Search Results: ways to cheer him up

So there's this kid at my school that nobody likes. He's a smart guy ( great at math) but he's socially awkward. Kids at school always tell him he's weird, ugly and a few people told him he needs to kill himself or they wouldn't care if he ended up dead or stopped showing up to school. In fact this is what his old friends used to say behind his back. At the school he's been voted as the guy who will win the lottery and lose the ticket two times in a row, it's even in the yearbook. It's supposed to be a joke but it's quite weird that he was voted twice. There was another selection in the yearbook that said cutest couple that never was and a few people voted for me and him. We didn't get voted in the yearbook and he was so happy about it, than I realized why he was happy because people were making fun of us and didn't take us seriously. In fact one of the dudes in our class referred to us as thing one and thing two. :/

One time I told the teacher I'd be leaving early and the few boys in the classroom started cheering and one suggested that I should miss more days of school. Is this normal for high school and does stuff like this still happen after high school? When everyone turns into an adult, do most people still act this way?
