This is not unusual here at all, I see it every day. And it is not always "because of the kids who don't fit in" but because the acceptance and integration of mildly unusual or peculiar phenomena is usually low/slow, here.

The situ does call for arranging some long term solution with sitting, though, for you guys. So you two could have a date, get out a bit, etc.
