Don't Band the Silly Bandz!

March 25, 2010
By Anonymous

Silly Bandz are really popular. Preschoolers to High school kids all wear them. My school is banding them! You can wear 6 total. People spend a lot of money on these bands. They are really trendy so why cant we wear them? Apparently, they are a health hazard because they can cut off your circulation. Everyone wears them on their wrists, not on their thighs! They're not tight at all! Everyone in school is furious that they can't wear their bands. They are cool and really fun! Teachers are checking our wrists right when we arrive at school to check how many bands we have on. Personally, I don't think they can tell us how many bands we can wear. That's unfair and unnecessary. Every kid has bands, and lots of them. All kids have 20-80 bands. They have to pick 6 of them. We get in trouble for wearing 7. What's wrong with wearing more than 6? All I'm saying is that silly banz are not a health hazard and we should be able to wear as many as we want.

I don't think you understand that silly bands CAN cut off your circulation if you wear too many. Not to mention, while everyone is messing with them in class, making perverted jokes by shaping them wierd and disrupting the calss, it keep people like me that actually want to learn from LEARNING.

i agree that they are kind of cool and that they don't cut off your circulation, but kids at my scholl are using them as a type of money and that is completley ridiculous.

Actually I disagree, Silly Bandz are not band at my school but they are a safety hazard and I thinks it is good your school has brought it to attention but I do think the students at your school should be able to decide if they wont to have their arm's amputated...
