As the kids were coming into class, a male student (C) noticed that another male student (W) had on a jelly bracelet. The kids started talking and getting all excited. I asked what was going on. Student C said that they could not tell me.
Long story short, the kids keep whispering about the bracelets. Finally student C said, "If I tell you what we are talking about, do you promise I won't get in trouble?". I had already overheard enough of the conversation to know what they were talking about but I wanted to see what they would tell me. So I played dumb and told them that they would not get in trouble.
Student C proceed to tell me about "sex bracelets". He said that at his old school the principal did not let the kids were them. By the end of the conversation 5 out of 6 students in my class were telling me what each color bracelet stood for and who was wearing them at school. When the kids were telling me this, I acted completely shocked so that they would tell me more.
I could not believe that they were telling me things like color x means oral sex on a boy, color y means just sex, color z means doggie style, etc... At the end of the conversation I asked the boys if they would mind telling Mr. AP (the assistant principal) about the sex bracelets. I told them that they were not in trouble but I thought it was very important to tell the administrators. The boys were actually excited about talking to Mr. AP. I called down to the office to prepare them for what they were about to hear. When my kids got to the office Mr. AP welcomed them and asked me to step out since they had "man stuff" to talk about. One of my kids said, "Yeah, she's already heard it once and she's a lady. She doesn't need to her it again."
That was basically the end of it. As for now, no more jellies at my school.

Hi. I’ve been reading your blog for the past few weeks and it’s really interesting and informative (from my point-of-view as a perspective teacher). I’m doing a project for my educational psychology class and was wondering if I could ask you a few questions via e-mail, but I don’t see an e-mail address on your blog. I was wondering if you could e-mail me, or somehow let me know your e-mail address, so that I could give you a little information about my project. Then, if you want to answer some questions for me, you could. Thanks so much! (My e-mail address is jacobso1[at]grinnell[dot]edu - change the [at] to @ and the [dot] to . )
my kids say they they didn't know they were "sex bracelets" until they saw them on the news described that way.
If you want to know what the different colors mean, just google "sex bracelets".
Most of my kids and their parents don't watch the news or read the paper...
sure - email me at tiffanylb@bellsouth.com
