I think i was a 'nerd' mostly because i was my personal self. And i expressed myself as a person, not as a group. I stand for my own opinion, all the time. You don't make yourself popular when you say that you dont want to wear Nike's because everybody wears them... or when you say you find them ugly shoes... for instance.

I had a nice college about this sort of behaviour. The teacher defined 2 ways:

A) You give up your own personality and become a person of the group. You take over the group behaviour. And be accepted
B) You stand for your personality, your own behaviour. Having a hard time being accepted. Or not accepted at all.

I am a typical B person.

Basicly i say: If you laugh about me, weather in a positive or negative way. I am glad. Because i make someone smile. And all i had to do, is be myself. If you make such a fuzz about me and my behaviour. I am also glad, it means you are thinking about me, being busy about me. And i do what i always do. Being myself.

I've had a few beat ups. I've scars in my past and in my soul. But in the end, i am who i am, and no-body will take that from me.
