Causes of Cataracts

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 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 based on the general figures. Many children feel threatened by the clever students which is of course why they attempt to bully them in the first place. 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.
• 25% of children that wear glasses said they are upset because they have to wear them to school
• Just over half of all children do not wear the glasses when they are meant to
• Once again half of the children that wear glasses are called names.

Some of these figures are crazy, they make you realise how big the problem is. 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. Most bullies are not smart at all, use this. If none of this is actually working then you need to go into the school or speak to the parents of the bully, this could really help.

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