Your friends determined that you should be known as someone who studies a lot and who is more interested in studying than being social.

Thank you for the response.....ahmm, One more thing, I'd like to ask if this statement, "My friends Branded me as a NERD" is similar to "My friends call me NERD"???? ... Because according to them I study hard unlike them

Branded means marked, or labelled. When cattle are branded a mark is burned onto them, and commercially a brand is a recognisable name or logo.
