Die Four-Eyes, Die!

Glasses used to be used for medical reasons, not used as a "slick" style choice. People who wore glasses were sometimes ridiculed and made to feel less than those who weren't in need of glasses. Shit, even Pol Pot used to murder people specifically for wearing glasses! Now people with 20-20 vision go get glasses because they think they look hot in them. The fucking lenses not only are not prescription, they are nothing at all but a flat piece of non-magnifying plastic! When I was 7 years old I had the start of a life long issue with migraines begin. The doctor gave me an MRI to see if my brain was fine and it was, so he said I needed glasses. I was so terrified to wear them around my peers in school because of what I witnessed happen to the other glasses wearers, that I told my mom the glasses gave me migraines even worse than the migraines I had without glasses. I would rather suffer with extreme migraine pain then to wear glasses to school! For those of you who have had chronic migraines, you know this is serious business. I mean, the smell of a moth's fart could turn a slight migraine into a massive one in seconds, serious! And for a 7 year old to rather deal with that then just put on glasses should show how embarrassing it was to wear them back when I was a kid. So with that in mind, for kids to actively seek wearing glasses because girls think they look "hot" in them now. I will give that #1 in my examples of how geek became chic.
