A fashion accessory may have a lot more meaning than you realize for your teenager, according to television station WCAU.

Jelly bracelets are making a comeback. But instead of a fashion statement, they may be making a statement about your kid's sex life, the station said.

Madonna wore them in the '80s. Now, teen pop star Avril Lavigne has an armful, and singer Pink sports rainbow-colored rubber wear, and your little girl may have them, too.

Only this time these jelly bracelets have a new nickname: sex bracelets.

These bendable pieces of colorful rubber have a whole new unwholesome meaning: They're a sexual code to many teens, WCAU said.

Some colors mean different things, and people wear them for that reason.

Here's a common breakdown, from what teens told the station:

Yellow: hugging

Purple: kissing

Red: lap dance

Blue: oral sex

Black: the full monty

In a game called snap, if a boy breaks a jelly bracelet off a girl's wrist, he basically gets a sexual coupon for that act.

It's become such a problem in some middle schools in Florida that districts started banning the bracelets.

If your daughter is wearing one of these bracelets, it certainly doesn't mean she's having sex, following through on the snap game, or even knows about the code, the station said.

But experts say it's a good opportunity for you to have an important conversation about sex, what you think is acceptable and what's best for your family.

What goes on in one neighborhood may not apply to another, and teenagers have their own ways of interpreting and morphing trends, the station said.

What's certain is the bracelets are here, and most kids the station asked knew all about the new meaning.
