I go to this art club after school, and the club president ordered a bunch of pony beads so I could teach people how to make kandi. I already told her before that I wouldn't do it, but she ordered them anyways. Then one of my friends told me that there's just a huge bucket full of pony beads in the class, and nobody has touched them. I'd feel guilty if the beads went to waste, but I'm not going to teach that club how to make kandi. I think that a person who wants to learn how to make kandi can learn through their own dedication. Then they'll know if they're truly going to like it, or not. What would you do if you were in my position? /:

"ixlikextrainsxkid": people out there still do the rubber bracelet thing? That ended in the early 2002 era out here. i remember because my sister was ranting about it in her junior high then. Anyway, i thin the club president is being tottaly rude and should have just listened to you when you said no. if they want to push the issue, quit the club and go to the principal about peer presure Yes, they still do that crap at my school. It's super annoying. I think the hardest thing to do would be to quit the club. But if they don't respect my choice, then I guess I'll have to.

then tell them how you feel about it and if they dont listen then say you'll either buy the beads or let them waist them because its their fault

I've tried teaching some people how to make cuffs, and I'm impatient when it comes to teaching. I'm not a teaching person. My friend asked me to teach him how to tie off a cuff, so I took all this time to make a cuff, and then when I tried to show him how to tie it off, he went, "Yeah, never mind, how about you just tie it off when I need you to?" That annoyed me. A lot. And I love my art teacher, he's a great person, but I think him and the president should also respect my wishes, and accept that I'd rather not teach people how to make kandi. Also, I'm scared that kids will make it into something it's not. I remember at my school there were these small rubber bracelets, and each bracelet you had meant you were a virgin to something sexual. If you weren't a virgin to that certain thing anymore, you would snap it in front of everyone at school. Like purple was making out, and girls would snap those all the time. What if people ended up doing something like that with kandi? I would be so angry..

necro i get the whole if they want to they can learn it on there own thing to an extent i think that they should if they really want to get supplies and youtube it or learn from here but trying to teach high school kids the rave culture and plurr wont work it will end badly trust me i've seen what happens when you try to teach about something foreign to most people and it rarely works out well though in an art club setting it might work better chances are if you try teaching them before they make it they might not want to learn and yell at you when its not your fault one last thing it might turn into a i dont get it then when your helping them it's like every 5 minutes your bouncing around and it might seem like you made all the cuffs for the people

I would take it as an opportunity to teach people what plur and kandi really stands for. Peace between students, love for art, unity in inspiration, and respect for your teacher and her good hearted attempts.

simple say "i told you not to do it, because its deeper then just hey lets slap it together you have to want to make it for the right reasons and know the history and culture of this but those beads are going to go to waist so can i buy them from you" and if she says no then tell her "fine i'm done with this club if you cant respect my choices then who needs this club" or simply say "ravers wear this" because i know where i'm from the whole cosplay, rave, and anything like it is shunned

it sounds like thats a odd place to be but you dont haft to show them how to make cuffs or stuff like that you can show them how to make charms like the stars or the hearts or mini bows,so the beads get used they are mostly only just makeing charms so its not like they are makeing much of kandi just little charms
