That is SO cute. I love nerds too.

Why is it that children pick on the nerds? It is because the nerds know the "right" answers, behave in a "right" manner, and do their assignments the "right" way?

Yes, it is. It is jealousy that drives other people to be mean and cruel to some others people for no good reason at all. The light and goodness in some people causes dark people to want to kill and hurt them because if someone else does the right thing or studies or excels, then it convicts the person who is slacking or rebellious.

I was a teacher and I loved "nerds" or great students which is what I called them (not nerds as it still hurts some children's feelings). I was also a "nerd" myself but I blended in pretty well. I wrote my first psychology term paper in college on "Masking and the Gifted Female."

James 4:1 - 6

1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?

2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealousy"?

6 But he gives more grace. Therefore he says, "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

What do you believe that rapists are?

I believe that we are start as blank slates as children and thus "normal". I do not believe that people are born "rapists." I believe that the way "good" and "evil" as well as "right" and wrong" is handled by the parents and society is what creates them. The man who raped me "appeared" to be normal and successful. He was well honored and respected in the army. We were both getting our Master's degrees and it turned out that he had lusted after me since undergrad and he had forced both of his 2 long-term college girlfriends to have sex with him while they were dating. The latter young woman was from a small town and not educated and she married him after he raped me and she knew so.

Most rapists have a lot of emotional problems and a lot of it is from upbringing and the things that they listened to, watched, or read about. They were fed or consumed large quantities of violence. A lot of rapists have been abused themselves. I am NOT making excuses for abuse and rape. I am just stating where it comes from and it is evil. And I believe we all start the same as babies who need love, to be held, milk, and to be kept clean & dry. A lot of people feed and clothe their children but they do not hold and love them, this is a problem in our society.
