I've had them since kindergarten.

I feel if you have to wear glasses, just keep them sane. I sometimes see people wearing glasses with thick frames, with bright colors, and other silly stuff that makes them stand out why more than they need to.

I think the things I don't like about them are the fact they fall off easily (especially during physical activity which is why I was always hesitant to give it my all in gym class), get broken easily, the lenses get smudged or if they get wet, they need to be wiped down, and if you lose them, they're expensive to replace. For me, disposable contacts are a godsend. They pulverize every one of those issues.
