Kids with ADHD are not just more likely to struggle academically. They are more visible, more misunderstood, and often less liked by peers and teachers.
In this Research Recap, Skye and Will unpack a study on ADHD, social status, and bullying, and talk honestly about what it felt like to stand out in school for reasons you did not choose.
This is not a conversation about extreme bullying or obvious cruelty. It is about the quieter experience many ADHD kids grow up with. Being noticeable. Being different. Being picked last, corrected more often, or feeling out of sync with everyone else.
If school felt harder than it should have, even when you could not explain why, this episode will likely hit close to home.
What we cover:
- Why kids with ADHD are more visible in the classroom, but not for positive reasons
- How peer likability and teacher relationships shape vulnerability over time
- The difference between obvious bullying and subtle social exclusion
- Why being “the noticeable kid” can quietly rewire how school feels emotionally
- What this research helps explain for adults still unpacking their school experience
If you want a copy of the paper we discuss, just ask us and we will send it to you.
