Color Contacts?, parents won't allow it Options

[iExquisite]

Hey guys,
well i am 15 && i am in a bit of a situation
i currently wear glasses and i extremely want colored contacts
but the thing is my mother won't allow it
she said contacts are for people who can't really see well or can't see at all
if something is far away i can't see it especially in class, if i sit in the back
i won't see anything on the board, it it will be all blurry- so i usually put on my glasses

but i really want colored contacts- to enhance my look
my eye color is black

any ideas how i can convince my mother?
any replies will be very appreciated!

Ha. As a mother, I can only advise you to come up with rational and practical reasonings/justifications for wearing contacts. Honestly, you're not going to be able to use that type of reasoning for colored contacts. Sorry, but unless my son was needing to go incognito, he wouldn't be able to convince me to buy him colored contacts.

Standard contacts, I can understand, especially if you are in extracurricular activities such as drama (stage work), sports, etc.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I ask because since you want an aesthetic component to corrective lenses, you might be able to convince them to allow such an enhancement if you are hitting some type of milestone (turning 16, getting good grades, graduating... things like that). That way you can attempt to convince them using the "I've worked hard and this would really boost my confidence" maneuver.
