It's not exactly intelligence, people, especially children, dislike and distrust anyone who is different. At the same time, there were a number of people I remember in school who were very smart (1% or higher) who made friends and got along really well for the most part. Usually, they found a club or something and just kept the same set of friends through high school. It's people who are intelligent but have a troubled home life, or are also different in other ways that end up having a very lonely time compared to more average students.
