To think that 13/14 year olds don't need to stand outside school having a cigarette at 8am in the morning?

I happened to drop DS2 at Primary this morning. He usually cycles to school. They must have chosen to smoke there instead of outside their own school.
It just made me

Here they have a joint

Sparkling if the child comes from a smoking home, it's quite likely their clothes will smell of smoke.

Oh no MaryZed, I assumed they were cigarettes.

Here if they are cigarettes with a filter they are cigarettes.

If they are rolies, they are generally more.

If they are smokers then yes I would
walk up to school with a fag, was the most relaxing part of my day.

Right MaryZed. I think i have lived a sheltered life. I have never ever been offered drugs.

Worra that's horrible. Sending DC to school in clothes that smell of smoke.

Yer. Are you still a smoker?

No but I was smoking from 12-19 its was very rife at my school too, kids who smoke are not bad kids.

I am sure they aren't Yer and I wasn't insinuating they were, I just feel abit that they have decided to take it up at all.

What made you give up?

Ah good,
I do see some posters on here who seem to have a bad vibe about kid smokers. Adolescence is arguably harder now then it was in the past I can totally understand why so many take it up just to get through the day.

I fell pregnant so I quit on the spot when I found out.

I suppose it is left to the judgement of the teachers, i did smile when i read it.
You should see the rules posted concerning width and design of school trousers!

hoodoo. They have introduced 'nun skirts' at the school. Or that's what the girls call them.

The most busy club at my DCs club is the "Quit smoking" one apparently, and that is the school with much less of a problem. Teenagers tend to use a lot of deodorant, which could cover some of the smell. But also smokers tend to have no idea how much they stink.
