Being a nerd ( Part two of the sermon)

Now on to the second part of this sermon. How many nerds are at your school now? I have noticed very little at mine. I do not know about you, but the nerd population seems to be decreasing. I have one theory that may help us to find out why nerds are a dying breed. I think nerds are vanishing, because of society. In school how many times have you been offered tips on your clothes? I have not so I seriously do not know. ( The only reason I have not, is because I go to a private school with a uniform, so how could I know.) Society and television are shaping us into people we do not want to be. Then there is the pride issue. Some nerds stumble into the well of pride and suddenly become too cool for their own friends and dump them out in the cold. Do you know how much being "in" actually counts. None, Niche, Nien! If you let it matter than it will, but do not. We must fight it and keep the flame alive. Pride stops you from wearing what you like, it kills you from the inside out. Pride does harm, because when you build too much up and someone breaks it you feel like nothing. Have no pride. Lose yourself and your cool. It is the only way to find true happiness. Keep the flame alive. Do not fall into the well of pride, and vanquish the flame. It is important that you stay with your true friends, because in their eyes you are accepted as a friend, but if you are friends with cool kids. Do not feel shame. It is good to expand your horizons. What I am working toward is a land where people can interact with one another. The first step is to lose your self and your pride to find what you really are. That way you can spread that to cool people and they will then take your advice and then people all around the world will unite and put aside their barriers of pride. This is why I insist that you follow these steps. So we can be friends with who we choose and not feel judged.
