[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s wrong with being nerdy that it’s an excuse to hate someone? I know it’s off topic but I don’t get it. [/quote]

All the nerds on dcum are taking this personally :roll: 
In reality being a nerd covers for some unfortunate characteristics: socially awkwardness and lack of physical attractiveness, to name a few. I would also prefer for my child not to be a nerd.
In this particular case, i think OP's eldest is calling his brother a nerd only because he realizes that the middle one doesn't really have to do much to be accepted: which for him is not well deserved. They just have different temperaments and probably values. I can see it being hard for any parent.[/quote]

The older one sounds like the the social butterfly, its the middle one who is the "homebody" so I'm not sure that the above assessment is correct based on the limited information we have. Sounds like the older uses "nerdy" as a catch all to avoid using other words that would probably get him in more trouble like calling his weird homebody brother a "loser". But, OP finds the middle one to be "super cool and laid back" so my guess is she's most like the middle one and has a soft spot for him. There's just a lot being left out of this that its hard to understand what the real source of friction is.[/quote]
