Power To The Geeks!
Sorry if you don't agree, but I was just really irritated, OK?
What's wrong with being clever?
A lot of people I know (most are not friends) have a problem with me reading.
I act like I don't care, but it really irritates me.
I was told off in class once and it just happened to be for reading in class, which everyone found hilarious. But isn't it better to be reading rather than being told off for talking or being on your phone in class? Just because I listen in school, I'm uncool. It'll be me that's laughing at them when I earn more money.
I would rant more, but I have books that need reading.
Goodbye.

I completely agree! Don't be sorry for ranting - you have a good reason to. It is not right how reading is so bad and nerdy. What's wrong with being intelligent? I would much rather try hard and be who I am than pretend to be dumb so people think I'm cool. Reading this comment back it sounds really nerdy but who cares? I just want to make something of my life.

I know just what you mean. I read a lot. I wear hunger games t-shirts on our non-uniform days. I like being a geek though. It's fun =D love your article, I know exactly how you feel!

I am your BFF and I embrace your reading. I feel your pain, they pick on us together but at least you have me! It was quite funny in class because you never get told off, she told me off to remember!

Yes we do need to stick together! I too am laughed at and I have jokes made about me because I am pretty clever and always have a book in my hand (if not definitely in my bag)! Thanks for sharing this, I'll be reading your other articles as well! xx

@MediaManiac The fact that you feel the need to ask means you're not ready to become a geek...
