do they have silver ones? my friend claimed she had one bu i havent seen it. if so, what do they support?

yeah, i wear one cuz i support =]

yup. i'm wear those for my grandfather.

::jerry::

i have one and i only wore it because i support the good cause for it. My other friends...well lets not get started there....:oh and u can buy them at everythingyellow.com or yellow.com or i think wearyellow.com..thats where my friend told me where she got mine^-^

I wear one because i'm a supporter tooo. My friends are most of the people in my school who wear them too. And they actually know what it's for and support it. Fashion trend? Somewhat...but people who wear them just because "everyone else is" and don't know the purpose..well..they should....blah.

Yup, they might be losing their real meaning, but at least people who wear them, donated money and supported them. Unless you can buy them or get them for free somewhere..

what r they??? any photos for those?

It doesn't matter if it's a trend or not, it's not really losing its meaning because the money is still going to LAF and there are still many people who buy the bracelets to support LAF.

My school's gonna try to buy alot and sell them for 2 dollars each.

that's racist, whoever said that to your friend. And wrong, cuz i know alot of mexicans that wear them.

It's starting to seem like a trend now, but I guess its for a good cause. *shrug*

im a supporter and its not a trend...our school just got the yellow one...its cool...and its 3 bucks....and im doing my part by giving that extra dollar...you guys should too...

a few of my friends have one and I want one too. Another friend of mine has a pink one. If I saw correctly at the debate, I think John Kerry was wearing one lol.

I TOTALLY THINK THEY ARE LOSING THEIR MEANINGS. i makes me sick how people talked about it at school like it was a hip jelly bracelet all the rocking people would wear. lost all its meaning to me.

yeah i think people where it just because.....i where mine 24/7 no matter if it matches with and outfit or not....im always wearing my wristband and im glad i donated 10 dollars for cancer research

yeeup. but u noe what else?.. people in my school are getting some from EBAY. now where the hell do those funds go?

I have 2. I wear both for the cause. People are always asking me where I got it, if they can have one, ect.

Jeebus, it's so annoying. They just want it because it's becomming more popular....Errr...=[

just as long as they're supporting the lance armstrong foundation thing, i dont think it really matters if its a fashion trend or not.

aren't there pink ones for breast cancer? thats the one i want

i want all of them mangs. i want one of those pink pins. yellow bracelt. all those wacky things. to show um i care? but yea i do.

everyone is wearin them at my school. this guy was selling them...$3. I wanted one but i was like *naw..* i dont want to fall down with the *trend*

they only cost $1 so that woundlt have been wise anyway...

its okay just as long as the money goes to help the organization to help fight cancer.

lots of ppl are wearing them at school, i think its cool but i dont have one lol

I definately think that the bracelets are more of a fashion statement now. More then 1/2 of my school is wearing then and i bet 1/2 of them don't know what it means! That makes just about everybody.

i liked them more before i discovered they werent as squishy as they looked

but really, do they have silver ones, maybe for a different cause or something?

Umm... whether or not you're wearing it just because it's a "fashion trend" ... you're still supporting the LAF... because you paid for it and those proceeds are going to go to the LAF... So either way... You're helping out.

alot of ppl at my skool where them and sum where the pink ones to support the breast cancer thing...sry i don kno the name of the organization..sum also have red ones..idk ppl at my skool have red,black,yellow,pink and all them..the black ones arent for anything its juss a nike baller wristband..well yeah..

Yeap, i think its turning into a fashion trend, thats why i dont wanna wear one. It loses its true meaning when people wear them just because everyone else wears one.

the answer is yes!or maybe?

ya thoose things r everywhere here, i dont have one,dont wanna follow da crowd, ya it is a style thing now

anyone notice a billion ppl wear those yellow livestrong bracelets?
i just ordered one off ebay and im so darn excited!
anywhoos.. all the "cool" kids wear them and so does everyone else.
how did they become soooooo popular?
its just a yellow rubber wristband with the words "LIVESTRONG" on them
maybe because a lot of celebs wear them..
or..
nobody knoooowwss..

there is already a topic on this

This is just like asking "how did Adidas get so popular?" or something like that.
Just because a lot of "kewliez" people started wearing them, so more and more people went out to get a livestrong bracelet.

[shrug]

i want one. juss cuz i like to support those that are in need.

i heard they sell for like 8 dollars on ebay.. yet.. they're like 5$ for 3 at foot locker, LOL

yeah same here. i heard theres breast cancer ones that are pink, i want those too but i havent seen them anywhere.

..you ordered one on ebay? you should've donated to the cancer association or something..., they give it to you if you do, not order one on ebay.

..and there was already a topic about this.

i saw one of those today, my friend had it, but ive never seen them before. and another friend told me she had a silver one for aids but i havent seen it

Bit superficial arent we? The livestrong bracelets are for the livestrong cancer fund, not for popularity. Just because all the celebs and "cool" people wear it, doesn't mean it's for "cool" people. Ordering one from the ebay is just for people who want it because others do, it does nothing whatsoever to the real meaning behind them in the first place.

---------------------> edit



WTF.. Im sorry but maybe you should find out why people are wearing them before assuming it's cool. It is NOT a trend

There was a topic on this.

ANywho, there are people who wear them to be "cool" and other people who wear them to support the cause.

I wear it to support the cause. Only three people in my school has them.

Oh my god. this is SAD.

Yeah i had one like when they first were put out on sale because of the fact that my grandfather died of cancer when i was very young...i hardly knew him...
me and my dad always do stuff that support cancer research and funds that help people with cancer

They became popular because they're for a good cause.

I wear one cause my grandfather died of cancer.


As for the breast cancer wristbands, you can get them at Amazon.com in packs of 10... I believe they're on backorder as well. They were selling them in Target stores, but I'm not sure if they're sold out or not.

Heh.. you can get them with Build-A-Bear. You get one and the bear gets one as well.

The pink ones are for breast cancer and the silver ones are for AIDS.

haha yeah everyone wears them at my school. it's basically a fashion statement now. kinda sad but you know, at least some people wear them for their true meaning. =)

it is becoming a fad..i mean ppl at my school are now taking them if they just find them around..and lijke once a week someone comes to school and sells them just for money... i use to have one before all of the trendy stuff...but it is for a good cause so i guess its ok...
