I think kids should wear something that does not detract from the learning environment of the school. Let’s face it, boys and girls are likely to giggle about “boobies” or crack jokes or check to see if anybody notices that they are being edgy by wearing the bracelet. That’s a distraction from the classroom learning environment. If they care about breast cancer, they can wear an ribbon or something during school, and wear the bracelet after school, if their parents approve.
Thanks, Karen, for your comment.

Dear Kaleena: It might be helpful if you tell your parents what is happening so they can speak with your gym teacher and the principal. Good luck.

I am wondering if Nick was a Nicole, Would we of even heard about this,, and yes as a young boy wearing a I (heart) Boobs braclet it could be taken either way, I support what he is doing and fighting for his right to wear a braclet that has meaning to him, atleast it isn’t those colored jelly braclets that every color has a sexual meaning.
Give the kid a break!!!!
Dear Steph: Thanks for your input. Good point.

I find the whole thing ridiculous. This kid has a heart and a mind of his own. A SCIENCE teacher finding this offensive? Did she get her degree at Regent University? I am sure all science there is done in the dark. I applaud this young man for trying to bring awareness to his peers – who may lose Moms and sisters.

Over reacting puritans!!!

Nick is a spoiled kid who probably has never been told no by his mom. He says” I will wear it even if I get detention” but he doesn’t get detention does he? no because mommy is there to get him out of it.
There are plenty of ways to support breast cancer….
If the school says you can’t wear the bracelet then don’t wear it. Get a different type of bracelet if you want. If the school says you can’t wear something that is controversial then don’t wear it.
I think mommy and Nick want attention in their pathetic lives and have decided to make an issue of something that should not be a problem.
Dear Come on now: Thanks for your thoughts. Loss often evokes strong support and implementation of causes – the adage about walking a mile in someone else’s shoes comes to mind.
