‘First time wearing glasses to school’ by Anonymous, Soham Village College

Dear diary,

Today was my first day at school with these horrible glasses. It’s like social suicide. I’ve never been so embarrassed at school; as I walked down the hall people stared and laughed at me. They laughed at me. How could the people I see and talk to everyday do that to me? It was ridiculous. I wanted to cry and cry until I eventually disappeared. It was beyond embarrassing , it was humiliating.

In first period, a few people asked me why I got them and laughed looking at their friends beside them. All of my friends told me they liked it but you could tell they were just saying it trying to help. I hate this school. I hate the people I have to surround myself with everyday all day.

By second period, I took them off. Problem solved.
