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.

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.
