The outcast are perceived as weak. If they were to change schools, they would also be
in the outcast position. Even
in a small group setting like a Sunday School among kids they didn't previously know, they are quickly outcast. Their social skills are weak, they make obvious blunders and they seem to not be able to absorb and copy the behavior of their peers. "Class clowns" teeter here, but often they have a well-developed sense of humor that carries them through.
