Right? I was a hardcore nerd, back when it was a real stigma to be so, and got over it once I acquired my first high-paying job, because I actually paid attention in class and learnt to do things that most other people can't. If you're over 20, and anything that happened in high school (besides serious, life-altering, real shit: like a shooting or a rape or whatever) still bothers you— you should just kill yourself, seriously. You think high school is "mean"? Try office politics, you dumb fuck.
