Shisha pens on school trips acceptable?

12 replies

Ds was on a school trip over half term and came home raving about vaping shisha pens. He is in year 7, 12 years old.

I am in two minds whether to bring it up with his school or not. I am not sure if I am totally pfb to bring it up, or not.

I am also not very impressed as ds had his sun glasses stolen from his seat on the bus, and a tenner lifted from his wallet.

This, along with shisha, makes me Hmm

wtf is a shisha pen?

I think I would be mentioning it especially the stealing (- if you're sure it happened and DS isn't just saying it because he lost things himself)

A shisha pen is like an e cig, but does not always contain nicotine. It is like flavoured vapour that you "smoke".

Is it harmless flavours like fruit etc or some kind of legal/herbal "high"? If the former I wouldn't worry, would still be concerned about the stealing though.

I wouldn't want mine to do it, not least because then I will never know whether he's puffing on an e-cig or a shisha. Do bring it up with the school.

Absolutely complain to the school, kids shouldn't be using shisha pens at school including trips and especially not in Y7!

Report to the school.

I agree that I would speak to the school about the shisha pen, regarding the money and sunglasses if I was sure they had been stolen.

I head from yr7-9 mums that they are the norm but no parent agrees with it. Proactive schools near us are banning them . Mine are primary age but parents you need to google these things !!!

Doesn't matter what is in it - most schools have banned them as they are promoting smoking.
