short-sightedness is also caused by environmental factors too not just genetic

Thank you
Then that means the environmental factors probably affected me when I was a kid

I have a question though
My parents don't have any eye defects... Even my grandparents didn't have any before they passed away

How I come I am short sighted?

Anybody

I think I was born with Short sightedness.. My parents noticed this when I was probably two or three years old... Since then I've been stuck with glasses... Mehn.. It is not a easy something.... I was called "Awolowo, Oju igo” in high school cuz the lens of the glass is thick.

I don't rely on them again now.. I use it when I wanna operate my computer and when I wanna watch movies... But it's affecting me like seriously.. Sometimes, I would pass beside someone and I won't recognise them..Some would think I'm a snub. But I'm not!
Whenever I wanna play soccer with my friends... They usually call me "Edgar Davids”... Sometimes I squeeze my face just to see clearly.

But I get the chics flocking around me tho .. I'm handsome now ...lol...Ladies tend to notice me more without my glasses
It's actually good to know there are people on here like me..

You need to see how close my phone is to my eyes now.

OP. It is "why onions makes you cry"

Onions don't make you cry?

The mere thought of chopping onions can literally make some people cry
Have you ever wondered why Onions bring tears to our eyes when we cut them... Here is why.

What do onions contain
Onions contain amino acid sulfoxides that form sulfenic acids in the onion cells. Both the enzymes and the sulfenic acids are kept separately in the cells. When you cut the onion, the otherwise separate enzymes start mixing and produce propanethiol S-oxide, which is a volatile sulphur compound that starts wafting towards your eyes.
The gas that is emitted reacts with the water of your eyes and forms sulphuric acid.
The sulphuric acid thus produced causes burning sensation in your eyes and this in turn leads to the tear glands secreting tears. Thus you end up with watery eyes every time you cut onions at
home.
It is the sulphur compound in the onions that also
leave a typical odour of onions on your hands and
utensils even after washing.

Tips to avoid the tears
* Make sure that you keep your fans off while cutting onions. If it is running, the air is on constant circulation, which will lead to the spread of gas and increase the burning sensation in your eyes.
* Refrigerate the onion before cutting. By refrigerating, you freeze the enzymes from mixing with the sulfenic acids and the production of propanethiol S-oxide is stopped. As a result,
sulphuric acid is not formed when you chop the onions. Wear safety goggles while chopping onions. It is also a good idea to keep away the gas from reaching your eyes.
* Cooking the onion inactivates the enzyme. So cook the onion after you de-skin and before letting the knife touch the onion. Soak onions in water before cutting. Water absorbs the gas and you can avoid the tears.
* Lighting a candle or a lamp near the chopping board is another effective way to avoid the tears. When a candle is lit near the chopping board the gas that is emitted from the onions get drawn towards the flame of the Burning candle or lamp and it does not reach your eyes
* Avoid cutting the onion till the root. This will prevent the mixing of enzymes with the sulfuric acids and you can spare your eyes of the Burning sensation and tears.

The man is not far from the truth
Nobody is doing anything
Even all these protesters with the hash tag
None has volunteered himself/herself to go to wherever the girls are being kept and find the missing girls.

Even The general has told us not to expect miracles during his tenure
