Why Do Children Pick On Other Kids That Wear Glasses?

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

When it comes to children wearing glasses there are some real shockers out there, trust me. 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 on the whole anyway. 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. Many fo the children wearing glasses have had their confidence slowly pushed away so they find it hard to fight back.

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
  • 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. The next step is to ask your child to make a name for themselves. useing the fact that bullies are often not clever is a great idea. 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.
