WEAR YOUR CONVICTIONS ON YOUR SLEEVE STORIES |

Branden Hi my name is Branden, when I first got the e-mail I thought it was a great idea. I go to a Christian school but I still love punk, unfortunately though we only have about 450 kids go to my school! I wore the armband on a shirt a friend of mine gave to me. I was deliviering something to the office for my English teacher and I saw my friend Lance Mountain(Jr. not senior, in case you don't know but he is in a band called Sten Guns check out the March 2003 issue of Destroy All Monthly,he made me the shirt). He had his art supplies with him and I showed him my armband, he said he would put something on it. He put WAR on in just like that in big black letters. I asked him what he thought of what was the war and he said it's a joke what there showing on TV. I thought it was really cool that he made that for me but then people started thinking I was pro war! So during lunch I put "HATE AND" on there so it read "HATE AND WAR". Well I did'nt get hassled at all (in fact a few of my teachers were against the war!). Well I go to Brethren Christian High School and I am trying to get the message across, and I am doing it alone I hope you get a chance to read this story. P.S. I did'nt know who to send it to so I sent it to Jorge sorry if I caused you any trouble. -- |
