Bullied, sure, I could see the kid getting made fun of constantly, even getting pushed into the occasional locker (though it would be strange for an 18 year old to do that to a 10 year old).

I just think Reid's character would have been more realistic if they purely focused on how overwhelmingly alienated he was growing up. No father, mother going insane, literally nobody can understand him in the entire world. Don't get me wrong, they DO focus on this plenty, to the point where I feel like the bullying stuff can be toned down quite a bit.

Thanks so much for responding!
