you. Their opinions shouldn't mean anything at all. And if they keep being mean, just kick 'em in the nuts.
@Cschofield21 I only wish I stuck up for myself at your age instead of taking it. There were a few balls I needed to introduce to my foot but was too beat down by no self esteem. I'm glad you busted some balls.
@Cschofield21 You are right. I'm happy to say that even tho I took it at a young age I definitely learned to love myself and stopped being a doormat. Although I wish I knew then what I know now I think the way things happened taught me to be a strong woman and to stop caring what people think that knew nothing about me. And I also became protective of people that were hurt like I was. You sound like you got a good head on your shoulders.
Whether the words are positive or negative may depend on where ya live (nerd is sort of positive where I live, dork is not used). I am annoyed whenever someone tries to "put me in a box," though.
You should really focus on yourself and the future. Since ur getting As u will benefit more than them being popular in school, which is temporary til you leave lol.
Nerd and dork do have negative connotations as they suggest lack of social skills.
But no you shouldn't get offended by it even if it was intended. You just play into their hands that way. What you get offended about is more about you than them.
What can I say... it happens. Just forget about it. I knew a girl back then like that that I liked a lot. I just couldnt see why anyone called her a dork. It's meaningless drivel.
You're welcome. I'm telling you that from my own experience. If you start to listen to them, it will destroy you, despite nothing being wrong with you.
The nerds are the ones that are your IT support or help desk (or those who think cool people are the top dog) we are the ones who control the network crashes
No, I used to called those things too but it didn't bother me. I still did my work but I became very social after realizing that I'm way to focused on work.

Don't be offended. The world needs more nerds. From my experience the ones who pick at you the most feel threatened by you. So flaunt your stuff girl.
Okay thanks
Dorks and nerds often have great jobs, and great friends. Knows how to live and are interesting to talk with. So no be proud instead.
Okay, thank you :)
People who call you name are usually sad an pathetic individuals, ignore them and keep doing what you like.
Thank you :)

Okay thanks
I always take it as a complement when ever some one refers to me as a nerd. It is s good thing.
Nerds rule the world.
Remember that the nerds are the ones who really control everything 🤓
Nope, it’s the cool people
The nerds are the ones that are your IT support or help desk (or those who think cool people are the top dog) we are the ones who control the network crashes
Us cool people have the true power of influence, even behind closed doors
Go ask your IT team who really has control
Go ask your world leaders
If you are a nerd or dork, but don't want to be, then you should probably be offended. Otherwise, no.
you should just say "THANKS! Maybe I'll give you a job once I rule the world with all the other "nerds" out there".
Just consider them jealous.
No, I used to called those things too but it didn't bother me.
I still did my work but I became very social after realizing that I'm way to focused on work.
I have been called stupid many times tho and I am. I'm only booksmart and nothing more
Okay thanks. You are much more than nothing :)
It is truly because they are jealous that you are successful.
Thanks
That's up to yourself to decide. Only you can actually make those words mean something.
I know and I've chosen not to let it :)
You should feel proud... I feel proud.
U dont find many ignorant reading books nowadays!
Yeh true and thank you
Just look at them with disgust and state: "I refuse to have a battle of witts with an unarmed person.". Then just walk away
Thanks
Dont ever let an idiot steal the wind from your sails
I love that quote
Don’t get offended or hurt by it. I would say either the boys like you are jealous of you. To me that sounds like a win win
