Sunglasses, They Make You Look Great!

Whilst browsing I came across some really terrible figures when it came to children wearing glasses. Many of them do not understand why they are being picked on and so many of them also want to not use their glasses anymore simply because they are  being bullied, but why is this?

It would be wrong of me to say that every single glasses wearer is smart as this is not true but the smart ones are the ones bullies often target. This is on the whole anyway. Many children feel threatened by the clever students which is of course why they attempt to bully them in the first place. The reason that so many children find it hard to fight back is because the bully pushes at the confidence level.

Important figures

• 20% if children have seen classmates actually skip one or more day of school because of bullying they received when it came to glasses.
• 1/4 of all children are upset about their glasses because they have to wear them to school
• 50% of children do not wear their glasses when they should be
• Once again half of the children that wear glasses are called names.

It is figures like this that make you realise just how big the problems are. If your child is being bullied because of their glasses you should first ask them to tell the bullies to stop it. If this isnt working the next step is to ask your child to stand up for themselves. The bullies are not clever, play on this to win. If none of this is working for you then make sure you go into the school and speak to the head, this will certainly make a difference.

So when you think glasses don’t always think cool police glasses and aviator glasses, think about the normal people that wear cheap glasses.
