And it is just this 5-6 year groups that has been studied here -- nothing about older children.

- gkya 10y agoI guess if they studied the 13-16 band they'd get positive results. Especially those who got special treatment as a child prodigy.
- tdb7893 10y agoIn my middle school and high school I don't remember the smart kids being bullied any more than anyone else so I would be interested in a study on that age group. This is purely anecdotal and sample size of one but my experience with a smart kid who got bullied he thought that people bullied him because he was smart but in reality he was condescending and followed too many rules.

- robbiep 10y agoBecause only 'high iq' children get bullied? Confirmation bias much?
- haser_au 10y agoAll children are susceptible to bullying when they don't fit in. This applies to children of all IQ levels. This study minimises this factor to reduce the impact on results.
- robbiep 10y agoCorrect, 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
- taurath 10y agoI honestly think it's more likely, given my own experience. I don't have any studies to back that up of course. But in the 90s computer/intellectual kids where I grew up were the most bullied relentlessly.
- usmeteora 10y agoyeh. I grew up a nerdy shy geek making straight A's in advanced classes tested with high IQ and went on to get a STEM Degreee, and I was a girl, so being that as a girl was a super outlier. I didnt wear abercrombie and fitch and I didn't understand why talking poorly of other girls made you cool. I was relentlessly bullied and just ignored in general by people who did not bully me. 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.
