__ People Who Dumb Themselves Down __ Not a lot of things bug me but one thing that really gets on my nerves are people who are very intelligent but act dumb. Now, here it is that this person is getting straight A’s and is in all honor’s classes but they act DUMB! Now why is that, you might ask? Well some people may do it to get attention from everyone and some may do it to get attention from the person they like.

For example, I had a friend who was so bright and gifted, but when she was around boys she would dumb herself down to get attention from them. Either she would say something stupid or she would fall down or fall down in such a way that she would land in a boy’s arms. My friends and I would tell her about it but she would insist that she doesn’t act that way on purpose.

Honestly, I feel that if you are trying to get people to notice you, you should be yourself and they will like you for who you truly are. Also, I find it outrageous that some people actually think it’s cute when a smart person acts dumb. I feel as though that if you act like this as a child it may carryout throughout your adult hood and this could cause you to make bad decisions in life. This is why it bugs me when smart people act dumb.
