I'm not sure if this has come up while I'm away, but it's a pretty decent cause, and it's free
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onelife...shtml?wristband - get ur own blue anti bullying wristband here.
I dunno how many here have had problems with it in their life, but I had an awful lot of it, inc it all starting from a teacher when I was 10 who hit me and put me down cos he was jealous of how clever I was so he held me back & turned ppl against me, so the cause is a good one imo, its pretty much ruined my life to make me what I am now and other ppl don't deserve to have to go thro it in this day & age, so support if you can spare 2 mins :) |

I've got one ordered - it'll go quite nicely with my Livestrong band.
It's a very good cause - get one today and keep that awareness level rising. |

Unfortunately im siding with some of the views raised on the nu-g board .. in that these bands are no more then fashion accessories .. wearing an anti-bullying band might seem like a good idea to show your support against it .. but it wont stop bullying will it?
Unless you suddenly believe that if the nation starts wearing them then parents/governors/pupils/etc will suddenly speak out and try to do soemthing about it instead of sitting around and shaking their heads? I somehow doubt so ..
Dont like to quote people much but i think this sums it up ..

| Cru54d3r makes a good point. Showing that you are anti-bullying by wearing a wristband will achieve very little. A bully isn't going to stop bullying because someone somewhere is wearing a fashion item which says what 90% of the population already know and agree with. It would be much better to give your money to anti-bullying charities who will spend the money on action. |

| while I understand what you've said Adam, I know there are some who see it as more than just a fashion accessory and who will wear it for a long time even when the cause gets forgotten for some other hyped thing for the celebs & wannabes to jump on, and to me it's something important |
