Bullying Children With Glasses Is Wrong
I have recently come across some pretty shocking figures when it comes to how children that wear glasses feel. There are so many children that find it hard to see why they are being picked on for this reason and do not wish to wear their glasses because they feel uncomfortable?
It is very stereotypical to say that a person wearing glasses is automatically clever, this is not true by any means but it seems that the people the bullies target are the clever, glasses wearers. This is based on the general figures. The reason that kids do this is because they know the geekier kids are a lot cleverer than them and they also know they are more superior than them. 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
- Just over half of all children do not wear the glasses when they are meant to
- 50% of children that wear glasses are called names.
It is figures like this that make you realise just how big the problems are. The first step to take against bullying is to ask the bullies to stop doing it, this is a great because you are encouraging your children to do things for themselves. If this doesn’t work tell them to stand up for themselves. The bullies are not clever, play on this to win. Failing all of this just go into the school and make a note of speaking to the head about it as this will get results.
So when you think glasses don’t always think cool police glasses and aviator glasses, think about the normal people that wear cheap glasses.
