Were you a beauty or a geek? Answer for your teen self not the fully integrated adult that you are today?

Answer for your teen self not the fully integrated adult that you are today. After watching the TV show last night I started wondering. Aren't we all beauties or geeks, at least when we are young?

By now I feel that I'm a fully integrated adult who has it all covered but when I was a teenager I think I was a geek who didn't have a clue about her own attractiveness. How did this initial assessment of yourself color your view of the world? Does your inner beauty or inner geek still surface from time to time even today?

I was a geek! The amount of time I spend around here shows that I'm still a geek :) I prefer the term "nerd". I'm totally nerdcore.

When I was younger, I had no real idea that I was attractive at all. It didn't help that I had a good friend who upon hearing I had my first boyfriend asked, "Who would ever date you? " (So, not really a good friend, but I thought he was.) I carry grudges.

My other friends think I'm immature for never really forgiving him for that, but it was a really bad time for him to say something of that nature. Seriously, who says something like that? I should let go, but that comment actually put a face to how I already felt about myself in a lot of ways.

Anyway, it definitely colored my self assessment (I still see myself through what others assure me is a warped view). For the most part, I've gotten past being very "oh, I look awful" and am big into the "I look fine and if I bothered, I could probably take care of myself better and look nice". My inner nerd is definitely still alive and well too though.

And that's how I like it.

Oh, I was a geek, all the way. NO doubt, whatsoever. I had weird teeth, no chin, thick glasses, a father in the school district administration who showed up fairly regularly, I was bright, and raised my hand and volunteered information when I knew an answer, and actually enjoyed classes like "Amateur Shakespeare Reader's Theatre."

And sometime in between middle school and high school, I figured out that what anyone else thought really didn't matter a hill of beans, and I started doing much, much more of what I wanted to do and what I thought was important, and I've kept it up ever since, and worked hard to teach my kids that, too. I was incredibly more happy in college than I was in HS, and I actually am a HS drop-out. My HS required 22 hours for graduation, but the local state college only required 18 for admission--so I skipped out on my senior year of HS and went to college instead.

Best decision I ever made, getting away from the kids I'd gone to school with since I was in kindegarten. It took me a while to build up confidence in myself--I had to develop what I was actually good at, and go from there with that. Once I settled on what I'm good at, enjoy doing, and that pays a reasonable amount, I was much happier.

I'm still pretty geekish. I mean, really--I've grown into what my 18 year old daughter describes (when she meets someone similar) as "a crazy middle-aged lady, just like you" and claims she wants to grow up just like me. I do LOVE that.

I'm better looking than I was in HS, but I've never been, nor ever will be a beauty--nor do I really care.

As a teenager, I was closer to being a geek. I wore glasses and wasn’t terribly athletic. I was an A- student in high school and a straight A student in college.

But, I was always involved in extracurricular activities, had a gift of gab, an interest in the ladies and an excellent sense of humor. I’m not sure where exactly that put me. I wasn’t a jock or one of the beautiful people, but managed to get along with everyone.My guess is that sicne I didn’t fit exactly in either camp, it turned me into a bit of a loner and made me feel like an outisder.

Those feelings still persist today, except with those with whom I’m close.

What really changed me was a broken romance. After it was over, I went on a diet, started to work out and got contact lenses.

I became much more confident as a result. But, that's on the surface. Down below, I'll always feel like a bt of an outsider.

Total Geek! In some ways, I still am. As a teenager, I was overweight, in gifted and talented, loved science fiction more than romance.

I lost my weight senior year and although I was popular, I still a geek. However, I was true to myself and still am. I still would rather watch or read a drama, sci-fi, or mystery than romance.

I love dressing up, make-up, perfume, etc. , but I'm not stuck on my outward appearance. There are more important things..

Most definitely a beauty! As you can see I am a very good looking guy, so you can only imagine.... I was a very cute kid, very good looking teenage, its just not in my blood lines to have geekness, we are a very proud family, my mother would not have aloud me to act, look, or even be a geek......I was very cool, had a smooth way with the girls, I was crowned prom king, because I was so popular. Being a geek would have been against my mothers religion, I have three kids and I would not allow this, they have to learn to be confident at a very young age, to dress well, carry themselves in a strong manner, walk with their head high, look men right in the eye, be proud, never a geek or a loser, not in my blood lines.....this kind of behavior would never be accepted.

If I were to see my son acting like a geek or even running like a geek, I would stop him in his tracks, if a child is a geek, it is only the parents fault. I have seen many geekie kids, there is always a reason, just look at the parents, usually they are geeks too, I should start a new bussiness called "how not to be a geek" I will give lessons on how to be so cool, sauve , I will start with the way they dress, this will give them power, like the old saying goes "IF YOU LOOK GOOD YOU FEEL GOOD" I will teach them the correct way to hold there heads high and walk proud, like I myself do every second of the day, I will teach them to give valueable advice as I do.

Support your answer please. " "In school, were you a beauty or a geek?" "Beauty and the Geek fans, do you think they should have added the male beauty and the girl geek to the show?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
