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.

Yeah, I'm bringing this back to life. What I thought would happen, happened. Glanced through a teen clothing catalog. Teen boys, along with skulls and other stuff, can purchase "I Love Boobies" tee shirts. Not a word about cancer on them. Had a student, he saw a tampon and went into helpless giggles. "What is a tampon?" asked a teacher.
He replied "I don't know, but I know it's dirty". The reality seems, most are not overly bright or PC and don't think breast cancer, but.....tee hee boobies.

I would not have allowed it in my class. There has to be boundaries to give our rebels a cause. There has to be boundaries. If kids can't shock you cause you're so cool, the not too bright ones push harder.

I read "every generation has it's own underwear." Pantaloons to granny panties to bikinis to thongs. What next? No kid wants to wear what Mom wore

All of our intellectual reasoning here, as to why it's proper for teenyboppers to have I love Boobies bracelets, to support breast cancer awareness, fell on deaf ears..

Teens make up their own rules. Just like the loud screaming at a support walk for those who panic and freeze, at loud noises. It's their world, until they grow up......if I let them.
