Free Teen Dating Abuse Bracelets
EDIT: This is no longer available.
After filing my taxes, I’d say that “I’m beat.” The sad truth is, though, a quip like that on an offer for free teen dating abuse bracelets really isn’t a joke at all.
See, the fact of the matter is that 1 in 3 teens is abused in a relationship, and that number is too crazily high. Imagine yourself and two of your friends. That means that either you, or one of them is in an abusive relationship, and that’s not good at all. Abusive teens grow up to be abusive adults, and that’s not a cycle that we want to continue or should want to continue.
Let’s do something to break the cycle, folks. These bracelets are a great way to get the awareness out there.
(I’ll be funnier next time, I promise… Just not the freebie to be funny on…)

this is a GREAT freebie! I’m a CASA Volunteer for the State of Louisiana and I can tell you – this is DEFINITELY a cycle that needs to be broken. Kids that grow up seeing / being in this type of environment do one of three things – 1) they decide they will NEVER be put in a situation like this or put their children in this type of situation and do everything in their power to stay out of it or 2) become victims again and again throughout their lives because its all they know or 3) become the abuser and pass it on to their kids who start the whole thing over.
wonderful freebie here..I have a 13 year old daughter who is now showig interest in guys now..Im so hopin by wearing these bracelets she remember all thats ben taught to her about relationships and that if something doest seem right to get out now..She plans to give a couple of the braclets to a couple of her best friend and form a pack with them that if they get into something and need help they will be there for them along with their parents…so much awareness about this issue needs to be brought into the schools also…again thanks for this offer…..a great one…..:)
Wow, I had no clue the number was so high.
I’m passing this along to a bunch of friends. Not only to share the freebie, but the facts.
Thanks for posting this, Adam.
Awesome freebie Adam! The fact that people will stand up and discuss this type of situation shows we are learning. Spend 1 hour printing this and distribute. Don’t forget about the local school counselors, womens shelters, nieces, nephews, local grocers’ bulletin board, libraries, summer camps….
i agree we need to break this abusive cycle. otherwise this cycle will repeat and it needs to stop. we need to help these abused teens to realize they cant stand for this and we need to encourage them to be strong and familiarize themselves with what is going on……
this is a great freebie i can share with ppl and get them with the program of abused teens. my daughter was in an abusive relationship luckily he was controlling and had not got abusive yet. now shes out of that relationship for good!!!!!!!!! and this is a great program i cant express this enough. thanks adam
the website will not open now..
UGH, THIS SITE IS DOWN
I have a teenager myself and I always try to help her be aware of the good and bads of dating and guys, the rights and wrongs & how to keep herself safe. I’d love to provide this bracelet, but the site isn’t working.
On another note….
I do want to thank you Adam for ALL of your postings. I have just learned about your site recently when it was posted in the St.Petersburg Times. I have been a “penny pincher” for a while and finding great deals on peoples blogs. I find yours to be very informative with many great links!
Thank you
This is a great freebie. Thank you for the post. I will definitely use these in my weekly teenage girl’s group meetings. Thank You Again.
Received. Ready to give to the teens in my world. Thanks.
Awesome.
I ordered mine for my teen step-daughters, but I haven’t received them yet..I hope they come!
It’s closed due to high demand.
Wow thats crazy! that number is high!!!!!
How do I know if I will receive or if they ran out before me? There were still bracelets left. I did this when the offer first came out.
