I am curious about what happens to most people whom were outcasts/pariahs amongst their peers when they were younger. You know the type..the one who eats alone in the cafeteria, last picked for teams in gym class, snubbed, mocked, and (in middle school and/or high school)had trouble getting dates. Did most of these outcasts also feel outcasted/belittled by their family?(not necessarily an abusive or neglecting family situation...perhaps the kid was made fun of by younger siblings or something like that) Do most of these outcasts later blend in with society, or do they stay outcasts? Are they more prone to get into trouble(legal, drugs, etc) later in life, or less? Do they generally turn out more succesful($ and career-wise) than their peers, or less? Also, what effects does being an outcast have on their social skills & personas later on in life
It'd be especially helpful if former childhood/adolescent outcasts, or people in the psychology field, would contribute an answer to this
