Nerd Supremacists

Everyone, I presume, has to pass through a period or periods of adulthood in which they reconcile themselves with their childhood and the things that happened to them. 

During that time, I would also presume, among other things, they would be self-aware of the high school clique with which they identified, if their high school had such things, and would turn it over in their minds frequently and talk about it often.

I also think it's natural and fun to joke about one's former clique identity in a lighthearted and fun way that shows it no longer matters.

One thing I find questionable, however, is nerd triumphalism. That is, people gloating and salivating over this or that piece of information that shows how nerds are more successful and "jocks" less so. 

Resentment is natural; at some point, it becomes unhealthy. 

Let's root for everyone. 

Here's a story: I was well into deep depression in high school. This means I didn't have a normal social life. In fact, I was outside of every single clique. Off the top of my head, I can think of three instances in which someone reached out to me. One of the people was a "nerd". One was a "jock". And one was a cheerleader.
