at our school the new craze is wrist bands, it started a few months ago, but has now reached new heights, everyone has got loads of bands on their wrists.

I've had them on for about a year now, most of them I had on because they were religious (well i just used the fact that they were religious as an excuse to stop teachers making me take them off!).

I just wanted to know if these bands are a craze at your school?

U mean the Livestrong wrists?

yeah, and all the other ones, at our school people just have loads of wristbands, here is a picture of my wrist

to tell you the truth, i was the first one wearing them at my school, i started wearing them for sport periods...

It only took a couple of weeks before several people had them on

they do seem to be in fasion, but people will get over em soon

yeah same here, i got all the red ones when i went to india last year, and ive had them on since.

I got a livestrong one,
not because I wanna join in on the hype,
but a friend of me survived cancer, and I wear it to show my support to him

This definately seems to be a craze. You can hardly see one person at school's arm he has so many lol.

Yeah, we have those livestrong, beat bullies and things at my school... ....

those bands in my school were a hit in about '99 ...

Yeah, each person had about 10,000 black rubbery ones ages ago but now everyone just wears loads of different ones.

in holland they have orange "respect to all" wrist bands but I don't want one because I love to be different from everybody else

bah, those orange ones suck,
Balkenende wears one
Besides, everything paid for the livestrong wristbands goes to cancer research, while everything paid for the orange ones goes to.... the manufacturer

---

I don't see the point of gothic, , there rudes they look trendie, but very rough look like there out robbin', goth's too me just look evil, and every goth i've ever met and known were attention seekers, im not sayin they all are, its just that the ones i've known are

I prefere too be a smart dress, dressing sharp

I wear labels, but not alot, i wair ben sherman, lambretta, merc, and basically anything that displays classic british stuff on

those rist bands they were cool amoungst grungers and goths a couple of years ago, just little shag bands

have any british people seen the goths on corry

shag bands! that was it! rofl

Never had the band craze myself. A few people in my school wear them, but no one does it on that big of a scale...I hope it does catch on though, we need a new fad

I like wearing smart clothes too, everyone thinks im weird cos i wear suits casually, but i like it.

I hate wrist bands..i have a watch and its a nightmare... these things get stuck everywhere

I have a bracelet, a nice not too chunky but okay i had a watch a nice ben sherman, paid a fear few quid on it, but i smashed the screen so i chicked it behind my bed, and i can't really be bothered with it.

if anyone on the forum is old enough or knows of "MODS" its like being a grunger, rude, what not but mod, theres a film called quadraphenia about them, there just smartly dressed people

I like to wear tophats and trench coats.B)

Yah , We have the rubbery ones like on Saralk's Picture except we wear yellow. That and girls hair bands. -_-

we got those black rubber slut bands at our skool ur lucky if u last the whole year without someone "confiscating" them from u.
a lotta ppl r wearing them too i just stick with my huge cuff watch and studded cuffs

I only know about 3 people with them, they dont seem that popular at my school but what does seem EVERYWHERE is those damn chinese slippers from the dollar store god those drive me crazy

Ok just had to edit after seein the posts about the rubber bracelets.  Back in the eight, ninth grade (im in 12 now) i wore them and now theyre everywhere all over again and the dumbest thing about it is that people still play those stupid sex games with them and for that the bracelets are confiscated, makes me want to scream

actually in our school (which is pretty strange tbh) pink is becoming a new fad, its strange. Anything that would normally be "wierd, gay, sad" is in

same here. this quite weird guy has a pink scarf and on friday he came in with pink shoe laces lol

The demand for wristbands has been so high that it's taking longer than we expected to deliver them all. We're dealing with the orders and sending out wristbands as quickly as we can. If you placed an order before 31st December, you should receive your wristband by 1st March at the latest.

We're sorry but there are no more wristbands available and we currently don't have plans to produce any more.

Thanks for being patient. We really appreciate you getting behind the Beat Bullying campaign.

At my school everyone is trying to get their hands on these wristbands!

Theres the:

Beat Bullying [BLUE - Free from BBC RADIO 1 website, not available (sold out) - Can be bought off Ebay -_-"]

LiveStrong [YELLOW - From http://www.laf-store.org - Nike/Lance Armstrong for research on Cancer]

StandUp SpeakUP [BLACK and WHITE linked together - Available at local sports stores ( JJB , JD ) or check the website - http://www.nike.com/standupspeakup/index.jsp]

Make Poverty History [WHITE - From local charity shops]

There are other ones some for charitys some not -_-"!

Look out for the Tsunami ones coming out =D

There are several others aswell, red, white and blue ones (blue or something else), that are for the soldiers in iraq or something, and there are some others that I know of and can't think of >.<

'Fads' don't generally just come from one area, to be honest, they usually spread like wild-fire throughout the whole world, think about it, if it started in Britain, there are like 12mil people in Britain, a load of them go on holiday, the majority follow the trends, they go to different countries, people over there see what they where, find it cool or whatever, so they find out where they get their clothing from etc. Works the same way afaik .

56mil i thought?, and they wrist bands out now started in america didn't they?

---

livestrong was way b4 dat, it was b4 olympics didnt u see the sports people wearing dem

yeah everyone at my school has them bracelet/wristbands blue ones white ones yellow ones and pink ones mainly.

I however do not see the point in them, i donate quite a bit to charity all year around, and i don't see why i should get a wristband for it I'd rather see the money i donate go fully towards research or care, rather than half to some company who make the bands a quarter to somone else and the other quarter going towards the charity.

As some of you may know my mother died of breast cancer, from family and friend donations we managed to raise enough money to buy a new high tech machine for a new breast care treatment ward at the hospital she was treated in.

To me that is better than some shoddy wristband, i'm not getting anything out of it i'm quite happy, i feel donations should be donations not a trade basically.

Yea, we have these wristbands thingys at school.. No way am I paying £2.50 for a wrist band that i'll never wear, even if it is for charity..

And I have other reasons for not donating to cancer research..

god they are anoying, there are so many, i hate them personally, but i know a girl in my school who paid about ten pounds for two!!!! on ebay.

i sometimes wear little "shag bands" but not often.

i pretty much wear two sweatbands each day tho or some beady braclet thingies that someone bought me.

our school has gone all ruly kinda thing tho and this week they made a new rule that you can wear one band only and a watch, any other jewlery gets confiscated,

theyve gone realy up on uniform recently, in fact the head teacher was so botherd about trying to confiscate my black and red sweatbands she didnt notice my bright red trainers that ive had on all week

Bah, I have spiked wrist bands! Kinda like Scones....And I wear a ring on my ring finger.... and a necklace...and a spiked belt.

Purity is a stylish mofo
