High school, or middle school is not materially different than the rest of the world.

The idea of "The adult version of high school" for situations that involve bullies, ingroup/outgroup and pettiness etc... is silly because it assumes that those things are only relegated to children.

Case in point: The G20 in Australia[1]. All the cool kids sit with Obama, Putin ate lunch alone and was on the outside of the class photo. If the highest level of political diplomacy is also "the adult version of high school"...well then I guess the whole thing is just high school.
