you know how a lot of people are wearing the LIVESTRONG wristbands? does anybody think that the wristbands are starting to lose their real meaning and now people are wearing them for a fashion trend?

i wear one but only because i support the LAF

LIVESTRONG? Haven't seen those around here.

ummm whats LIVESTRONG?

yeah, everyone at my school has them. and yes they are, but just so long as they get the money from them...its better than other trends because it goes to a good cause

Yeah, it's definitely starting to feel that way.
I was going to get one, but then I realized that people might take me as a poser, so I didn't.
My sister is getting some though.
I'll probably get one from her.

[The LIVESTRONG yellow bracelets are sold to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, I believe. If you don't know who Lance Armstrong is...]

it doesn't matter what they wear it for, they still are supporting the cause

Oooh, so that's what they are. Lol, people at my school are wearing those. My friend wanted one, but the reply that she got back was, "You have to be white to wear them."

Blah, whatever.

Ooooh.... u don't have to be white to wear them? or at least i don't think?...


Anyways, it's weird... cause a lot of "popular" kids have them... and i was gonna get one but people might think im a "poser" =\

o0h ive seen those before my friend nick has one lol

The ball cancer bracelet right?
Yeah they wear that at school.

LOL @ people who relate race and popularity to LIVESTRONG bracelets. As long as you buy one, you're already supporting the cancer foundation.

it really is becoming like a "fashion trend" at my skool

yeah, its becoming a trend with some people at my school. some of them are wearing them but they don't know what its for -_-"

ah yeah they were talking about that in the news a couple of days ago. you have to wait weeks just to get one .
they mentioned that people were actually selling it on ebay to make profit for themselves- defeating the whole purpose.

oh, lol, i thought this topic was about LIVE STRONG


well, i wear wristbands too, from nintendo^^

yea there are a lot of girls that wear them around our school. i thought it was some kind of new trend or something.
but then a friend told me and i felt stupid asking. oh well. i want one now.

i have one. i duno. i just like it cuz its yellow and its a band. yup

Yeah, you don't. He just didn't want to answer my friend's question.

omg they are everywhere. no lie. everywhere i turn theres another one. its a great idea tho.

Who cares if it's a trend..it's helping the foundation, anyway, even John kerry is wearing one. When i found out what it's for..I think I'll buy one for myself.

oooh...so THAT'S what they're for! everyone seems to wear them at mah school nowadays.... it's becoming a "fashion trend." but its for a good cause, so HECK who cares why they wear them.

haha i never see them in my school... haha

nope
never seen em
where do you live?
sometimes a trend is popular
in only one place

omg, yes i know what your talkin about, i dont wear one, but i do have some support..and whats stupid is everyone has them and some people dont even know what they mean.

i never heard of them, but i heard of wwjd

I think they have become sort of a fashion trend. Most of the places that sell them are sold out now. Most of the people who bought them dont even know what it means.

Everyone at school's wearing them..not everyone, but a lot of people i mean. i wear it because...i support them

yellow bracelets for lance armstrong.
wear yellow, it's a fund for cancer. cancer is why lance started biking, then he liked it a lot while in recovery and kept getting better at it, and started competing.
there's like 3 people i know that wear them, but it's a worthy cause.

I've always wanted one, but all the stores said they're sold out.
I'm willing to buy it off from someone

Oh. My. Good. Lord.
Most likely 75% of the people do not have an idea what the real cause of the
bracelet is for in my school.
Its just a big "trend" once again.
And it annoys me so much knowing they have no idea what they have on them.

link
that right there is a link to see what the LIVESTRONGE wristband is, for those of you who don`t know of it. anyways, yeah i do kind of think that they are just becoming a fashion trend. but i have to admit that the first time i saw it i just wanted it because it was yello & what it said, but then once i found out what it`s for, i got one for that reason. but yeah...& i know of this one kid who bought a bunch online & is selling them to people to get the money for himself. which is messed if you know the real meaning behind the wristband

ditto 2 that!



/Edit/ oh whoops now i kno wut those r....i saw some1 wearing 1 today

i think it's sad how it's become a fashion trend. the sole purpose of the wrist band is for cancer awarenes and like proceeds go to lance armstrongs foundation and all that good stuff. buying them online and selling them to make a profit just ruins the whole thing.

most people at my school guys wear the nike ones that say like "baller" or "player" but ive seen the livestrong ones

When I first saw the commercials *before most peopel got them at school* i wanted one and partly because I liked yellow too But I never found out how to get one. Now hella people at school have them and I don't want one anymore mostly because it's becoming a "trend" and I dont want to be called a poser

never heard of them until now and i haven't seen anyone with one either =T

the whole football team at my school wears them

Wuut. Fashion trend? What a sucky fashion trend.

I've wanted one ever since the Tour de France. Oh Lance~

Fashion trend? Does it matter? When you order them, they can come in a pack of 10 bands (instead of shipping one, they package 10 to save money), so people share with families and friends. I think that's the reason why so many are wearing it.

I'm planing to buy some, too, and share them with my co-workers.

This kind of trend I will gladly follow.

Even if its for fashion trend its ok, its on their wrists so it reminds them of what to do

lol yea ppl in my school wear those all the time but my friend told me theyre sold out =T but she has one cuz she got one over the summer... i think...

It's worse in Austin... They were sold out in less than a week. Gah. That's the only reason I still don't have one. Of course, we do also hear the really touching stories... Like this woman walked into one of the local stores to get one, and was told that they were sold out. She told them that she wanted one for her husband's birthday, because he, too, was a cancer patient. All of the employees gave her their bands. Humanity can be good sometimes...

i have a box ;]

yeah you know those yellow...kinda rubbery wristbands....you get from nike....

its very prominent in SF =S

So prominent all the stores are sold out!!

Totally agree. I bought one like...when they came out and not a lot of people wore them. Now it's just a stupid trend.

i fundraised LIVESTRONG wristbands to my family, i didn't know everyone had them till school started!! wow.

Yea definitely.. ppl wear them just b/c "its the thing thats around school now so yea.."

yeah many kids have em at my school....personally i think a better cause would be to buy one of these bracelets

Word. By the way, I was gonna use that L'arc pic for my next layout.. I love you yemi.

Anyway the people at our school don't make it just a trend. Actually since we're a military school we're not allowed to wear them and the students protested so we could wear them and support the fund, but of course it didn't work. Even if it is just a 'trend' as the rest of you say, the money they pay for it still supports the cancer research.. so it's win/win situation.
