You see your friends and classmates wearing them on their wrists at school every day and also to games. They’re everywhere! Everyone seems to want one and they come in all different colors, but all say one thing: “I Love Boobies.”
These are bracelets to help support breast cancer awareness. But is that the real reason that people wear them?
“I support the message but the language used on them isn’t appropriate for school,” stated Mr. Lynch, a teacher here at PCHS.
Do you think that they’re okay to wear at school? Briana Pearcy, a freshman here at PCHS, had this to say about it: “I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with them. It’s to support breast cancer. I have one.”
The Keep A Breast Foundation’s mission is to help eliminate breast cancer by exposing young people, mostly teens to methods of prevention, early detection, and support. This is a campaign to speak to young people about a subject that is often scary. For more information about the campaign, you can visit www.keep-a-breast.org.
