Whether it's drinking 40s or drinking juice boxes, the boys who rule school rely on fresh fashion and accessories to cement their reputations. The cool cats of the playground don't flaunt their testosterone with motorcycles or platinum, just badass pencil cases. With these picks, any guy can be a pioneer of back to school style.
Looking for more back to school items? Bring some flair to the chain-link fence or the see-saw!

Although I have girls, it is wonderful to see such great stuff for boys out there.

I can't agree with a promo that promotes alcohol and "back to school" - be it college students or not. And the picture of young boys sends sort of a mixed message.

So etsy has taken to promoting school age drinking now? I guess if you are fresh out of school, then alcohol drinking is probably still a very fresh memory of your school years. The NY Times says that in colleges, binge drinking is so much a part of the social scene that freshman orientation now includes instructions on what to do if a student finds a roommate passed out.
They also say that teen-age binge drinking is a chief cause for a variety of other social and public health problems, including vandalism and violence, date rape, sexually transmitted diseases, and drunk driving injuries and deaths. Alcohol is partly or wholly responsible in half of the deaths from substance abuse overdose, and is the single common factor in the majority of deaths by suicide, homicide and driving while intoxicated.
I'm sure the mother's (and father's) who support MADD will be happy to shop here with articles like this!
Way to go Etsy!!

thebeadingtree, not everyone that drinks alcohol is a drunk driving STD infected suicidal rapist.
Also, alcohol cannot be responsible for anything, the people that drink it are responsible for thier own actions. Thats like blaming guns for school shootings. It's rediculous.
stop being so uptight, it's a cute article, and even cuter items. Go Etsy!

ButtonsandBrimstone, I didn't write that. The NY Times did. To be fair, they did make mention that not all school aged children drink alcohol.
The items are indeed cute, but the way the article was written wasn't so cute. Being uptight and being a concerned parent is two different things.
