Teddy, I've got some news. Nerds run the world. Embrace your inner nerd. Let your geek flag fly!
Sorry Teddy, you’re gonna have to learn that everything is not about you
I hate myself for needing to point out the difference between "everything is not about you" and "not everything is about you." But here we are.
What a nerd.
I think you’d have better luck just asking them to buy you new frames, Teddy.
I got a feeling the mom is the one doing this just using little Jimmy for attention.
This reminds of a couple people I know who don’t think The Big Band Theory is funny. You might mistake as characters from the show. 🤓
this is why we need bullies
God, fucking Reddit, hoping kids get physically and mentally abused
we are so doomed
Fuck his parents for letting him do this. He's just a kid but the parents should know better.
When I was a kid I would have said that Apple made two emoji based on me. This one and the egg plant.
It is indeed called "nerd face" for the unicode corsortium:

Apple isn't the only one with the teeth in front:
I personally think it’s great that he learns a lesson like this at his age rather than in 20 years like some folks.
I think it's OK if Apple buys him a new pair of glasses, that look somewhat different.
“They’re making people think we’re nerds and it’s absolutely horrible,” Teddy said to the BBC about the glasses emoji.
The irony is that only a fucking nerd would care about this.
Sorry, Teddy. If the shoe fits, etc.
“Teddy was inspired to start his petition by one of his teachers, Lisa.”
Oh, so Lisa HATES this little dweeb and knew exactly what would happen.
The kid is just confused. He's 10. Give him a break on this. He's thinking the emoji that best represents him, the only one with glasses, shouldn't be an image he thinks is negative. However, the yellow face emoji set isn't supposed to represent identities as opposed to emotion. The Unicode Nerd Face is supposed to be nerdy. Making a yellow face emoji with glasses wouldn't express any emotion.
There are person emojis but those tend to be roles, expressions, activities or really generic. I suppose these could be opened to more identities to include glasses, punk, goth, pierced, scared, dimples, etc... but Apple already addressed this with Memojis.
I am surprised he isn't upset that people with glasses also are bald and have bright yellow skin.
I find some of the negative comments targeted at the kid really concerning. We all said stupid shit at that age. The only difference is that now kids have access to social media at really early ages.
