I don't HATE geeks. I defend the weak from the predators as far as geeks and bullies are concerned. Or at least, I did in middle school....For instance, in middle school, one time

When I was 11 or 12 My gifted class was at a seperate middle school. And there was this one kid, by the name of Tommy, who I always sympathized with. He was one of the three most picked on kids in my class, purely because he was one of the least attractive looking. He was a ginger with groaty kind of out of control hair. Like carrot top,  but not as UGLY.

Well anyway, they would make us have gym class in school for our gifted program, back in 92, 91 or so. And we were jogging track in a group, with kids from our school, and kids from my school.

When we were in the middle of jogging rather slowly, Tommy was minding his own business, when one Prickish seeming kid with straight black hair who looked all "normal" (for a bully) turned his head and took a glare at Tommy. He then lurched around all creepy and aggressive and predatory like, swooping in like a hawk on Tommy or something.

"Hey RAT FACE!!" he yelled right in his face. I saw the whole thing and was jogging 3 to 4 feet away in the crowd. This bully didn't care about me. I didn't stand out.  But TOMMY did.

I then proceeded to lose my cool and get mad as I found this furious kind of anger taking over my mind. Was this.....The Power of Sympathy. "I like Tommy, he's smart and tries really hard, and no one respects him and everyone makes fun of what people would now call his ginger looks. I intervened on Tommy's behalf. I knew Tommy was too terrified and afraid to say anything back. He had a vulnerable look on his face, humiliated. I Felt REALLY BAD FOR TOMMY.

So I rushed up to the bully real stealthy like, and got right back in his (the bullies face).

"HEY DON'T SAY THAT TO HIM. DON'T PICK ON HIM. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF SOMEONE DID THAT TO YOU LIKE I'M DOING AND GOT ALL UP IN YOUR FACE?? HUH!?"

That shut his ass up right quick. Talking back to a bully that wasn't even targeting me, but a kid I felt sorry for. And that was my first experience with talking back and intimidating a bully right back. Speaking their own language.

I HATE bullies. I don't "worship" nerds or anything.  But I know how hard nerds have it in school. Tommy wasn't at all a nerd to me. Especially not after I saw him have to endure THAT. The THINGS he must of had to go through growing up. He never did anything rude or wrong either. Never even cussed or anything.

THE END.
