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

  I 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.

    yeh. 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.
