      The girls school I went to till my GCSE-equivalent I was known as a nerd and was bullied frequently by the mean and popular girls. The school I went to for my A-levels equivalent had people who were similar to me, all studying diligently for the pan-India engineering or medical school entrance exams. You can say I went to a nerd-school for my A-levels equivalent, and hence there was no more being tagged as a nerd.

      Yes, in high school (years 9-12).
      And for the last two years (11 and 12) I choose the nerdiest school in my country 😀 (called “mathematical high school”)

      Kind of, People thought I was a bit of a nerd, but I also was very shy at school and didn’t really talk to many people.
