To some people, lucky charms are very important in their life. Some people have good luck socks, jewelry, animals, and many other things. Even though a lot of people believe in these, do they really work?

Some would say that the outcome of using or having a good luck charm is just in our heads. We would call this a placebo effect. A placebo effect applies to good luck charms because the charm might be all in our head and people just make themselves believe it actually works.

Others would argue that good luck charms do work. This could be because of religion or the constant luck when having or using the charm. Everyone has their preferences and opinions when it comes to lucky charms and that is normal.

Some of the most common lucky charms are four-leaf clovers, horseshoes, rabbit feet, and many more. Each symbol or charm represents something different.

Lily B., a student at Eleanor Roosevelt High School does believe in these charms. B. said, ” Yes, I believe in lucky charms because they seem to help me when I need it but it also could just be a superstition. I believe that if I wear an evil eye that I will do good on my test or anything. I do believe that they work because I always get good results.”

Sabrina Preciado, a student at Eleanor Roosevelt High School, does not believe in these charms, Preciado said, “I do not believe in lucky charms because I think outcomes are based off of your effort and your own choices rather than objects or symbols. However, they do bring some people comfort in having a symbol of luck, but I see it more as a physiological thing rather than something that actually changes the outcome. I don’t believe that they actually work.”

Even though good luck Charms might just be based on our actions, confidence, and physiological beliefs, that doesn’t mean that people have to stop using them. If you feel that they bring you luck, then continue believing in them!
