Why Are Needohs So Popular At Melbourne High by Samiyah Evans
Bright, squishy, and impossible to ignore, NeeDohs quickly became one of the biggest trends at Melbourne High School this year. Students carried the colorful stress balls from class to class and used them during lessons. What started as a simple toy turned into something students used every day, especially as more people noticed them around campus.
Many students said NeeDohs helped them stay focused in class. Instead of getting distracted, they kept their hands busy while still paying attention to their work. Freshman Cali Copeland said, “I used my NeeDoh during class, and it helped me focus better.” Copeland explained that the toy helped her stay on task during lessons. “It kept my hands busy so I didn’t get distracted,” Copeland said. She also said the stress ball made school feel less overwhelming. “It just made class feel more relaxing,” Copeland added.
Freshman Nylah Norbors also noticed how quickly the trend spread. “I saw people using them in almost every class,” Norbors said. She explained that students liked them because they were both fun and helpful. “They were really satisfying to play with, and they helped me pay attention,” Norbors said. NeeDohs also became something social among students. “People compared them and traded them, so it became a trend,” Norbors said.
