I don't think that being smart intrinsically makes people hate you in school. There were plenty of people in my school who were smart(including me) that weren't considered nerds or bullied. In fact, the kids who were bullied for being "nerds" at my school weren't even smart. More likely, they either had awful social skills and dressed and acted weird. Or, they had some weird hobby like playing card games during lunch in highschool. And lets not forget, if you're a school with a bunch of smart kids, you can make friends with them, so nerds aren't smart people, they are really just socially handicapped people.
