The Intellectual

Well dressed, well read, clean and intelligent, The Intellectual, fellows, is the boy that your mother wishes you where more like and ladies, that boy your mother wishes you would bring home. This AP nerd’s eloquent speech is their own tragic flaw. Not only does everyone realize that no straight teenager would set aside time to read Jane Eyre and other works by the Brontë sisters, but no self respecting and motivated straight boy has had as few sexual encounters as The Intellectual. This nerdy teenager is socially awkward and all thumbs. Even if presented with an opportunity to “get some” this boy would over think the entire situation, weighing pros and cons, questioning and re-questioning their sexual orientation while pondering their curfew and current academic goals. This over thinking process does not only occur when The Intellectual is presented with sex, they also over think social situations that involve the 5 Ds of high school: drinking, dating, dances, drug use and driving recklessly.
