QFT.I think the best and fastest thing to help you recover is to stop moping about it. The more you think about it, the worse it'll get. Try to change what you can, and if you can't, work with what you got.
That's what I thought too but didn't want to get into it. If you're going into something where you're relying on recruiters who come to your school, then yeah, school matters. Otherwise, I don't see it being as much a factor. For my field, it's all about my portfolio, contacts, and experience.@Firestorm: even the college you go to doesn't matter much for most fields you're interested in. But if you want to go into investment banking or become an attorney, you better go to a top school.
I reeeeeeeally wish someone would've told me this earlier in my life. It's definitely one of the best pieces of advice you can give. As long as you are an aspiring attorney or doctor to some degree, where you go to college isn't as big of a deal as a lot of people make it out to be. In all honesty, if you're competent and somewhat likable (Not highschool/middleschool "likeable", just polite and you actually look at people when you talk to them) you should be able to get some decent internships/job experience, and that should set you up just fine.@Firestorm: even the college you go to doesn't matter much for most fields you're interested in.

Yay 1400 posts.
I'm going to recommend you never give this kind of reply if somebody starts teasing you about something "nerdy." The worst thing you can do is try to make it sound badass. If you really have to defend yourself just tell them old habits die hard and pass it off, don't hang on the subject or throw yourself in front of a bus over it.Nestle said:Whenever somebody would see me playing Magic and call me a dork or something I'd be like "Have you ever played it? It's pretty badass. You can summon demons and throw fireballs at eachother and shit." That would usually change people's minds.
WTF, if people beat you up if you talk about "things that nobody would bring up", then there is nothing wrong with you. No really, there isn't. We all have different tastes. And you should report whoever is beating you up to the authorities, that is assuming he already did it, if not, nothing to worry, you shouldn't get beaten up for your opinions, if you are, as said before, it is not your fault.Like while everyone else is living life like how I want to, I am stuck at home going on things that nobody in my school would even bring up unless they want to get beat up.
