Glasses & Contacts

Dear American Girl,

I’m 12 and I want to wear contacts instead of glasses,

but my parents keep saying, “Maybe next prescription.”

I’ve been waiting for two years!

Responsible Enough

Are your parents worried about your health and safety? Contact lenses

need to be cleaned and stored carefully to prevent eye infections. Show

your parents that you’re up to that task by being responsible with other

hygiene habits. Brush and floss your teeth every day. Keep your hair combed.

Take showers without being reminded. If your parents still think you’re too

young, ask them to talk with your eye doctor to get all the facts. Then relax,

knowing that there’s nothing more you can do but that you’ll have those

contacts one day soon.
