I can't speak for most people, but I absolutely could not learn how to put contacts in. And my mother trains people to wear them for a living; I am literally the only person she hasn't been able to get in contacts. I'm going to assume that most people do get the hang of it, I'm just overly sensitive to things near my eye. [I can't even take showers, I bathe instead because I can't have anything near my eyes. I'm sensitive and I hate it lmao PUTTING ON EYE MAKEUP FOR COSTUMES IS MY WORST NIGHTMARE and doctors have had to hold me down to put drops in my eyes]

I remember when I was a kid, all the students would always make fun of the kids wearing glasses calling them, "four-eyes" as well as all the fat kids. Not to mention the stereotype of being a nerd if you wear those point-dexter glasses.

I haven't been a kid in a long time, so I have no idea if its still like that.

I was never made fun of for wearing glasses as a kid, and mine were just about as nerdy as they came. Big round frames, thick lenses. Nobody I knew that wore them really got made fun of either.
