If a peice of jewellery, or whatever, becomes a trend, yet it still supports a good cause, then it's still all good. In fact, if everyone who had a bad habit found it trendy to buy one of these bracelets, or any other fund-raising article for that matter, we'd still all probably be better off.
Still, wouldn't it be nice if a little bit of awareness actually crept into the social fabric along with the trendiness? That, alas, may be a bit much to ask for. And as others have already mentioned, there are still many people who wear the item with the full knowledge of what it means, so let's not generalize about vapid teen culture, maybe it's deeper then it appears.
Peace,
Pierre
