What is it with teens and the need for a surplus amount of chewing gum to take to school?

[Guest]

Whenever I go shopping and ask what they want it's always top priority.

In my day it was to hide the fact I was smoking.

Chewing gum is banned at our school and too right especially when the kids stick it on the chairs and thinks it’s funny when it goes all over people’s school skirts!

We used to sell it in school. Wringleys 20p a strip

I was chewing gum obsessed in school I didn’t smoke though it was just something to do during lesson.. and cured a bit of hunger.

Chewing gum actually deactivated the fight or flight response linked to anxiety… so, I never went a day of school without it! I can’t do a driving lesson without it either.

My daughter was always worried about the smell of her breath, especially after lunch. That's why she always wanted gum for school xx
