By the time 8th grade rolled around I could no longer see the blackboard if I sat in the front row at school, so I bit the bullet.

I always felt like the odd duck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-glasses#post-554460 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:26:08 +0000 MrsH 554460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-glasses#post-552663 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:37:47 +0000 pelikila 552663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 I believe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-glasses#post-552662 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:36:43 +0000 lioneyes 552662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sixth grade, to see the board. then i got hit in the face with a bright orange lacrosse ball in seventh because i didn't see it coming, and switched to contacts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-glasses#post-552631 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:21:47 +0000 Sweet T 552631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine the summer before my Junior year of high school.

I also got braces at the same time, and I was really short and had mousy hair. I was reaaaaaaal cool. Butterfly clips were really cool back then, and I loved wearing lots of them. My mom said I had to remove one thing, and unfortunately I couldn't lose the glasses or braces, so my butterfly clips had to go!</p> <p>Luckily, I got contacts in 8th grade and I got my braces off freshman year of high school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-glasses#post-552538 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:49:30 +0000 Alivoo01 552538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was in Kindergarten. =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-glasses#post-552529 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:45:44 +0000 sweetooth 552529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 3 years old!
