I [Heart] Boobies bracelets are catching a lot of flak
from adults who say their teen children shouldn’t be wearing them even if it is
to promote a good cause, i.e. fighting breast cancer. And now, there are two other
bracelets that are creating a stir on high school campuses.
“I [Heart] My Ha-Pee Pee-Pee” bracelets for guys and “I
[Heart] My Ha-Pee Wee-Wee” bracelets for girls are actually being banned in
many schools across America. The golden latex wrist bracelets were introduced
into schools last week by a non-profit group who claims they are doing
everything they can to bring to light the upsurge of sexually transmitted
diseases (STD’s) among teens.
School nurse professional, Indi Nile, a spokesperson for
the group known as “Healthy Ha-Pee Wee Wees” says that the wrist bracelets are
quite popular and high school students should be allowed to wear them to remind
everyone how important safe sex is.
“It’s not just about teen pregnancy,” claims Nile.
“Sexually active Teenagers need to know that if they are
going to have sex, they better practice safe sex to avoid the spread of
disease.”
Nile blames much of the controversy on parents who are
just too embarrassed to talk to their kids about such things.
“If we send home literature that has the words vagina,
penis and condoms in it, the parents go ballistic saying their children should
not be exposed to those grown-up words. So we said ok, let’s take it down a
notch. That’s when we came up with pee-pees and wee-wees to describe the male
and female sex organs."
Nile hopes that eventually parents and teachers alike
will understand the importance of driving home the safe sex message no matter
how silly that message is. Until then, I [Heart] Ha-Pee Pee-Pee and Wee-Wee
bracelets will suffer the same fate as condoms in high schools. Too
embarrassing to talk about, let alone giving them out free to promote safe sex.
