IDK if your area is just really different than mine, but getting glasses at around age 9 in the mid-90s absolutely killed, permanently, whatever coolness I had, and with it, my self-confidence died that day too.

They were hideous frames, but honestly I don't think any frames would have been considered 'cool' where I was.

To this day I hate glasses. Since discovering how easy it is to wear contacts at 26, I only wear glasses between the bathroom and bed.
