Ok so it's hard living with people who don't understand our way of thinking, they see it as some sort of social disorder. I feel as though I'm treated as a second class being because of this but then again I laugh at the stupidity of them. I'm not one to gossip or back stab or talk about people behind their backs but in this one case I shall make an exception. My younger brother (16 years of age) has never heard of the great Sir Isaac Newton... The topic happened to come up when he got all confused when I mentioned Newtonian Physics. I did in my defence get all scientific on him and he's no egg head so in somewhat small way he can't be blamed.

While I do think it's strange a 16 year old hasn't come across Newton yet (doesn't he show up in a lot of children's cartoons?), I don't think we should be like "ugh, non-nerds" and laugh at their ignorance.

We'd end up like the Mean Girls of nerdery, and I am not willing to stand for that.

I'm getting on for 18 and I couldn't tell you much about Newtonian Physics, if anything. It's not unfair that he doesn't get it. Especially when he probably knows a lot of things you don't too.

Please... please tell me you aren't still using Newtonian physics...

[Wolf]

Fuck yeah, look at that uncertainty principle at work

*fap fap fap*

Fuck that 4 dimensional Newton ass bitch, we 11D now.

Not to mention the dimensions between each atom.

Newton be on that arithmetic shit.

QUANTUM FOAM! Am I doing it right?

Psh, nerds suck, I can't stand em.

Hah.

If he hasn't heard of Newton and hes 16 then he needs to pay attention in school.
I was learning about Newton way back in early public school.
Plus there is that whole Newton's apple deal that is taught to kids by damn near everyone who has to explain gravity to small children.

Newton? Who is that??

Hahaha no, I heard of Newton by the 3rd grade if I remember correctly. I guess we "nerds" always paid more attention in class though.

Me as a young boy: OMG! GRAVITY AND STUFF... I mean uhhh.. psshh I'm no nerd

Me now: Please move your head so I can obtain my knowledge.

To be honest, 95% of the shit I learned in school I've forgotten now. The things I learn now are through my own pursuit of knowledge, which I find works far better than learning about things that, at the time, you don't really give a shit about.

So much truth...

Although, to be fair, I learned a great bit in my electronics vocational class.

I learned how to solder, basic computer-building skills, computer troubleshooting, computer repair/maintenance, LAN/WAN network setup, and how to Counterstrike.

I use that last skill more than anything else though.

I couldn't agree more. I'm still in high school as a senior but I'm taking a college english class at our local college. Not only is it more challenging and interesting, but I've learned more from my professor this year than my high school english teacher.

High school has been a complete breeze. Bring on college!

I didn't rock high school very hard as far as grades went.
Partly because I was lazy and partly because a fair amount of my teachers were ass faces who commanded zero respect and therefore got none.
Once I got to college I made Dean's list like a boss.
By that logic college will be either awesomely easy for you, or a nightmare.
Either way the parties will be the best you have ever had.

I'm wishing for the best! I've heard of some terrible experiences with college. Once I actually get there I'll probably witness a few myself.

As for the parties, I'm not much of a party fellow myself but that probably will change. Just gotta make sure not to party to hard hahaha

[Calvary]

If you're like me, after about five parties you can't be fucked any more. Just full of shallow, pissed, kids. Bah humbug interaction is overrated. Unless parties lead to sex that is, then god with god's blessing. xD

I'm much like you, Affray. Secondary school was a bit of a piss-take, I pretty much coasted my way through really average grades but that disadvantaged me for my A levels in that I couldn't take English Literature on the premise that I was probably too stupid. One year and two A grades later, they realised their mistake. I wish I could go back and slap younger self though, if I had paid attention more I could be heading for Durham or Oxford right now. >_>
