Q: Hi Ayumi. I probably have to start wearing glasses soon and I'm afraid I'll look really nerdy and everyone will laugh at me. How can I avoid it and if they do laugh, how do I stop them? Thanks a lot!
A: Hi there and thanks for the question! I'd say that the best thing to do is to get your optician's advice and ask what kind of frames would suit your face shape (for example, geometric frames tend to suit round faces while curved frames look best on square faces). I never asked for advice from my optician, so it took a few years before I actually found a pair that suited me - try and avoid this or one day you'll look back on old photos and get all embarrassed! If you choose a frame you really like and suit you, you'll find that they soon become a part of you and people won't notice them anymore, let alone laugh. If you find that you hate wearing glasses, even after a few months, you could consider trying contact lenses, but these are more expensive so you might want to discuss this one with your parents first. Another thing I want to say is that you're not the only person who gets worried about these things - I was in exactly the same position when I started wearing glasses as I was the same age too. I was so worried that I'd get bullied for "looking like a nerd", but guess what? I never did; in fact, people complimented me and it made me so much more confident. The main thing to remember is that so many people wear glasses, and it really doesn't matter - I'm sure you'll still look gorgeous! Ayumi
