Don't know the series and not from the US myself but, as someone who's pretty much standard white girl (tm) on the outside but actually hella neuroatypical/autistic coming from a similarly NA family (which was rather well-off but originally poor and got their money through hard work and/or luck thus "thrifty" and I earned a scholarship in an elite hs,) this experience was literally all of my school life, to the point of considering dropping out multiple times despite doing well academically and loving research. Though I was in the "top 3 students" every time I was also with the "losers gang" every time. By always I mean from grade 1 to my college-level degrees it happened every single time; we just clicked. When "popular kids" tried to approach me it always felt like they spoke alien language. Nowadays (I mask better and) we're Facebook friends and I'm privileged by my average looks enough that we forgot it all but really? If I try to talk to them for over 10 minutes, surely I'll leave a "bad impression" somehow.

Having an infamous family is more than enough, in my experience, to be bullied in most school circles. Just like being poor or black or "ugly". And that's why we should celebrate being done with school instead of trying to reproduce that experience everywhere like some folks seem to try to do.

Yeah, I agree.
I live in a small town, but from how I figure it, most cliques are created at a very young age, well off parents who are familiar with one another will generally put their children together as they socialize themselves. Groups will form between those who have children of the same age so that they can play together. These parental supported relationships generally continue towards school, and children are definitely more open to others at such a young age they still know enough about their parents expectations to try and please them. The clique style groups start to form then, and while they might shift and mingle, they become rather noticeable around fourth grade I would say.
My point I guess, before I go on a total tangent, is that you're absolutely right that an issue in the family could easily cause any one person to be outcasted. It can be so easy as a child noticing their parent at a very young age looking or saying something uncouth about a certain family.

Same here, my hometown isn't big and that's how it happened here as well. In the end, my best friends were often kids whose parents had to move a lot and/or were similarly socially outcast for one reason or the other. Not to say looks never help (particularly after puberty, well unless you're a "frigid woman" like me in which case it may backfire and worsen the bullying) but there's so, so much more to social ostracizing.
