My daughter has always been proud to be a nerd, but now it is something for which she is being bullied. She is really confused about all of this. She is proud of being a good person and now, being bad is best and most popular.
She does have a best friend (thank goodness) and is very happy with her teacher and loves her band director. The truth is that I have felt sort of bullied for being intelligent (or at least interested in intellectual pursuits) as an adult.
This is so frustrating because everything I have taught her to be is being challenged and truthfully, it is for me also.
