nerd Am I gonna get bullied and ostracized?

[Hopa12]

Hello! I am an eccentric introverted nerd teen male who loves Anime, Video Games, STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and Chess. I am not shy but I am kind of socially-awkward. I am not shy. I just love being quiet, friendless, and alone. Speaking of STEM and Chess, I am highly skilled in the two of them.

 

But I also want to join my US public highschool's male wrestling team. I am currently a US public highschool student.

 

Am I gonna get bullied and ostracized? Do you people in Intermat hate nerds?

wrestling is a great sport for everyone. you will be just fine. work hard and don't be insecure.

One of the best to ever wrestle is proudly way into Japanese cartoons and video games.  I'm pretty sure you will be just fine.

If you work as hard as you can and never complain, you should be fine.  If you cause the team to do extra conditioning, and you are not the strongest on the team, yes you will be bullied.  This is not related to being awkward and nerdy.
