I attended a school for gifted children (e.g. most of your school has at least IQ 130), it was the best experience - not being bullied for being curious - it's such a simple thing and helped me a lot.

Even today, I am occasionally bullied for being engaged in a topic, and even as an adult I hate it - but I learned to live with.

I think there is a hard tendency towards trying to shrink whatever you are not able to understand - and correspondingly shrink your vis-a-vis, if they appear smarter than you.
