Jr Kandi Kid

The other day my two little sisters and their friends saw me making Kandi and they asked if they could make some bracelets. I told them they could and MY sisters started telling them it was called Kandi and that it stood for PLUR etc.(I've explained to them numerous times what Kandi is and what it means.) One of my sisters ,after everyone had left, told me she wanted me to teach her how to make kandi. She said she wanted to be a Jr. Kandi Kid. What do you guys think? I would LOVE to teach her. I just want to know what you guys think about Nine year olds doing this? Because I know a few people who don't like the ides...Idk Why, they just don't.

Ive gone to raver day at disneyland a few times and see some really adorable jr. kanid kids, phat pants and all <3 if you wanna teach them how, make sure they know the meaning and try not to let them wear it to school, dont want the teacher to think they are doing drugs.

kids just don't understand that u can't buy/sell friendship. You could be a major FBI wanted criminal that my mom warned 10000000000 times against talking to, but if he has a $100 my cousin will be his friend for life. Heck, if he had a lolly-pop he would be his best cell mate for life. rather scary the stuff kids do these days

"MrKANDIKID": Haha I find it funny that you're hesitating to teach your own sister x) I think its perfectly fine. After all, all kandi Is, is a beaded craft thats mostly focused on kids. Lol

I know it sounds funny

But When you say Kandi a lot of people think of a rave and I dont want my sisters having to hear all the things people say about them. Like OD and stuff like that. And not only THAT but my just today my sisters and their friends were making bracelets again and after making a bracelet for my sister she said "Kandi is so cool! I'm going to sell mine!" My face went WHITE! Honestly, Even after explaining everything to her and teaching her about PLUR and friendship, I was heartbroken.

they are your sisters, why does it matter what we think? I explain the meaning behind my bracelets to kids who ask all the time. tho i use simple concepts like "friendship bracelets" and "trade with friends" and "be nice to everyone" and stuff like that, so essentially they get the concept, but without using PLURR until they are much older and can understand that.

What Purpl3Sag3 said, I love the idea but only as long she knows what it stands and idk if you taught her about the rave culture but I learned about all that when I had just turned 13 so I think go for it

I'm all for Jr Kandi Kids. As long as they understand what it really means. I'm not sure how well a nine-year-old can grasp the concept, but if you think she's ready, then for go it.

I taught me sister about Plur, what it stood for, and why not to sell it... Then I made a BIG rule: "You cannot be rude while making it or your privleges to my beads are prevoked." She doesn't follow that and complains that some of the beads are her because she bought them (Although people bought them for her, she has never actually bought beads herself like I have). She also always asks me over and over again how to do something and when she messes up a little bit she gets mad and throws a tantrum. In my opinion I would never teach a kid until they're older than 12 (Since my sister's that age) or at least until they're mature enough to handle when they make mistakes and not talk back when you provoke their kandi privleges until they can act normal.
