I’m signing this because I wear glasses and am a specialist in my field (a nerd?) but I most certainly do not look like the emoji!!!

You are doing an AMAZING job!! You are so young, and yet a powerful advocate already. You should be very proud of yourself for creating the change you wish to see in the world.

Georgia Jarmolkiewicz (London, 2023-11-29)

I wear glasses and so does my boy. Removing the teeth and rebranding to genius, is genius! You make me proud to be part of the glasses wearing community! Go Teddy! A Prime Minister in the making, I'd vote for!

Pru Winters (PULBOROUGH, 2023-11-29)

Teddy is right, I agree we need a better emoji for glasses wearers.

Jenny Woodhams (Bury, 2023-11-29)

#103

I agree with Teddy! I wear glasses since I was 6, and they even make me look better, and by no means did my teeth grow.

Pablo Dopico (Berlin, 2023-11-29)

#105

I was bullied all through my Junior school.
This emoji needs to be changed.

Louise Fallon (London, 2023-11-29)

#106

If he feels it's offensove then it is offensive, and discriminative. That's what matters. When I was at his age, when kids got glasses they were called all sorts of horrible things. It should be changed. I fully support him.

Peter Visi (Oxford, 2023-11-29)

In unhappy with people being labelled

Richard Martin Ashley (Montrose , 2023-11-29)

I am signing because no one should be treated differently just because they wear glasses.

I'm signing because Teddy has a perfect right to be heard, and I much prefer his emoji!

WELL DONE TEDDY 😊

Young people starting to wear glasses need support not disrespect.

Peter Kearns (Farnborough , 2023-11-29)

Good luck with your petition Teddy! I saw you on the news and agree that people that wear glasses aren't nerds! Well done.

Liz Taylor (Portsmouth , 2023-11-29)

David Rea (Havant , 2023-11-29)

#133

I agree !

Jennifer West (Southsea, 2023-11-29)

Teddy is right. People who wear glasses shouldn’t be assumed to be nerds.

Julie Barnett (Henley on Thames, 2023-11-29)

I wear glasses & object to them being associated with the word Nerd!

Sue Wyatt (Southampton, 2023-11-29)

Protect the feelings of people with glasses!

Elspeth Brown (Winchester , 2023-11-29)

The current emoji is terrible. Please change it.

Roger Ward (Leeds, 2023-11-30)

I agree with Teddy! Remove the negative stereotypes and celebrate Genius and the wearing of glasses as a positive.

Anne Kerby (Bundaberg, 2023-11-30)

Nerd is offensive to people who wear glasses

Denise Stradling (Reading, 2023-11-30)

#166

Teddy is right.

Yasmin Limbert (WIRRAL, 2023-11-30)

I don’t like the use of the nerd emoji being connected with somebody wearing glasses

Harriet Potts (Manchester, 2023-11-30)

#169

I am a glasses wearer and I agree that the emoji is offensive and could have a negative impact on the emotional well being of young glasses wearers.

Theresa Smith (Hirsham, 2023-11-30)

#170

Teddy is correct. Glasses are cool not nerdy.

Russell Evans (Swindon, 2023-11-30)

#171

Phil Purcell (Kidderminster , 2023-11-30)

Why stigmatise nerds? Promote a passion for knowledge. The buck teeth (and ideally glasses - which are cool, definitely not nerdy) need to go.

Richard Ryan (Gosport, 2023-11-30)

#186

It's careless, casual bullying, not just of glasses wearers but also of those who have prominent teeth.

James Cubberley (Sheffield, 2023-11-30)

#187

I agree change should be made

Geraldine Marechal (Erith, 2023-11-30)

"nerd" emoji did offended me as well when I was in secondary school cause it was used to represent me in chat group 😂. It wasn't that bad but it helps people to develop stereotypes about academically smart people that wear glasses.
