 plus on my other forums there are lots of replies, most people say it's not too much, it's much-a-do-about-nuthin, as one person says it. I would not have a problem with my kid wearing one, or my wearing one. To support my aunt who is a B.C. Survivor.

Brought the topic up with someone this morning who is a big supporter of breast cancer research and education, so I was interested in her take. She thinks that slogan (and some others) "trivialize and sexualize" a horrific disease, and have more to do with the "tee hee" factor than true education.

As a parent of a pre-teen I am on the fence. While my DD would understand the significance behind these bracelets a lot of the immature kids (mostly boys) she goes to school with will not. That's when it become inappropriate. So the bracelet itself is just fine but the children's reactions to it is where it may be in appropriate. And since schools no longer deal with children as individuals, all children are disciplined and the item is banned.

Yeah, Kelly, I'm getting a little sick at the way the younger generation is taking the nice world we made for them, and turning it upside down, so we can't enjp it anymore. GRRRRRR!!

I always go back to this but, we see such over the top violence and gore on television and no one gets hung up on it. But mention anything having to do with sex?? ...or in this case, that part of female anatomy that suggests sex, fertility and motherhood?? (and ahem, the reason we're ALL HERE?) people get squeamish. Makes no sense to me!!
but does make me want to buy an I love boobies bracelet. I think it's fine. Respectfully. Becca44 |

Sex doesn't make me squeamish at all. Neither does the mention of the female anatomy. Or the male anatomy. It's the disrespect and, as B2Y's friend put it so well, the "tee hee" factor that bothers me. But, I guess that's what is needed to get through to some of the high school kids out there.  I can almost understand elementary school aged kids......but high school?? Really??

I had a customer wearing one today. They're similar to the pink bracelets but they'll get more attention from the kids just like AMN said. It's a good idea! Kids need to know that this can and does happen! Maybe it will get them thinking of ways to try to prevent the big C by checkups and/or lifestyle changes, etc...
