Author's note: It's kind of like "All Men are the same". I don't have anything against anybody. This is just for entertaining. Though I do believe the true owners of the world are the nerds and the people clever enough to follow them. This is not for insulting anyone, not even cheerleaders, jocks or pussycats. I'm just following the stereotypes, even though I normally don't, or at least try to ^_^.

For the Nerds

Who doesn't know a nerd? He is either the outcast, the object of mockery, your best friend, or maybe, even, you! They are the ones who know all the answers to the teacher's question, some may even ask for the "extra homework" *gasps*. The nerd is overall the one that annoys the rest.

I've always thought that being a nerd could be great fun. One degree of their power is that every classmate is at your mercy. You are the one that breaks the average. In a test, the nerd can easily get a very high score, and force the teacher to grade the rest according to the nerd. Nerds are powerful, all the rest mere humans must be careful with them. They can help, or they can crush. A nerd, most of the time, seeks to help others. This will be very helpful for the other average students, since they can ask the nerd for help.

Here comes another degree of power for the nerds: they can tutor you or leave you as dumb as a chair. Let's say you have problem in math. (Why are the nerds always so much better at math?) You will obviously go to the nerd in your class. Unless, of course, you hate him or her, or just decide that you won't stoop to them, since you are *oh so much* cooler. Most nerds I know will help you, in the blink of an eye. They'll explain everything, including the chapter you haven't discussed in class yet. Of course, he or she may dislike you, and you have unsuspectingly fallen to the nerd's hands. They will try to confuse you, or just ignore you.

One would think, that the popular kids (cheerleaders, jocks, "pussycats", or just anyone with only half a brain), will be more successful and better. But, really, are they? Will they use their education for something useful? Uh-NO! Will they even remember it? No, they're too busy remembering the play by play and the cheering routine, or how much make up they have to put on. But the nerds, the mighty nerds. now, THEY are better. First of all, they're suffering as outcasts, and even if that is a double edged knife (the nerd can turn out to be a psychotic serial killer, now that's power!), it also helps them be patient, and wait for their time to shine. Once it comes, they won't let it get away.

Second of all, they have the brains; the grey matter, that thing that hurts when you're thinking too much (if you think). I mean, that's what made them nerds in the first place. That's why the mere mortals hate them. They have better grades than the rest, which makes them outcasts, which makes the rest ignore them, which makes them hide alone in their rooms, which makes them go and look for more information and *gasps* read! So, they become even more knowledgeable than before, making the rest more envious.

Yes, I do believe the rest envy the nerds. You may have not noticed, but if you have something against the nerds, why is that? Have you thought about it? Of course there are some that really require the dislike of others. Like, for example, the arrogant nerd, which is the insufferable being that never thinks he or she is wrong. Another one is the conceited nerd. Come on, we've seen them, we know them! They are the ones that become the slobs that live in their parents' house at age 40, and ultimately become the psychotic serial killers! There is a growing inclination of love towards the nerds. Maybe the "Revenge of the Nerds" is finally taken its toll with moviegoers. Or maybe we've grown more empathic towards those who are not like us. Yes, that's it. We are starting to accept those around us, and are starting to believe, that although we are all different, our uniqueness is a reason for bonding. Through this, we find what we've been missing. We finally know what we were looking for: each other. What a bunch of crap!

But, really, why are we more lenient towards them? Because they are becoming the majority. The rest are a dying species. The rest have finally realized that to live truly you must have a brain and use it!

So, with great pride, I announce to the world that I am a nerd, a geek, a dork, an outcast. I'm me, becoming more like those that surround us, but still remaining (or at least trying to), as an individual. Of course, if you know me in real life, you already knew of my nerd status.

Yes, I like to learn ancient and dead languages. Yes, I enjoy sci-fi. Yes, I enjoy RP-ing. Yes, I have portfolios full of the history of ancient civilizations. Yes, I enjoy documentaries. And yes, I love those sweet candies called Nerds (I know you do too).

I love my PC, made possible by truly great nerds. I love TV, made by them too. And I hope you love this article, made by one self-proclaimed Nerd.

That's why I can truly say: Everyone loves nerds. Be it an inventor or its invention, a candy, or the person next to you.
