A friend of mine said she doesn't read because only book worms read, and guys don't like girls who read.

Your friend is grossly misinformed. Whip out the right book at the right moment, and the boys wil come a-runnin': "Ooh, you like Tolkien too? Really? So, like, what do you think about the Shakesperian parallels with the Ents an stuff? Talk about it over coffee sometime? Can I get your number?"

english has lost its beauty

Languages, just as societies, evolve, but they will not lose their beauty, as long as people like Rimbaud & Squatter are around. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Don't be so negative.

I had my bag taken and thrown over a fence and I was beaten up simply for being "a geek"

People suck sometimes. As long as you don't let them break you, you should turn out all right. The geeks are making millions these days anyway. I wish I were a geek.

The problem with people nowadays is that they judge things without even taking the time to experience them

That problem has existed since the dawn of civilization. It's not a recent development, and I doubt it's going away any time soon. The Legolas craze on the other hand...

it's no longer "cool" to be well-read or intelligent

Once again, the less intelligent people are just taking their revenge out on you, due to the fact that subconsciously a lot of them are aware that a decade down the road they'll be asking you "paper or plastic?"
