Glasses are such a big fashion accessory nowadays that people choose to wear them even if they don’t need to. That aside I have many friends as do my teens who like your daughter have to wear them and it is just part of them. No-one thinks twice about it. She looks beautiful in them and she should flaunt them. Thanks for linking with us again. #TweensTeensBeyond

Oh that’s awful of people. Yes, I’d be annoyed. I wonder if they even realise what they could be doing to a young person’s confidence by asking? #tweensteensbeyond

oh that is bad, that would be the same as editing out someones wheel chair. I know a lot of friends when I take their photo say ‘let me take my glasses off first’ i hate that, no you wear glasses, that what’s you look like #tweensteensbeyond

I have taken so many pictures of kids in glasses I cannot imagine ever asking any of them to take them off! If she’d wanted to take them off then she would have done so, so why point it out!? I can totally understand why you feel annoyed because sometimes it only takes something very small like this to sow a seed of doubt in a young person’s mind. Thanks so much for sharing with us at #TweensTeensBeyond

I don’t even understand what these fools might be thinking. I’ve been wearing glasses since about 12 years old, and like you say, am glad that they’ve come a long way since then. I don’t know if my daughter will ever need them, but I’d have some words for anybody that made her feel self conscious if she does #TTB

I have worn glasses since I was 16. I have a mix of pic with and without my glasses though. I like having some without them on x

She looks great in her glasses. And they are part of her. I wear glasses too and I like them very much, partially because in my age they hide wrinkles a little bit;)

I don’t understand how some people think that you would want to be pictured without your glasses on if you wear them permanently? Our eldest wears glasses, and like most parents, we try to help him choose frames that complement his face and he actually looks really good in glasses.

As a long time glasses wearer I know exactly where you are coming from. Even done to having to take my glasses off for my driving licence and passport photos, which I quite frankly look ridiculous on.

OMG I wouldn’t even have thought about telling someone to take their glasses off for a photo. Especially now it’s seen as fashionable to wear glasses rather than something to be teased about like when I was younger. I hope she continues to love how she looks in them!
