There are plenty of public school kids who are weird too though. The problem is, they have to spend the whole day surrounded by bullies who like to target them. They don't learn to interact with people when they spend their days in fear, when they're anxious of every movement or word lest they make a "mistake" and get targeted again. Even trying to fit in and do what the cool people are doing will earn them special contempt. For 12 years, if they tried to speak to the wrong person, or sat too near someone, they were verbally abused and humiliated. You never know what the trigger is going to be, and what will set the entire class against you again. That fear and anxiety doesn't just go away when they're finally released from school. How can they know how to talk to people?
