Mum’s anger as school confiscates 14-year-old son’s e-cig

in your opinion , did the school make the right call?

Well, considering you have to be over 18 to use one then yes absolutely

Where do i start

Yes.

God yes, I didn't even start smoking until 18.

The school's in the right. Plenty of people have quit smoking without the use of E-Cigs so that's not an excuse.

Really? You'd think you'd have enough sense by then to not start smoking, my excuse is that I was young and stupid :laugh:

no he should not smoke at 14

Do i take it his father is nowhere to be seen?

It says in the article that his father died when he was 12. :shrug:

i wonder if it was of lung cancer

Got the branding in the shot too....was this a news story or a marketing ploy?

Both

Good, surely it is not appropriate to be smoking anything in school? :laugh:

I think the main issue here is the silly woman thinking he cannot stop, take away all his bloody money and belt his bloody ears you silly cow

jesus

this mom should be in jail. this might be the chaviest thing i've ever heard of. this belongs on jeremy kyle, he'd sort it out.

Mother of the Year.

there are plenty of nicotine replacement therapies available sanctioned by Doctors and available via prescription if the child did indeed have a problem. I call bollocks on the whole story and see it as an advertising stunt too.

I would've been well pissed if the teachers had confiscated my joint at school:laugh:
We used to roll up in class and smoke weed at break time.lol.
If e-cigs are the worst thing kids are doing these days then things are definately improving.
I think the school should've given the devise to the parent to decide what to do with it.
The school has no right to keep something they did'nt pay for.

Is it even worth debating this though tbh

Of course the school was in the right. And there are 14-year olds these days doing much worse, too!

Bring back the ****ing cane

anyone that would use a cane on a 14 y/o should also be put in jail. use a cane on the ****ing parents if you are gonna use a cane on anyone.

Well well... another surprise for me that you who I had down as rather more straight laced NM. People keep shocking me with their wild child stories :laugh:

If he was my lad I would have got him smoking a pipe, like a man and not some girls e-cig thing

A bulldog comoy with some lovely 1-Q in it and he would have been quite happy

:clap1::clap1::clap1:

Gosh, you'd have hated life 20 years ago then.

20 years ago? A bit longer than that I think :laugh: I was in school more than 20 years ago and no teachers hit kids

I just realised 20 years ago was 1995 :umm2:

Where did the time go?!?!?!?!

You went to a 'nice' school Niamh. :laugh:

I didn't at all, I went to a pretty rough school teachers didn't hit kids when I was at school, they would have been sued and fired same as today. Hitting kids in school was more my parents generation which was alot longer than 20 years ago

We got belted at school with a good thick Lochgelly Tawse. 6 of that on the hands hurt like a bastard

At our school around 20 years ago.A lad in my class put a drawing pin on the supply teachers chair,The teacher made him sit on it.No lie.

Really? No way would anything like that have happened when I was in school and it was more than 20 years ago

Just shows.Can't really tell anything about people from forum posts.Some people can be quite intelligent and also a party animal:laugh:

Yeah, I was joking. I went to school a long time ago and the cane was normal for misbehaving - pretty bad incidents though admittedly. For persistent offenders, the old headmaster personally meted out punishment with a huge size 12 tennis shoe which he dubbed 'Big Bertha' after a World War 2 French Field Gun, I believe.

Yeah for real.We did'nt used to get beaten with canes though:laugh:

Intelligent people smoking drugs, is that an oxymoron? :laugh:

It's some kind of moron:laugh:
Disclaimer:I have'nt touched any whacky baccy for a long time when i was a yoof.

i once got the belt 12 times in 1 day ... teachers were sadistic so and so's in my day :D

Once in primary :umm2: i was to get the belt and the teacher went to another class to get it thinking it was there, whilst she was gone my pal stephen got the belt from his drawer and chucked it up on a cupboard, when the (woman) teacher came back muttering and looked her drawer inside out before saying that I was lucky she could not find it and i got off

:hee:

OMG you got the belt at PRIMARY :bawling:
