Why are nerds bullied?

Answer 1

"Nerds" are bullied to feed the ego of the bullies : they see themselves as dumber or inferior and try to physically belittle or intimidate to make themselves feel better.

This doesn't just apply to "nerds" : bullies pick on those smaller, weaker, or just different than they are.

To avoid bullying, try this:

1. Avoid the people that might be a threat to you. If necessary, change your schedule or routine.

2. Make some friends, or change your look. Act confidently.

3. If bullies are after you, friends, teachers, and supervisors can discourage them.

(see related question)

Basically they are small and scrawny and have no defense. This presents the bullies with little risk of being defeated or embarrassed.

Answer 2

they're not geeks or nerds or however you call them they just get good grades and i think the reason they get bullied is cause the person who is bullying them is jealous and just wants to look "cool"

Answer 3

Because they are different and try to know everything but they don't.

ANSWER

That's why they are called nerds because they do know everything they are so smart. It's rude to make fun of them just because they are smart and other people who think themselves popular aren't as smart! LEAVE THEM A LONE!

I'm not a nerd but I have a few friends that get straight A's and aren't nerds either, so give it up. You are not gonna make your life and self feel better, so STOP!

Answer 5

Those who find a 'nerd' annoying have a problem within themselves, not the person they refer to as a 'nerd'. To label a person as a 'nerd' is a clue to your own self esteem problem.
