I know quite a few very wonderful young people who proudly proclaim NOT being in the "cool" crowd.
Because, you are right.
Yes, you are right. He seems happy and does have friends but doesn't seem to have a "best" friend, but that's ok. He is very active and has outside activities, sports, etc. I think i am just disappointed that this still goes on in school. I remember being a "nerd" in middle school but became popular in high school . I had a good school experience and i just want that for all my kids i guess. I am going to try and hang back and see how things go the rest of the year.
I think you have to let him go and go in the direction he feels most comfortable in and most acceptable in.

More Than You Ever Wanted to Know
Here on the MS Coast, most towns have 3 or 4 elementary schools, one or 2 middle schools, and one high school.
I don't know if they have this distinction at Kurt's school. Probably. The boys all seem to hang out together still, so that is a good thing.
I wouldn't push it. When I was in grade 11, I had a group of friends. We weren't like losers or rejects but there were popular people. I became friends with one of the super popular girls because we both had boyfriends on the hockey team and pretty much dumped all my friends to hang out with the cool kids in grade 12. it was all so superficial though and now x many years later, I don't talk to any of the cool people anymore but I do still keep in touch with some of my original friends. Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but I think it does.
Maybe it is because my dd belongs to the "nerd herd" as you call it, but
What offended you? The term she used (which I'd never heard before) or the fact that her son is bothered by being labeled as 'nerdy'? Or that mom is?
I can see why mom wouldnt want her son stuck with a label that can define him throughout the rest of his school years.
