Glasses Dorky or Popular?

Glasses can be a positive thing.

If you get the right frames, you will look no different than before you had them.

The glasses I purchased got me many compliments.

You need to get glasses and wear them. You need to be able to see what you are doing. Who cares what everyone else thinks? Sure, kids are cruel, but you are not going to be a kid all your life, are you? No. Get the glasses so you can see the blackboard and make better grades and be better than the other kids. You are the one who will suffer if you can't see properly, not them.

If you need glasses there is not a choice, you wear them.

The cruel kids may pick on you, but if they do they would anyway, who cares,

Hi, BrainyDiva11!

Some styles of glasses can be really cool!

When you discuss with an optician concerning the choice of style and frame, I'm sure that the optician will be able to advise you as to what's really the "in" style that people might be wearing these days.

Besides that, I'm sure that you won't be the only person your age in middle school who wears glasses. So, you won't be alone.

Thanks!

Thanks that really helps and you are right I would be alone but what frames do you suggest if I do need glasses?

We really cannot suggest what frames you need. Frames depend mostly on the shape of your face. Other factors are your skin tone as well.

The optician at the eye doctor's is the best one to advise you on what frames fit you best.

Have the people there help you. So much depends on the shape of your face, size, and even skin color to find one that matches you best. In the end it is the pair you think looks best

BrainyDiva - I have been wearing glasses since I was in 8th grade. What part of my post to you do you find judgmental? You didn't state what your grades were in your original post. I was giving you encouragement to be able to see properly. I ended up not being able to see the blackboard in class even though I joined MENSA at age 16 with an IQ of 162. I always got A's in all my classes.

You CAN get contacts you know. You don't just have to get glasses. So get over the part where you have a hard time with what frames to get. Don't get any frames. That should solve your problem. If you choose not to get glasses or contacts you will have a hard time getting a driver's license and passing the eye test.

Glasses Rock!
I got them and I'm in high school and everyone knows me as the latina with curly hair and glasses. You should Pick out a style that fits you, not ones that everyone wheres, for example. Those D&G glasses, everyone in NYC has them but I choose ones imported from Japan. It works for me, highlights my eyes and fits my face. Look for glasses that make your assests stand out.Good LuCk
