I know it isnt the computer messing up my sight because my screen is on LOW. But, at my school, there was an eye exam thing and i failed....so i'm wondering if being near sighted can come from genetics. Both of my parents are are near sighted (well my mom had laser eye surgery) and most of my cousins wear glasses. But i really dont want glasses because i already have braces which are good enough for me! And i was depressed before about because i thought it was because i wasnt taking care of how i treat my eyes. Should i blame myself or genetics?

I know when the school sends my reccomendation to see an eye doctor she will blame me! so thats why im sooo beat up about it. Even if it is genetics, i cant absolutely prove it to her.

in some part, it might be genetic - but i think more so its with the growth of the eye and where the image is being focused. If anything, i would say get contacts - i use them, they are a charm. Being near sighted, it will most likely correct itself to some degree as you get older, the image will project further n further, thus bringing it to a good focus on the back of the retina.
cant blame urself. be happy with whats given to you.
oh n glasses aint so bad - get the right kind n u can look quiet bad ***.
but in my opinion, once i started to use contacts, i could never go back to glasses.

That is the age-old question. There are people who are definitely near-sighted due to genetics and then there are those who have no other family members with problems. If you are going to be near-sighted, there is nothing you can do about it. My advice to you if you need correction, and are old enough to accept the responsibility of contact lenses, is to go that route...that way at least only the braces are obvious! I feel your pain, I've been there and done that with both.
