Of course that doesn't take into account that a lot of kids with physical/mental issues to start with ending up being less popular because of them, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Although there is definitely a legit point about stress. I swear my kid is gonna give himself an ulcer before he gets to second grade. :/

It seems especially skewed because they factored in a lot of self-inflicted issues and mental health issues. You mean kids who get made fun of relentlessly might wind up with depression and low self-esteem? Really? You don't say.

Or that bullied kids are likely to use drugs/alcohol and food as an escape/effort to fit in? Wow, where'd this guy get his sheepskin? He's brilliant!
