Am I allowed to carry an inhaler with me at school?

[Anonymous]

I was sitting in class when someone sprayed A LOT of perfume and my asthma started acting up and I had trouble breathing. I asked my teacher if I could go to the nurse and she said,."no because it's the first 15 minutes of class." So, I just sat there suffocating." And someone said, "she has asthma." And she wrote me a pass to go. I just want to know if I can carry an inhaler so I don't have to go through that whole awkward situation again.

Talk to your guidance counselor and the school nurse. They'll let you know what your school's rules are. Even if you aren't allowed to carry it around, they may notify the teaching staff that you are allowed to get your inhaler at any time and that they have to let you go to the nurse to use it, for example.

Of course you can carry one.

By the way, why would a teacher refuse your request to go to the nurse simply because it's the first 15 minutes of class?

I see absolutely no reason at all why you should be denied being able to carry an inhaler with you.. It can after all be a very serious medical condition, which should be viewed as such.

Surely a letter from your Doctor/GP should be suffice enough for your school to agree to allowing you to do so.

You most def can and should have it with you. You usually just need a note from your parents. Did you tell your parents about the teacher not letting you go?

Yes u should bring your inhaler with u at all times (even If the school says no, bring it anyway)

If it's a matter of life and death (which this is because breathing is required to live), just use it and don't give two fucks.

well some schools have different rules. You'd have to ask a higher up. I was allowed to but my health condition permitted me to

I would have thought it be allowed since asthma is a legitimate medical condition.

Yes you should be allowed to have an inhaler. I have asthma but it hasn't acted up for like 2 years but my doctor still gave me an inhaler to carry around for school. Just keep it in your backpack at all times.
