What happens to the people forcibly excluded and isolated in school in later life?

Hmm, I was also one of the outcasts in school. But I can only speak for myself, so don't take my answer to be the one that fits everyone, as every person deals with this kind of thing differently. I am personally doing very well for myself. I'm completely comfortable with who I am and I thank the troubles of high school for doing that. I had two choices in high school: either let the jerks get to me and be a depressed loser for the rest of my life, or I could tune out what they thought of me, find my strength and show them exactly what I could do. I chose the latter. I'm at peace with who I am and my decisions, I'm independent, and I'm typically very clear headed about life. I know what I want and I know how I am going to get it. I'm not sure whether that would have happened if I had not been forced to stand on my own in high school. Again, don't take my answer as the be all end all. This was just my personal experience.
