The isolation in the children's play

When I was a kid, there was always a certain person or a certain group of people who was isolated by other children. They are always those who act differently with others (for example, too active or too quiet in class) or who barely speak with other children. Teachers always feel headache them because they’re always alone and unwilling to join other’s play. But actually it’s not their fault. People made fun of them. Whoever play with them or talk to them would be judged by others.

The harm the isolated child suffered is obvious. But actually, at the same time, this, to some extent, also made me keep feeling stressful during my whole school life before I graduated from middle school. Because certainly I don’t want to be the one who is isolated, so I barely did anything against the consensus even though sometimes I really didn’t likely to do as all others did. But I didn’t want to be isolated. I wanted always to be involved in all the games we might play later and all the discussions we might have in the future.
