The weeks Question Awnsered

Hello! My last post ended with an unanswered question and I am here to answer it. The question was :What kind of shows do nerds watch and what do they think about? Let's start with the answers of the people.
When asked what kind of shows does a nerd watch, the people said:
Star Wars
Yugio
Pokemon
Discovery Channel
National Geographic
Science shows
Soap Operas
Dr.Phil
Star Trek

When asked what do nerds talk about, the people said:
Math
Science
School
Inventions
Video or computer games

Apparently our misinformed friends have the delusion that all nerds love school. The answer to that question is NO!!! Not all nerds love school. Nerds can talk about ANYTHING. And they can watch ANYTHING. Again there is no specific code to what we watch or what we talk about. So I would watch out because the nerd you are looking for could be your mother....beware.....
A fun fact about us nerds is that we often tend to talk to ourselves and make sound effects. Also singing theme songs from our favorite shows is a well liked pastime.
I will see you next week where I will post my first account of two real life english nerds.

Nerds

I interviewed various and diverse people(diversity is always a good thing) and these are the answers that I received:

Glasses(9 times)
Suspenders(3 times)
Braces
Freckles(apparently they are not considered cute anymore)
Terrible Fashion(3 times)
Really Skinny or
Really Fat
Tucked in shirts( 4 times)
Pens(2 times)
A comb over(3 times)
Bow tie
Penny loafers
pocket protectors(3 times)
Unisex clothing
Pioneer dresses
do not care about their hair(2 times)
Pants way too high(4 times)
Rodeo belts(that one surprised me, and was only said once)
High socks(3 times)
untied sneakers(2 times)
Short(2 times)
Scrawny or not a lot of muscle(3 times)
short hair(2 times)
acne
shorts
Greased hair
Dorky shirts
Polo shirts
Dress Conservative

By the way most of these answer's were given by a group of boys I talked to and one three other girls who I am not allowed to name but give their initials which are: S.C., C.T., and S.R. thank you all for your contributions to the question. Now the real answer. I asked around and I think I found the answer to what nerds dress like. OK ,here it is: there is no specific dress code. Nerds don't have a specific dress code. Nerds could be all around you and you wouldn't know it because they don't dress as the stereotypical nerd. Watch out for them. they could be your best friend...
(P.S. whenever Iasked someone what a nerd looks like they always said he. So the stereotypical nerd is also a boy)

Well see you next week where the question will be: What does a nerd watch and what do they talk about?

Nerds and the solving of their myths.

HI! My name is Camilla Coronado, and I will be and sharing either stories of real life nerds or sharing a survey on nerds that will solve some Nerd myths. To start I should tell you my interpretation of a Nerd myth. A Nerd myth is something that the majority of the world thinks about Nerds, but that isn't true. I will display one story or one survey each week and by the end of the six or so posts, the mystery of the Nerd will be more or less solved. I will also add random things about Nerds. The first thing we should establish is what do people think a nerd is? I have interviewed various people and this is what I have come up with.
