"I blame the parents"

[denny]

Interesting angle. The main thing that got me through being terminally uncool at school was knowing that I was the brightest one in my year - but then I can't see my parents having discouraged me from being as smart as possible, even by subtle omission.

I'd have been terminally uncool whatever happened, but being female and intelligent in st helens definately isnt allowed, and somehow i picked up on this and toned it down alot till I got to high school. Mind you, even then most of my reports say "quiet and conscientious". Oh, and "shy". Sounds like me, right?

Well... one out of three ain't bad.

Don't think you'd pass any exams by getting 33%!
