Being intelligent isn't a detriment, because the ones upset by or threatened by intelligence are balanced out by the ones who are more interested because of it.
Oftentimes the most academically gifted are that way because they have combined natural intelligence with study time. When you have focused on grades, you lose time for things like social networking and learning social interaction skills. Those lack of skills lead you to make certain decisions about how you lead your life, and it becomes a self-fufilling prophecy.
