Why nerds are unpopular

Being smart in a typical American secondary school makes life difficult as teenagers would rather focus on being popular.

Nerds are smart but not socially adept. They avoid social interaction and instead focus their energy on becoming smarter, not adopting fashionable norms. This causes nerds not to be very popular at school. Yet, nerds seem to do just fine after high school and in the real world, as being trendy doesn’t matter so much.
