How to convince my mom to let me buy contacts?

Question

I'll be 16 in about two weeks. I would really like to get contacts. I have the money, but when I try talking to my mom about getting some she goes into some weird mood against me and is telling me about the worst possible things some people get from contacts and that they hurt to much.

Any ideas how I could convince her?

Answer 1

i have contacts and im only 14 :]

well wat i did is i pretended to cry and say the kids are making fun of me so she let me get them but i bought them with my money but they were like 300 dollars [wow] but only beacause i have reallly bad vison -4.5

but once and a while they do hurt REALLLYYY bad but usaly just take them out and put the liquid on them and their all better :]

im not trying too scare u but they do hurt sometimes

but they feel nice other times i can wear sunglasses and see perfectly. but idk just tell her that they dont du nuthin to ur eyes they havent done anything to me so far and ive had them since i was 12  tehy feel even better than glasses so idk give her a lot of information from the internet or sumthing like print out a page  of feedback of contacts [or w/e its called :] hope this helped

Answer 2

tell her that ur mature enough to get them and u'll b carefull with them!

Answer 3

Do you have glasses?

If you have glasses yeahh..it's time for contacts.

Just say that they are getting in the way.

When it rains, in sports, just- everything!

I mean contacts are not that expensive so money really shouldn't be a problem.

You can buy the package that comes with the eye exam.

Those should work.

good luck !

:]

Answer 4

just tell her your glasses keep getting in the way.

and that contacts would make you feel more confident or something... hahaha.

Answer 5

I got my contacts when i was 10. We had insurance so they were all free. Just ask your mom if you have the insurance and tell her that they are so much more comfortable physically and mentally.
