Yeah no she was definitely an outcast... her mom got her a perm which made her look different, and her hair was naturally light so her mom would color it dark and it ended up looking off. The neighbors discouraged their kids from hanging out with her. It wasn't "bullying" in the sense that her peers were outright cruel to her, but she absolutely felt singled out as different and unwanted. And yes, teachers and authority figures would continuously tell her that she wasn't capable of doing well, which is why Max made such a difference in her life, cuz he said she could write well.
