I've notices that there are stereotypes attached, but not blatant bullying, or anything near that. Most of the high school students that I know are respectful and open, so peer pressure doesn't seem to be a factor. However, social standing is possibly a factor - the smarter people in the high school are supportive of Robotics, while the not so smart people generally believe that there's no way for them to contribute. However, I don't know the pressures placed on the not-so-smart people (relatively speaking) who want to join Robotics by their not-so-smart peers. My general feeling is that most of them don't want to do Robotics in the first place.
