That's bullshit...as a bullied child i've spent a lot of time thinking about what was wrong with my interests.

For example, i never cared much about cool clothes and fashion stuffs in general, so i was considered to be "strange" because i was not uniforming my dressing style to the others.

Another example, i was that nerdy child very interested in space related science stuffs, and in general very curious about science and technology, but that sounded strange because i was not spending my whole days talking about gossip or watching cartoons.

Third, and for now the last example, i spent so much time outside exploring my city's surroundings riding my bike with a friend, but we both were "strange" because we never visited a disco.

Now...if this experience had certainly teached me in the long run that people can be bad, it also damaged my original self, killing all my interests for a quite long time, making me uniform to others for years to not feel different.

I fought back at a certain point, but it's something that wastes energy and time, the most scarce resources in life, even more than bitcoins...

Plus, to keep "mental illness" away from society a more effective way is to spread knowledge to everyone, and certainly not letting kids bully other kids.
