To mums/teachers: what’s your thoughts on girls carrying handbags to school?

Question

I have a daughter who is in 8th grade/year 9 and has always wanted me to buy her a handbag for school. I think it is to impractical and so I have always said nope keep your rucksack. Also,I think it is too grown up for school. S C H O O L. Not a fashion show aha

Answer

What. Its just a purse. My kid can have one when and if they want one. I always carried a purse in school. Super practical. Tampons. Make up. Pens. Phone. Headphones. Wallet. Like cmon.

Answer

I started carrying a purse to school when I started my period so I could carry necessary supplies. It was also a better place to put lunch Money than my backpack, I always carried chap stick and make up, once I started wearing it and it’s a much safer place to put a cell phone , which I got when I started after school activities,  than a back pocket

Answer

Not a mom to a teenage girl, but I also used a purse to carry around in school with tampons, pads, etc. I didn’t want to make it for obvious that I really only needed it once a month, so I always had it. Once I went to high school, I kept my books in my locker and only carried the ones I needed with my purse. That in mind, at this age, it really is a fashion show and kids can be quick to point out the odd one out.

Answer

I don’t think it is over the top at all. Definitely let her carry a purse for tampons and pads if nothing else. Way less embarrassing to grab a purse in class than a feminine product.

Answer

I had one at 8th grade.  I was useful.

Answer

I wouldn't care. I don't carry a purse myself and I don't have daughters. But if I did, it wouldn't bother me if they wanted to carry one to school. My younger sister always did. I still don't, even as an adult.

Answer

Maybe have her pick a leather looking back pack? Feel of a purse but still practical! In high school I had a white vegan leather roxey backpack that I loved and still have lingering in a closet somewhere.

Answer

I always had a purse or pouch of some sort , inside my backpack! 
Used to put my money , phone , charger , body spray , mini deodorant , chapstick and pads !

Answer

I’ll be allowing mine to have small purses to carry their feminine products once that time comes

Answer

That’s what I used in high school, but I always use binders too so my important papers were in there and everything else was in my bag. They were cuter, lasted longer, and had more pockets.
