Precisely. It makes it harder on the children, because kids can be cruel. Especially when they are not taught to recognize the differences of others as just that: differences.

This is a very good and valid point. Our peers sometimes notice things quicker in situations such as this, than a teacher does.

I think you make a very good point, i think that some how our innate ability to read through others weakness, and it sets those children who might have underlying schizophrenia disorder that has not been diagnosed as of that age but other children sense that difference and tease and torture these poor children already confused about their differences.

Could It possibly be that the reason the bullying takes place and continues is because the weakness eg propensity toward schizophrenia is recognized early on by peer group.
Would need a further blind with identical twins one bullied the other not to validate
