That "weird" kid in high school.

You guys ever feel this way? There's always that one kid in class who's really smart and all, thinks outside the box and in very different/interesting ways. Everyone else might think he's weird and laugh.

For example, my Algebra II class. This kid in my class who doesn't talk much with other people. Doesn't really "fit in" with kids from what I know. He came up to the board and solved a math problem using a different method. Nobody knew what the heck he was doing. They all gave him weird looks and some started laughing.

I'm just looking at him, looking at everyone else. Watching all the "normal" or "cool" kids just giggle at him and give him weird looks. On the inside I'm just thinking "These kids may be laughing at him now, but in 10 years, I bet he's gonna go so much further in life then all of them."

What do you guys think? It's just so interesting to think that while these kids may be laughing at him right now, in 5-10 years, everything will be different.

Well you often talk about your friends letting you down, why not get chatting to him see what he's like. Sounds like he could do with someone on his side (plus he might do your homework for you )

There were some 'weird' kids who I tried to get along with, but they were way too sensitive, there was a heavy kid who had eczema and his parents divorced, I tried to buddy up with him, we would eventually start making jokes and I made a gay joke towards him, this kind of thing was common play with 15 year olds, but it really hit a nerve with him and he stopped talking to me, weird.
