Question

Why do people at school think I'm not very smart when I get A's in every class? I don't really raise my hand a lot in class...... maybe that's why? I also am kind of quiet around some people but I don't act d/umb and whenever I do speak to some of those people, it's always intelligent. I'm the new kid, and at my old school, I was always called smart..... so why do they call me du/mb?

Answer 1

They may not know very much about you and assume things about you based on things they see and perceive that are separate from the grades that you get and/or they think you aren't intelligent on something to do with your emotions/behavior and/or someone or some amount of people have developed something against you, these are just potential situations.

Explanation:

Regardless of what the reason is, move forward with what you do and meet people who enjoy your company. Those who treat you badly are not worth your time. Best of luck!

Answer 2

Honestly, I feel you. I've been there. Being the new kid not also brings problems related to your character, but to your feelings. I totally think you're smarter than all your other classmates! :D. Keep being yourself and never let them bring you down. If you fall down and don't feel like getting back up, remember this message!
