Over here I've only seen like 6 people with tamas once a year. In 3rd grade I saw a boy with a tama on the playground. In 4th grade two girls on the bus with tamas. I think it was 5th grade some girl had a birthday party and got 2. In 6th grade a girl got a familitchi, we were going to connect once I got mine, but it was too late she lost interest. And the last time was in 7th grade this kid got a tama and he was a little special, second hand smoking, he was smart but he acted like he was 7 years old. He pretended his pencils were space ships, so he got laughed at a lot, but even more when these jocks saw him playing with his tama. That was the last I seen of anybody with a tama. I bought my tamagotchi color likelast summer and it cost a lot at the time, my friend
(now ex friend) couldn't believe I wasted money on it. Some people thought it was cool, but then they say "yeah I never was a big fan cause they just got too boring after a while". I get a couple laughs though when I say how my tamas got married and got busy.
But anyway I don't see how to bring tamas back in highschool when u see them rarely in Highschool, hopefully tamagos might change things. But teens just have better things to do, sports,homework, dinner, chores, texting, myspace,facebook, and then the weekends for family or friends. Although I've always dreamed of people with tamas attached to their pants,zippers, or in their backpacks and purses or connnecting. But it's difficult, because no one really wants to buy one, they probably see it as a lil kids toy.
