I usually get the same reaction. people are like "wow, you wear a lot of bracelets". My teachers aren't very fond of it. Sometimes when i wear cuffs or whatnot, people are touching all over them and they're like, "OMG MAKE ME SOME!!!!" and im like uh i don't even know you lol. it doesn't really matter what other people think, as long as you love kandi

I started to wear kandi to school in 8th grade and now I'm a junior in HS. I am known as "bead girl" "girl with beads" There is quite some people in my school who have 'copied' me. It's so annoying. But most people know it though. Some guys went up to me asking if I had a life, haha. In my school, I'm allowed to wear kandi. My teachers LOVE it. OH MY GOSH, my one teacher knew it was kandi and he asked if I raved and I said naw, and he said his construction co. makes domes and he met a bunch of DJs. People used to come up to me all the time asking about my bracelets. I get pissed when they touch it though. But, the comments and questions have decreased since others copying and people are used to me in my bracelets since it's been a few years. The glares and dirty looks will never end though. I have to start wearing less though. I usually wear it up my arms. It's becoming a distraction to myself and I play with it during class. And it takes too long in the morning. I get told to sell a lot, and people ask me money to make them stuff for money. I just say no, and don't bother to explain why not

I go to a fairly small school, so when strangers bump into me, they're like, "You're the bead girl!" (Like ixlikextrainsxkid said xD). It's kinda nice to be known for something, especially while being a freshman, even if it brings some negative feedback. I've met a few people that think I'm a freak for wearing so much, but the majority of people like my kandi, and then there is that little group that doesn't care, they like me for me~ I'm singled out for it sometimes, but that doesn't bug me. My drama teacher actually knew me as the bead girl before he knew my name XD And my art teacher bought me two huge jars of beads~ My friends love my kandi, and the principal and vice don't care, as long as it's not distracting to learning. They even let me wear one of my kandi masks on the fifth of November~ Like trains said, there were a few people who tried making kandi after I showed up. My friend started making "kandi", yet he hates raves and all EDM music except for Skrillex and deadmau5. And he knows absolutely squat about the kandi scene, PLUR or the rave scene. Overall, I got a pretty good response to my kandi for where I live. I'll be moving this year, so that means a new school. I just hope the change isn't too much, y'know? School-wise.
