Teen film persona (4)

I believe the answer is:

nerd

(Other definitions for nerd that I've seen before include "Intelligent but single-minded expert" , "Foolish or annoying person" , "In slang, a foolish or uninteresting person" , "Socially inept but knowledgeable person" , "Boringly studious person" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
