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?

Answer #1

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.

Answer #2

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!!

Answer #3

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
