FACEBOOK BREAST CANCER AWARENESS - JUST ANOTHER ATTENTION GETTER

FACEBOOK BREAST CANCER AWARENESS - JUST ANOTHER



ATTENTION GETTER.



I'm sure everyone remembers when the female Facebook users were posting the color of their underwear on their statuses and claimed that it was to raise breast cancer awareness. But the messages that was forwarded to millions of ladies, also encouraged women to post their underwear colors as their statuses to "make men wonder." My question is, what did that do for breast cancer? Did it donate money to help the cause? Did it really make people more aware of breast cancer, or did it just make them more aware of what type of bra you had on?

There was the underwear, then the sex positions and relationship status that was something like "post vodka if you're single, beer if your not..."

Now, there's a totally new idea happening. The women are suppose to post their favorite cartoon character as their picture to raise breast cancer awareness. Is that really raising the awareness? Why is it that millions of us will participate in those actions, but if you post "sign this petition to raise breast cancer awareness, or to stop violence, bullying, etc." People refuse to take action?

Why don't we start posting ideas that will actually help the cause we  care about, instead? Posting meaningless words & pictures does not change a thing. I find it hard to believe that people were posting their underwear type for anything more than attention.

If you truly want to take action and make a difference in the things that you care about, there are sites that allow you to sign and create petitions to stop or help your cause. For instance, mycare2.com is a  site that allows you to do just that, and your voice is heard. But so many people are disinterested in that, but are quick to post their personals on a site that won't make a real difference.

Why not post ideas on how to make a real difference as your status every once in a while?

Needless to say, I refused to participate in any of these activities. If it doesn't really help the cause, why use it as an excuse for attention?! Kinda agitates me.

Anyways, thank you my loves for reading! I'd like to see your thoughts? Did anybody else realize this when seeing the whole FB thing, or was it just me?

Much love, very much to yall!
