THIS IS PLEASANT

The old '80s (so old, I remember them!) fashion accessory jelly bracelets have made a comeback as "sex bracelets":

A fashion accessory may have a lot more meaning than you realize for your teenager....

Madonna wore them in the '80s. Now, teen pop star Avril Lavigne has an armful, and singer Pink sports rainbow-colored rubber wear, and your little girl may have them, too.

Only this time these jelly bracelets have a new nickname: sex bracelets.

These bendable pieces of colorful rubber have a whole new unwholesome meaning: They're a sexual code to many teens, Paolello said.

Some colors mean different things, and people wear them for that reason....

In a game called snap, if a boy breaks a jelly bracelet off a girl's wrist, he gets a sexual coupon for that act.

It's become such a problem in some middle schools in Florida that districts started banning the bracelets.

You like to see this in middle school! But if you train children in sex from pre-school on at some point they're going to want to put all that hard earned knowledge to work. But "experts" have a solution:

But experts say it's a good opportunity for you to have an important conversation about sex, what you think is acceptable and what's best for your family.

"Now, honey, I don't think it's best for our family for you to wear those black bracelets right now. I'd prefer if you limit yourself to only two reds and three blues a week. If...if you think that's ok with you, because I'm not judging you. If you feel you're ready for black bracelets, you're eleven years old now and are certainly capable of making those decisions."

"Uh, whatever, dad."

Thank you experts, and thank you public schools.
