they sold them today at stonestown for $1 at the Discovery Store place

yea i have one... its lyk a fad in my school.. everyone is wearing them



they are the fake ones and arent by lance armstrong... the only real ones are the yellow bands that say made in china [everything is lyk made in china] in the inside... all the rest of the colors are fake if it only says livestrong... but not all yellow bands are real so ya hafta be careful because u may just paid money to a person making money off of them and not for cancer reasearch

i agree

i wanted to get one of them bracelets. i dont know wehre to get em. i wanted one before they became popular. i wanted one because i knew soemone who died of cancer... and yeah...

they're SUPOSED to be 1$

wow. wow. wow. i cannot believe how many shallow ppl replied in this topic. all these ppl said "no and i don't want one" or "who cares" and "only losers wear them" blah blah. you ppl are soo un grateful! my lord, do you even know what its about? its NOT a latest fashion craze, its NOT a stupid marketing devise, its NOT a instant popualrity thing. it means something! its for cancer research with lance armstrong's charity (you kno the guy that won the tour de france umm...lemmie see...6 times in a row?? oh yea and he beat CANCER). god. i bought mine because i knew that it was for a great cause and i didn't want to "be in with the in crowd". stop being so selfish.

GROW UP PEOPLE AND BE GREATFUL FOR YOUR HEALTH FOR GODS SAKE!

uhit shouldn`t really matter if it is in style or not. the reason you wear it should be because you are supporting cancer or the troops or whatever the bracelet is for...


uhm how could it be that only LOSER wear them? saying that right there made you sound really ignorant. obviously you have no clue what they really stand for. and while some people might wear them to fit in others wear it because they actually care and want to show their support.


how could you not like something that supports a good cause? and just because other people might wear them because they think it is a trend, doesn`t mean that you can`t wear it and actually wear it to support the foundations.

i didnt say there was anything wrong with wearing livestrong bracelets to support it, afterall, thats what its for. maybe i should have stated that not EVERYONE wears them trying to follow a trend or because it makes them look better, but the MAJORITY of people wearing them is because of that reason. i bet more than half the ppl who have them dont even know what it stands for or the purpose of those. i dont have anything against livestrong, but there are other ways of supporting it that i'd rather consider than wearing a bracelet that ppl have turned into a trend

no... my teacher wears that, i don't wnat to wear the same thing as my teacher >_____<"

I don't have one, but I definitely want one. It's cool and it's for a good cause.

want one tho

not true.

it supports cancer research. your saying that people that want to contribute to help find a cure losers? Thats shallow.

i want one in some other colors.. i like to stretch them.. our school have blue ones now

Did you just completely NOT read this topic at ALL?! It's NOT about what your teacher wears... its about supporting CANCER research! Get over yourself and get a life... and a CLUE!

^ now, no need to force one's belief onto another...

no, but everyone i know has one. I don't like doing the whole following the crowd thing, it turned me off to it. If everyone wasn't buying one, then yeah i'd get one. But now my neighbors dog has one, so...yah no. JEEZ and don't go trashin me and going, "IT'S NOT A FASHION STATEMENT!!!" and all that shit. yah i know that, we all know that. We all have our own opinions to this. I'd buy one, and give that money to the cancer research, but i would give the bracelet away to someone who would want to wear it more then i would...good god, and were not being selfish or nething becuz we didn't buy the bracelet. I find praying and being there for the ppl who have cancer has more affect then buying a bracelet and hoping that money really goes to helping these kids. i mean c'mon now...this topic is ridiculous cuz we're all getting trashed on here, if i was a mod i would close this, cuz there are 100 topics on it already, and ppl are just getting yelled at if they didn't get the bracelet

heh i dont even want to wear one of them...i dont think they are cool for me lol srrry

yaeh i got one but i got a red one too that says "red sox nation"

no.. yes they are sort of ugly.. and no its not just to fit in.. people actually wanna help people with cancer.. and no not only losers wear them.. i wear them to help cancer, thats nothing loser-ish

yeah, i want one of those. a lot of people have like different colors for the livestrong bracelets. where do you people get those? i heard it from the internet & at malls. HMM.

nope. i don't really get what they're for. cuz out of the blue, practically a third of my school's wearing them and the people i asked abt them said o i dunno, my friend had one so i got one too or they're supposedly for if you died in a hospital and do not want to be recusitated (sp?)

hahaha its for like ppl whoi hav like cancer lool

My cousins from Arizona gave them for Christmas this year along with shoes. And they sent them early, like four weeks ago, so I am wearing it.

i don't care for them....people just wear them cuz everyone else wears them

i got one form my neighbors, they ordered ten form the website and it took 4ever to get here, and they gave me one last week...but it's kinda out of style now...i wnat a pink one though to remember my aunt...

No but i wanted one and like every mall that i went were sold out

I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it.

everyone has it and i really want one

i hate the people who want one because everybody else has one.

i support the yellow ribbon.

i don't have one ..

yeah i have a yellow livestrong bracelet. i also have a pink one that says share beauty spread hope . they're for a good cause, not just a stupid trend.

i want oneee

At my school they're really a fad one. I wanted to get some to support cancer but I didn't want it after it became such a fad and only 20% of that money really goes to cancer.

What is Livestrong? Is it to support cancer? I've never heard of Livestrong bracelets before.

really? its not as much a trend here at my school but i have one... most people are just interested to get as many of the colors as they can.... but its in the back of the shelf nowadays

I don't think questions are getting answered, and I'm getting kinda mad that no one knows what Livetrongs and the other wristbands are about so here are my answers:
Yellow bands are official Livestrongs to support the Lance Armstrong Cancer Foundation. They're a dollar each at www.laf.org or www.wearyellow.com
Pink bands are for the Breast Cancer Foundation, and are a dollar (I think) at www.pinkmerchandise.com
Other bands come in green, a few different reds, light blue, dark blue, black, and light purple. NONE OF THESE are Livestrongs, but they support some other charity or awareness group, possibly for tobacco or another type of cancer.
Some people are out there reselling official bands for profit, or manufacturing fake bands. I don't know anyone here, but please do not buy these. If you buy any wristband second-hand, make sure that they are real, and make sure they are being sold at the original price. Sellers should not be making a profit, because all bands are for non-profit organizations.
This is really long, but one more thing: Even if you think it's just losers or popular kids getting the bands, or it's just a stupid trend, please remember that trend or not, it's supporting charity. If you don't want to look like a total poser, buy one but don't wear it. If you want one because you DO want to be like everyone else, well, that's a bad reason. All bands are for charity, and that's all that should matter. Thanks for listening!

I don't have one ;[ its all good.

really. It's for the lance armstrong foundation. i got 18 at a flea market.. theyre like $1 each or so? They're really cool and I like them...

I Have Got White!

I don't have one. Where do you get them?

ummms each bracelet is like a different kind of organization funding different people and only the yellow one is livestrong
right?

my friend has a tie-dye one. lol i have a yellow one.

Well it's more than the color...it's what each of them stands for when you buy them. It's not just a fashion statement, it's showing you pitched in for a good cause. I wanted to get a pink one for breast cancer.

almost EVERYONE at my school has one...especailly the wannabees (no offense or anything) but people just take it as just a fashion statement and it IRKS me SOOOOO MUCH!!! man, aghhhh

edit>

but naw, i don't have one...heh, obvious reasons

i respect all you people out there that say its just for fashion.

but if you really think about it, if people are buying it for fashion to fit in, the money still goes to the funds.

the more popular it becomes, the better, whether for fashion or not, since there will be loads of money goin to the charity funds anyway.

my friend gave me one...and it was fake

good point. i never did get one though...i wanted one though and for the actual charity not just for fashion. ah well.

I heard they don't make them anymore..

I dunt really care bout livestrong anymore...it'z old skewl

My friend bought two so she can spend more money for the cancer so she game one bracelet to me.
