You can remove the other coats on your way to school when your mom is not watching or does your mom come with you to school?Annaliseee002 said:This morning I brought up wearing less clothes with my mother, I asked if I could go to school without one of my inner coats and she wouldn't let me. Even after telling her about how I swear in all those layers she still insists that I'll get sick if I wear any less.

It's nice that they're trying to make you comfortable adjusting to Canadian climate but maybe do some research on how people actually get sick with colds and flu (it's not by wearing light clothes, unless you are going into extremes like hypothermia).
foodie69 said:Wow.. just do what the others mentioned. Find a way to feel comfortable, there is really no need to dress that warm. I mean you go from your house onto the bus, car, train, and then to school and back home. Everywhere you go there is heating..but I am originally from Europe and used to 4 seasons anyway.

foodie69 said:Right, but for some people all of Canada is the Arctic (well, they behave that way). I'm in short sleeves today, by the way![]()

I can't imagine you wearing all those coats, they are heavy, I hate wearing heavy clothing!
foodie69 said:I start to think you are not quite what you want us to believe you are. I have my suspicion you being a troll.. No one can really wear that much. And even in Inuvik it is not that cold to justify all those layers.
