Reply #6: since that character would have been me in HS

I did not like the portrayal.
First, I would not lie about having sex
Second, I would never smoke pot
Third, if I was gonna take a class for an easy A, I would take trigenometry, not shop.
Fourth, even if I did take shop, my lamp would certainly work. It just would not be very purty
Fifth, when Queenie says "neither of you is any smarter than the other". I would say "fu$% that. If I am not smarter than Bender, then I've got nothing. He's stronger than I am. He's got more friends than I do. He's even got the prom Queen lusting after him. The only thing I have is my brains."
Sixth, face facts. Geeks do not mind if you are friends with the prom queen because they all want to be her friend too. It is not about "looking up to" the A group, but there is/was a definite social inequality.

But I love that movie anyway.
