I have braces and glasses and now that I'm in 8th grade I was wondering if I should try contacts or keep glasses. What do you think?

Well the glasses look a bit big on your face. You have a petite face so if you were to keep glasses, I'd get a small frame. But try contacts and see if you like them any better :)

It's up to you! I think you look gorgeous with your glasses, but if having contacts will make you feel more confident then go for it(:

I'm going into 8th grade and I have worn contacts since fourth grade.

pros -
easier for sports
once you get used to it it's not uncomfortable
less residue from glasses
convenience
personally I look better without
no worries of breaking glasses

cons -
hygiene reasons (that's why I use dailies)
could get lost in your eyes (low possibilities tho)
allergy
irritation
can't fall asleep in them
not for dry eyes
might get irritated with some makeup products

overall I think it's a great investment. I absolutely hate how I look in glasses so it's a self confidence boost for me! And I play volleyball and it lets me dive more freely without worrying about my glasses falling off and such.

I'd say go for it, but only get a small amount (a week maybe?) to test it out. Contacts irritate some people wayyy too much but for me they're a must have.

Oh and I have horrible acne and oily skin. So glasses actually keep the oil on my face (like where it touches your nose bridge?) and that's a problem so I like to go without glasses.

I think you should try contacts :) I'm also going into eighth grade but I got contacts last February. They're hard to put in and take out at first but you'll get used to it pretty quick I had no regrets switching to contacts

You look beautiful like that. However if contacts will make you feel more confident then go for it. By the way I wear braces and glasses and I am 27 (:
