Question Posted Friday March 28 2008, 12:39 pm

i need to know how to convince my mom to get me contacts early.
she said i could have them if i wore my glasses consecutively for a year, which is going to be in november. but i just hate glasses, and they limit me to what i can do. i cant join sports teams at school because of my glasses, and they just make me feel really self conscious and i hate them. so my question is, how do i convince her to let me get them before summer instead of in november? thanksss.

tell her what you just told us. "but i just hate glasses, and they limit me to what i can do. i cant join sports teams at school because of my glasses, and they just make me feel really self conscious and i hate them." say that exact thing. and end with.. do you really want me feeling bad about myself? i should really be able to do the things i want. i really love sports (even if you dont) and i should be able to do what i love. i only live once. basically just make her feel really bad. it might help to cry a little too if you can manage it =)

like the other person said wait a while and wear them and dont complain because it will show your parents you are more responcible. i think getting them before school would be a better option because if you explain to your parents about how they make you feel and act responcible and mature first they will want to help you because your acting mature and second its more reasonable. getting them before the start of next year is a great way to start a new school yr. tell them how you feel in them and why you want them but learn to appreciate yourself and your beauty no matter what your in or how you look on the outside. build your self confidence! contacts wont give you what your looking for unless you feel confident in yourself. but i also understand thinking they make you look prettier and how glasses take away from your beauty. i've had glasses since like 2nd grade and contacts since 7th.

also though you can play sports because they have these bands that you attach to your glasses and it secures them so if you really want to do a sport look into those.

i hope i helped and if you have more questions let me know :)

ok, so what I would do is just wait a while. i had glasses and i really wanted contacts, but the more i asked for them the more my parents said no. i think that you just have to wait awile and let everything cool off. you can maybe even so some research. then when you have some positive information about contacts, sit your mom down and tell her about it. just don't complain. calmly explain her why you want contacts so bad, the reasons why, like how you can't play sports and they make you feel self-conscious. she'll see how responsible you are, and (hopefully) let you get contacts early!!


Hope this helps ya =]
