Winter jackets

Why is it that high school kids do not wear winter jackets while outside in the freezing cold and blowing snow? I know not all kids do this but holy cow it's freezing here down in Canada and I drove past a High School the other day and almost all the...

students I saw had no winter jackets on. What's up with this?

I can answer this from my point of view. I don't like to wear winter coats. I think they're too big and bulky. It's hard enough to make everything fit in my locker without one crammed in there lol. So during the winter, I just wear hoodies. I normally just walk to my car, school, and inside my house and that's it... except on an occasion or two standing outside for 20 minutes. I hope this helps you understand some teens better!!

I agree I am a 15 yr old in my sophomore year of highschool and winter coats are to big and bulky and dont fit in lockers even though i never use one I really dont have a need to I just carry all my stuff around n my bag. But yea they are big and bulky. Alot of them are too ugly too When I have to go to school and its really cold i just wear more than one pair of pants n how ever many shirts n a hoody

One simple reason, convenience! Jackets are not allowed in classrooms, and breaks are much too short to run to one's locker twice, so it's easier to brave the cold for a bit, then to be late for class, or simply to go through all that trouble! I live in Nova Scotia, and it's frigid... but high school kids are not going to wear coats cause it's a bit cold.
