I donate money to the charity but I refuse to wear a poppy, It's a symbol that's become less about remembering the dead and more about saying 'Oh, look at me, I'm wearing a poppy, aren't I wonderful and kind?' and belittling anyone who doesn't think the same. Every time someone on Facebook shares a picture of a poppy with the caption 'THIS PICTURE HAS BEEN TAKEN OWN X AMOUNT OF TIMES, SHARE THE HELL OUT OF IT' I die a little inside.

I like poppies and what they stand for, but I simply hate people for turning them into a self absorbed status symbol.
