What lunch bag for high school?

[Bizkit]

What type of lunch bag?

DS is starting high school in sept and I'm assuming they don't use the common character/cool bag type ones used throughout primary school, I've not seen any children carrying a separate lunch bag, when I've seen then walk home from school.

I don't even know where their lunch will be stored all day? Any ideas?

I'm thinking just a small plain coloured zip up cool bag thing that can fit in his rucksack?

I can't for the life of me remember what I did back in my high school days...

and lunch is always eaten - they are hungry all the time so wont go without.

I don't think they give a toss what anyone else thinks - just turned 14 year old is nearly 5'11 and just turned 13 year old is nearly 5'10". They still get a sandwich, a biscuit, 2 pieces of fruit, some cheese (if they have meat or tuna on the sandwich) or some meat (if they have cheese on their sandwich) and a made up bottle of squash.

A plain, clear box. DS1 has a huge one...he eats about 4,000 calories a day before/during a growth spurt. That is a lot of lunch.

DS 14 still takes an insulated lunch bag to school but he is 6 feet 2 and a Rugby Forward so no one is going to take the piss...

DS1 who is going into year 9 takes a packed lunch Mon-thurs and buys lunch on a Friday (which is usually something like a pasta pot). He takes it in a plastic Tupperware box and usually had a sandwich/wrap, crisps, small biscuit bar/flap jack and an apple (the apple comes home uneaten!).

Carrier bag.

Every day.

Goes against my eco policy.

I am 15 and using my moms profile. It's not social suicide as I have been using lunch bags(plain black) since year 7. I have a healthy sandwich(usually a wrap) bottle of squash,fruit and a snack or 2. All my friends have packed lunches too and we share if one of us is hungry and if we have a snack left we give it to them. And I wouldn't recommend a box as mine got kicked in my bag in year7 and it broke instantly. On a Friday I have a canteen meal for a change and when I do have home made cake my friends think it's brilliant because I share it among them.

DD2 is in 6th form now and still takes a packed lunch most days. She says that most of them do because they cba to queue. She has a school lunch once a week, usually either some sort of pasta pot, or chips.

Packed lunch is taken in a normal tupperware tub and then bumped around in her rucksack all morning getting nice and warm. The most she will accept/eat is: a sandwich, a little orange, a biscuit, a drink. She'd be happy to take crisps etc, but I try to limit them to occasional rather than regular things, as i know she eats enough crap anyway, without me providing more.

Are you a girl or boy though Angelto5's 15yo?

Ds1- 15. Tesco carrier bag. Jammed into an impossibly small Adidas messenger bag. Eats one sandwich on the train to school (he does also eat breakfast btw) and one at break. Sausage roll or similar at lunch time. Crisps, usually eaten on the way home. Whatever snacks he can fit into the bag gets eaten at break.

Dd-16. Plastic Tupperware container. She makes herself a salad, has another little container of fruit and yoghurt. She takes hot chocolate in a thermos cup for the train. Sometimes if it's really cold she will make a flask of soup for lunch.
They have their own money and parentpay login so if they want to buy stuff from tesco or put money on their thumb for the canteen they do. Dd is normally too tight to spend his money on stuff he can get for free at home.

When they have packed lunches, DSs have these. No "social suicide" nonsense.

Sorry DS is too tight, not dd. DD does occasionally buy lunch from school.

Oh and I will just point out the train journey is 13 minutes. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it's 3 hours, given that they take stuff for the journey. But no. 13 minutes.

It's amazing how much food a young human can consume in such a short time TAB

He doesn't stop eating solo

He's 6ft 2 and skinny as a rake, I don't know where he puts it all

boy (gone back to the Xbox as usual) mom is back in control

My ds is also really tall (abt 6 ft) & has had a growth spurt in the holidays.
Nothing gets between him & his food. Thankfully he eats quite a well balanced diet but definitely has a sweet tooth(like me)
Also using a carrier bag still has the risk of breaking & damaging school work.
My ds (& dd who's 12) uses the systema lunch bags-you can buy them from asda. They keep things warm/cold.

I hear youTAB! my Ds is 6'7" and also as skinny as a rake! he is just 16 and rarely stops eating.
Dd is 7.8yo and is 4'7" tall. She eats well, but stops when she's full. She has a natural stop button, whereas Ds does not.

Angelto5 he sounds lovely! My Ds's last lunch box was broken by kicking too and that was when it changed into sandwich bags.

Thank you Solo.
I agree he is a lovely lad & not your usual teenager.

Long may it continue :)

Yes definitely.
Also would be nice if the younger 4dc follow his example.
What are the odds?

Mine both take insulated lunch bags (plain ones with fold over tops). They've never complained about them.

:) time will tell!!

My daughter is just going into year 8. I would say anything plain, whether it be Tupperware type lunch boxes or bags.

ds (15) started off taking lunch in a plain tupperware box, but stopped by the end of year 7.

He will sometimes take a ginsters sausage roll and always crisps/cereal bar/ chocolate biscuit, but a homemade sandwich is definitely too embarrassing.

(btw I'm going to report my post because the link on discussions of the day isn't working)

When people say Tupperware, do they mean like the clear Klip Lock boxes?
