Not all nerds where glasses!
I repeat: NOT ALL NERDS WEAR GLASSES!!!
Do people understand that glasses enhance eyesight and not your intelligence? Just curious.
I'm smart and to some people, kinda nerdy and I don't where glasses. Nor do half of the nerds I know.
Of course there are exceptions, but the again, I know jocks and players with glasses as well.
If you want to show that your character is a nerd, let them have their nose in a book all the time, have them talk with a higher vocabulary or give random facts about topics they like.
Also, nerds aren't always socially awkward. Again, people sometimes consider me nerdy and I'm definitely not socially awkward.
Nerds are almost always stereotyped in stories and that makes them hard to relate too. I can't relate to someone who loves homework and studying (I liked school and learning, but I HATE homework) or someone who can barely look others in the eye, but the next moment she's snapping at the bad boy.
On that topic, why are the nerds so snobbish as well?
They tend to be rude, judging others without knowing then and then getting mad when people judge them. They're a bit all over the place... Like I am at the moment.
To the point, nerdy characters need to be more developed and show their nerdy side, rather than just basting them in stereotypes.
Don't just give them glasses and straight A's and call it a day.
