I know this is a bit embarrassing, but...?
Serious answers, please?
At my school, I am valued as socially inept and a plain nerd. I skipped a grade when I went to the school, and am the youngest in the grade I just skipped. I am viewed as an immature and unsociable person whose only hobby is building computers.
This is kind of true. My hobby/business is building PCs. I do enjoy computers, and am the highest ranking in my computer skills class.
As far as being unsociable, people think that I physically cannot have a girlfriend, I am incompetent in areas, etc...
The only reason I am not showing any interest is that I am already situated, none of the girls at the school appeal to me, and I am fine where I am.
I am also more mild-mannered than most of the rambunctious students that pick on me for what I am.
The only "friends" I have at this school are the odd people who are not going to the school next year, and are also socially inept
What should I do? Continue trying to run my business? Any help would be taken to the heart

I would keep with the business. Keep the friends that you have. I'm sure you will find new friends next year also. I have a friend that also enjoys building computers. He gets picked on a little but he is still a good person and keeps working on his inventions. Don't listen to the kids that make you doubt yourself. As long as you are having fun and have Some friends you are alright. It couldn't hurt to try to be a little more sociable though.

FIrst of all Im a guy so Im gonna make the one with the towel a girl k? lol but yeah I first would do that if I didnt have any special feelings for someone so Id probably do the same thing as a sign for that person that Im interested in her through that kind of joking bet.

stay friends with the odd people, ignore the "popular" people and keep youre head down. you will be finished school in a few years and will meet people in uni/college/wherever you go who will be as intelligant and down to earth as u are. and in 10 or 15 years time you will meet one of those popular guys or girls and they will be in a trailor park with 7 kids and you will probably be a millionaire or something as you havnt let girls distract you and actually learnt something at school. you will eventually meet a girl, who will appreciate you for you. people mature. most successful people were geeks at school, so stay at it and tell them where to stick it. dont change who you are for anyone.
in my school you were laughed at if you were stupid, not smart.

The harrassment comes from being different.
You are different because you seem more gifted than the in crowd. I guest being gifted comes with a price.

There are probably a lot more people at your school who feel like outsiders than you realize.
Not everyone has to be like Ken and Barbie to be happy. It sounds like you are doing fine.

Go ahead with what you want to do. You shouldn't let others mess with your head. Good luck with your business.
