As a kid I was picked quite a bit. I didn't conform to wearing concert tee's or listening to certain music. I was into Hank Williams,Sr., Patsy Cline and other Country stars thanks to my Dad. And I proudly displayed my love of Country. So I got bullied.

Kids get picked on for all kinds of reasons and in this video, actor Wil Wheaton, who is helping Nerds be totally hot thanks to The Big Bang Theory, explains to a little girl why someone called him...and her... a nerd.

It's pretty insightful really. Every child should have bullying explained this way. By the way, to me Nerds have always been cool. Without them, we wouldn't have any of the mobile devices and gadgets that consume our lives today. Think about that.
