My 17-year-old daughter practically refuses to wear her glasses in public. She is nearsighted and needs them.
Last year, she asked if she could get contacts and I said no. She hounded me about it for months.
Six months ago, she stopped wearing her glasses in public. She has had several accidents as a result of this, including one at a family night at the movies for her younger brother's birthday, and she embarrassed us all.
She turns 18 in three weeks and is adamant that she is getting them on her 18th birthday. Since she no longer needs my consent at that point, I can't stop her, and she absolutely refuses to listen to reason. She has allowed a couple of jerks in high school, who used to make fun of her, to make her completely vain about her appearance.
How can I convince her not to be so vain? I have three weeks.
