They are thought to carry pencils and pens in their hair, have tape around their glasses, their shirts are tucked in at all times, and their jeans are often a little too short. Yes, I am talking about the stereotypical nerd. For nerds homework is always a must and when it comes to talking to girls.. let's just say that never occurs. Their laughs consist of snorting and although they may seem weak and vulnerable, there is more to them. The people we call "nerds" just want what any other person would want, to fit in. Unfortunately, there are those who make the road to fitting in pretty tough.
The jocks are some of the people nerds dread the most. They wear bright smiles on their faces, are the center of the popular crowd, and seem to be perfect. Looks can be deceiving. Jocks aren't only known for their popularity, but for their bullying as well. They love to pick on the weak, but the reason behind it all may be because they want to feel better about themselves and just like nerds.. They want to fit in.
I like how you begin by addressing all the surface differences, but that underneath they share the same desires and emotions as all people.
