I bought this (the “You F’n Got This version) as a Christmas present for my daughter. She’s 16, has recently “come out”, and struggles to be socially accepted by her peers. We live in a small rural community where religion and football rule the world. I ended up giving it to her as soon as it came because I just couldn’t wait. She knows that she has nothing but love and support from me, her father, and her brother but support from her grandparents and other people who claim to love and support her-not so much. I wanted her to have a reminder that she would get through this rough patch in her life and she would do it with grace and style, just like every other obstacle she has had to face. She loved it! Her face lit up and I had never seen her smile so big! She started to cry and said that she absolutely loved it and it was a reminder she needed, because sometimes she wondered if things would ever get any easier. That made me cry, and I had to reassure her that it would. High school can be a difficult time for any teenager, but if you aren’t as “normal” as everyone else is you’re guaranteed to have it harder than they do.It is a perfect gift. Very sturdy, a bit hard to get it sized just right where it is comfortable on her wrist and easy for her to take off when she needs to, but that just means it won’t snap as easily as some other products might. Would definitely buy again, and just might in some of the other options. Also, the message is on the inside of the bracelet so that no one else can see the profanity and be offended by it.
