Quite the contrary it might be to you, to others its about an awfull lot more, fortunately for me I never was bullied but I certainly would have worn one at my school as a message to bullies that I was an ally to the victim!

At present there is no such message, the wearing of these bands could mean a great deal to many, the original poster had his/her own reasons for posting and the first response was a negative one! Thats the kind of attitude that allows bullying to prevail, if you don't want a band fine if you want one fine but do us all a favour and take your ridicule elsewhere,

Thats me done on the issue I can get an arguement anywhere I come here for bargains.

Sorry I disagree, these are wristbands with a message, not a fashion accessory.

Im going to nip this one in the bud, as i can see the topic matter causing an arguement

I think the overriding factor here is that any promotion to stop bullying has got to be a good thing, and if something like this raises awareness of the issue then that has to be a good thing too.

I dont think we need to go too off topic here, but i appreciate that people do have strong views on this subject. Can we ensure the thread, though, doesnt get too heated.

I have sent for one of the wristbands. I was never bullied at school but have been bullied in my working life which caused me to lose a job I loved. Anything which may help is worth a try.

I don't know why this thread has been closed. The latest position is that Radio 1 are getting a load more to send out ('Newsround' 23/11/04). The website currently shows 'You can order your beat bullying wristbands from here at 8am'.

So try again tomorrow.

Think Radio One stocks are running low. Sneak magazine are also giving them away and I know they have 2000 available still.

Email sneakmail@emap.com with your name and address, and you'll be sent one within 28 days.

As people seemed to have different views on the 'blue bands', I've started a thread in the discussions board HERE
This is rather than turning this 'freebie' post into a discussions about the rights and wrongs of it.
