Wearing glasses will never be fun, but you might as well start doing it now. No point in having daily headaches for the rest of the forseeable future. Plus it hampers your everyday life. You certainly won't be able to drive without your glasses.

Having bad vision sucks. Having it get worse each year is scary. Unfortunately, it probably won't level off until your late 20's. It bites, but that's the way it usually works.

People who have 20/20 vision do not appreciate how fortunate they are.
I'm worried about the driving. I take drivers ed in April and I probably wont pass.. I know they give a vision test (or whatever it is called), and I surely wont pass it if I haven't got my new glasses by then. We were just cut off of medicaid because the social worker found out that my dad works and that he gets paid under the table. So that was great timing. My mom has glasses that I could use but they're different because I can see close up and not far away, she's the opposite. My friend was talking about letting me borrow hers while I take drivers ed.

I just really regret having not worn the glasses when I first got them. If I had just wore them then eventually I wouldn't have needed them anymore.. If only I knew then what I know now.
