Children who limit achievement so they can fit in with peers or underachievers. (Thus guaranteeing underachievement for life.)
Children who don't want to be ostracized in school by underachievers develop "success neurosis".

When T.J. went to high school his friends made fun of him for making the honor roll. His tenth grade year he developed success neurosis and his friends still made fun of him.
