Bullying.

All around the world people are being bullied.
It's not nice and it's usually over petty things like:

• Weight and size
• Accents and pronunciations of difficult words in another language
• Fashion sense or clothing worn
• Sexual preferences
• Being smart or deemed not being smart at all
• Financial status
• Race

The list goes on as you know, but one new "trend" going on here in Finland is making fun of children for wearing REFLECTORS to school.

Finland gets really dark in the winter time - to the point that the sun doesn't come out until about 9-10 am (depends where you are located) and is gone between 2 and 4 pm. 

It is SUPER important to wear a reflector when outside because it's very hard for drivers to see you - let alone anyone else - bikers etc.

Perhaps it's because of the shape of them can be deemed "baby-ish" like shapes of rubber ducks or hearts or ghosts...but the point of them is to be seen so you don't get hit by a car, bus or anything else that can hurt you.

The police of Finland are noticing a growing trend with bullying about wearing reflectors in school and children are starting to not wear them and becoming higher risk of getting hit by cars.

Here's the article in Finnish.

Of ALL things to be made fun of...
