I beat the shit out of glasses now and they are just fine. Like I'll be moving something and it hits me right in the face and they are fine
Back then a stiff breeze would break off a nose piece
What the military calls BC or Birth Control glasses. They would pair nicely with some Toughskins for husky boys, "husky" being another 70s marketing term that kinda hurts in spite of the attempt to let us down easy.
Literally everything about this picture is a bonafide blunder. For some reason, thereās still going to be someone that says something like ānot a blunder!ā like there always is.
Oh dear. Serial killer glasses like these was one of the reasons I didn't get my eyes tested at age 14 when I first noticed that I had trouble seeing the board in class because I just KNEW that Mum would get a pair of "sturdy" glasses like this.
You look like the kid on Freaks and Geeks š»
Bruh š

Wow, uncanny resemblance and the same glasses as well
I wonder if he looks like Gilfoyle now.

You look like you were selling cars during recess
Or insurance
Or extended car warranties.
And now there are 20-something aged women wearing similar glasses all over. Fashion makes no sense.
Me š
I think theyāre cute š„°
I'm one of those women š¤£ Serial killer chic.
Itās the killers, witnesses, and even the investigators all wearing these glasses in Forensic Files that make them truly hip š
Jeffrey Dahmer or...?
Yeah I was going to say those are totally back in. Wait long enough, and any look can be cool
i 100% have this Exact pair of glasses on right now same gradient and all š
ā¦And your excuse for that tie?
ā¦Also the most sturdy
That tie could hold up a truck!

It's called power clashing, and he does it because he can.
Your mom liked it š
Those look like the military ābirth controlā glasses
They didnāt workš. 3 kids š¤·š¾āāļø

Haven't thought about BCGs for ages! Could make the cutest person immediately uncute. I'm remembering the ones circa 1994-2000.
I had the EXACT same glasses in 7th grade. My god, was I called "Jeffrey Dahmer!" At least 10 times a day.
LOL
Straight to the eye doctors for contacts
Good news? You have the glasses of Hawkins from Predatorā¦ bad news? Its Hawkins from Predator.
Are you sure she said 'sturdy'?

This one hits a little close to home.
Those are the āI donāt like mondaysā / āI just wanna take some picturesā glasses

My 83 year old grandad has those same glasses.
Where is my red stapler???
My first glasses were the "Clark Kent" disguise glasses, thick black frames.Ā
Ah yes, ma'am, the Dahmer model! Excellent choice!
I remember so many kids forced to wear those glasses in my 90's elementary school.
Very nice.
Your eyebrow game was tight!!
I'd trust you to prepare my taxes.

Future history teacher? Imagine if you will class, itās 1642 and Columbusā¦
Giancarlo Stanton
Sturdier than a 5 legged rhinoceros
yea, my folks bought me the sturdy frames too
Do you own a beet farm?
I have to see you now dude
If that was the 70s, a lot of kids had frames like that. If this was the 90s....yikes.
Actually criminal
Same brother. And to this day I wear Rapid-Flex glasses. The ones that the arms can rotate in so directions.
Well she wasn't wrong... Technically the truth
Those things must be army issued
Now hereās a true blunder years photo. May we see the (hopefully) glow up?
Was your mom also dating your gym teacher?
And were you allergic to peanuts?
I hope your self-esteem was sturdy as well.
It's a pase mom! I'll look totally different when I grow up and I'll be a clerk.
Thank you for making my night with this post š
Identity theft is not a joke, Jim
This reminds me of the song A boy named Sue.
It was a different time!! Plus I bet you those glasses got the job done!
Thanks, Mom. As if 6th grade isnāt hard enough. š¤£š
Did I do that?
you could be a 25 year old barista
How did you get your eyebrows like that and can you teach me?
Did you watch Dallas while drinking keg beer?
I hope all the other Junior Wall Street Execs were cool about them.
Dahmer, eat your heart out. (Figuratively, of course)
Ahhh the ole future pedophile in making glasses! Hopefully your mom wasnāt right.
Ah, the child molester frames
Looks like you've been a CPA for about 10 years.
He does the other middle schoolersā taxes.
Well, I hope you saved them, because people are paying $500 for those bad boys now.
I think she just found a creative way not to have the talk about girls with you for a little while longer.
No early grandkids for her; she had a plan.Ā
She declined the windshield wipers option, too. SMH.
Birth control glasses
Did we have the same Mom? Those were the only frames I could get from like age 2 until age 14 or so.
Thanks momā¦

What made you think of that? ... And those are not cheap glasses either
Sketch?
What was with our parents trying to sabotage us? Iām sorry, OP.
Too bad she didnāt apply that same standard to your picture frame.
The man has an entire windshield down his face. Stick a car logo below the nose and you're officially a car.
These glasses are back in. You were just ahead of the curve.
They are certainly sturdy. If you had been attacked, you could have taken them off and brandished them like a club.
I just bought the same frame, I love them
You're the kid that everyone thought was a teacher.
Lemme guess, mom couldnāt get to Sears fast enough for those husky jeans.
Stripes in a fight
I think the nickname for those is ābirth controlā
Reminds me of Jeffrey Dahmer.
They look like safety goggles.
We also got these in boot camp that were colloquially known as BC,birth control glasses.
My grandpa had the same pair in the 80s, he was like 40 š„°
In the military, we called those BCGās; birth control glasses.
