That's happened to me. No one wants to sit next to a nerd.

People can be so mean! Your teacher sounds as immature as the students. Just remember you great and beautiful and one of this worlds creations, you'll show all of them that in the future in a positive way friend

There is always that one class that has the annoying rude kid and I can't stand it.

Trust me I feel your pain

Wow, what a horrible teacher. You should report her ass!

Well OP, is your desk the one right in front of the teacher's desk? 'Cause if it is then probably that's why this happens often and the reason why the dude prefers detention 'cause one can't cause nonsense right in front of the teacher. Seems like my High School was the only one where nerds were liked and quiet people, naughty people, etc. all got along.

Maybe you could get a job in the FBI as an interrogator or something.

Ever think of just being home schooled? Only ones you'd have to worry about not liking you would just be your family then. I mean if that don't work out... become a monk and live out in a cave. Im sure the rodents and pests will surely be able to put up with ya at least. Hell if not... go isolate yourself down in the depths of Courtney Loves, Rosie O'Donalds, or Paris Hilton's vag. Only life forms in them places are either crabs or diseases. Yall are sure to get along cuz like you.... they too are very disliked. I'm not always a dick, but clearly I am today. Lucky you. haha

What kind of teacher would do that? I would press a formal complaint.

That is horrible. report both the teacher and the student for this. This act they're doing is disgusting
