Should I intentionally break my glasses?

I have a problem. I have been needing new glasses for over 10 months and I keep asking my mom to take me to get another eye exam and new glasses. See, last Halloween I volunteered for Key Club to scare people at a local "haunted plantation maze". That night, I painted my face black to better blend in and kept my glasses in my pocket the whole evening. After I was done, I got out my glasses and they were severely bent, and they have been this way since then. They are falling off all the time. I cannot even look down for a few seconds because they will fall to the ground and they could break.

So, my question is: Should I intentionally break them at school tomorrow so my mom will have to take me to get some this weekend? I know this is kind of mean, but I feel like it's my only hope because each time I ask my mom she says "Okay" or "I know" but she never follows through. What should I do?

    You don't have to break them. But that's your choice. Here's what you could do-

    To stop them falling off, tie rubber bands around the ends of your glasses. That should solve your problem :3 I do that.

    Next time you go shopping, casually wander into a glasses store. Your mom will get the point.l
