Read this story on CNN, most of you probably already have but I am still playing catch-up and it is a heartwarming story for all geeks before Christmas.
I've been a geek all my life but I was lucky, I was OK at sport and big so bullying wasn't an issue for me.
My daughter, 6, blond with glasses,had to wear an eyepatch like Katie, loves Doctor Who and used to get a bit of stick at school - Doctor Who is for boys you see.
However, each week there's usually a photo of, or a picture by, a girl in Doctor Who Adventures comic and each week I say to the sprog: "See you are not alone. Stick with it."
So to all geek girls out there who are worried, don't be.
You're not alone, stick with it.
