A very sticky topic, jelly bracelets. Why would these harmless bracelets be dangerous? What is going on in our society to create such disturbing games being played by our teens and tweens?
Since being an educated parent will help you to have healthier and safer teens, you need to be aware of these types of games that are being played. In a previous article, Rainbow Parties, shocked many. This bracelet game, Snap, is another blow to a parents mind.
Some people have may have heard about the latest fad in colleges, high schools, even middle schools! This social phenomenon involves "snapping" the bracelet off the wearer, enabling the snapper to earn a sexual favor from the snappee based on the color of the snapped off bracelet.
Here are the color associations:
- Yellow - wearer is willing to HUG
- Pink - wearer is willing to give a hickey
- Orange - wearer is willing to KISS
- Purple - wearer is willing to kiss a partner of either sex
- Red - wearer is willing to perform a LAP DANCE
- Green - indicates that ORAL SEX can be performed on a girl
- Clear - indicates a willingness to do "whatever the snapper wants"
- Blue - indicates ORAL SEX performed on a guy
- Black - wearer will have regular "missionary" sex
- White - wearer will "FLASH" what they have
Sex bracelets are a teen fad with a dangerous sexual twist. The bright colored bracelets are popular with teens, but they're creating controversy and many children, and even adults, wear these decorative bracelets without any sexual connotation or meaning whatsoever.
Teach your children about the dangers of STD's. We can talk about sex to our kids, some schools offer sex education and we can even "believe" we have a very open relationship with our teens - but do you really know about these trends? Peer pressure can be part of this dangerous game. The more you know, the more you can help to educate your teens.
These topics are not to scare you, they are to educate you. Your child may be wearing one of these bracelets and it has no association to this disgusting game. It is only about you knowing that this does exist - as hard as it can be to believe.

Really...the more I see on this stuff, the more I am considering home school. Ugghh...
The so-called "Snap" game is an urban legend - go to snopes.com and search "snap game".
Sue, Thank you for teaching me new terms! Thank you for writing about novel and much needed topics including SNAP and rainbow parties, I look forward to reading and sharing your articles with others. Best, Brigitte
It's not new, it's not this generation, it was called spin the bottle, lights out, key party, and many other things with different props and it's been the same game for thousands of years. The ones with the problem are the ones who aren't playing those games or didn't when they were young because they grow up to be dumb columnists out of touch with their own culture writing or reading wide eyed, excited reports on boring old news. The bracelets are just the current prop, the game is still the same.
this SNAP game is not an urban legend, They are doing it here in Hampton va and I jumped on some kids i know for playing it. Open your eyes and stop being silly bela. This is a dangerous game an it is causing alot of issues
