Correct, although I would say that all children are bullied at some point (ie one step further). So I feel my parent was saying that this is something particular to high IQ children
At the time I did not really think of it that way because I was in my own head alot and focused in class but in retrospect I would say yeh the way I was treated definitely qualifies as bullying and I think if I participated in mean behavior towards other outcasts and gossiped with the girls I would have been treated better or had a better chance of fitting in.
