When your mom got contacts they were pretty new and just came out but now they're amazing. I wear contacts everyday and they've never bothered me. I got contacts when my eye sight got so bad that I couldn't play sports without my glasses on (I hated those bands they had for athletes with glasses). I actually see better with my contacts in (no fuzzy edges) and I'm way less self conscious. I've had contacts since 8th grade and I'm a junior in college now but I still remember always feeling self conscious and dorky with glasses, especially because none of my friends needed them.
Go do some research and explain to your parents that contacts really are safe and comfortable, if they weren't then people wouldn't wear them. And if you do play a lot of sports you'll feel way better when you're playing, especially if you're playing contact sports, because you'll be able to focus more on the game and less about your glasses falling off and breaking.

well contacts are much more advanced now compared to when your mom was younger and will not irritate you (are made of a thin flexible plastic now), I have had contacts since 8th grade and they don't bother me at all and I have never had an eye infection. oh and one of my ex boyfriends thought glasses were sexy because he had a librarian fetish so if you work your glasses right they could help your game. just tell your mom if the contacts bother you will go back to glasses.
hey glasses are cool these days! If you want contacts then just keep breaking your glasses.
