Exactly, people buying them for the causes is obviously great. The original purpose of them was for good causes, whether they would have helped with anything or not is a different story. But the fact that people buy anti-bullying bands purely for fashion, and bully people while wearing them just sickens me. And the fact that people on ebay are making money FOR THEMSELVES out of people who have trouble finding food, water, and shelter. Its horrible, I hate what those bands have turned into.
