I wear glasses to read an this started when I was 14. And the first time I pulled them out was in Welsh class and we were reading this book and I wasn't expecting the uproar it caused. People were shocked and were staring at me for ages. Thanfully I only have to wear them to read because people staring at me made me feel so uncomfortable and that was just in class. I hate to imagine what it would be like wearing them full time.

Thankfully I never got called 4 eyes and it's never really caused an issue. It was just the staring at first which was unbarable.

I know that it is considered a taboo and people do judge people differently due to wearing Glasses.

In School, some other pupils will always look for something to use, to cause some kind of ribbing/bullying

Glasses is definately one of them and I remember that.

But when you are older and many people don't use that Four-Eyes word anymore, they may still have that phobia in their minds.

Thanks Nick for another eye-opening thread.
