“You need glasses” is the dreaded line that has totally changed the childhoods of many a person.
Okay, yes, you can see clearly for possibly the first time in your life, and that’s great. And in theory glasses can be stylish and make you look sophisticated and smart.
But Christ alive, wearing glasses can be a pain in the arse.
The latest entry in the #GrowingUp… series of hashtags on Twitter is #GrowingUpWithGlasses, and it nails all the struggles that spectacles-wearers have endured for their entire lives.
