I'm on the fence on this one. I think it would depend on the age and maturity of the person wearing it. While there is no way I would agree to an elementary school kid wearing it, a high school kid would be OK if they were mature enough to stop the "tee hee factor" and educate the others on breast cancer.

With that said, my sister is battling this right now and just had a second surgery. I asked her what her boys thought of the bracelets and she said they would never wear them and think they are offensive. Instead, they have been doing other things for breast cancer awareness within the schools and communities. Right now, FB is filled with "pink" things going on and I think that posting stuff on some of these social networks proves more effective as most kids go on them.
