Body sprays should be banned in schools because they have a negative impact on a student's mental and physical state. I have experienced the effects of body sprays first hand because I am a grade 10 student in a high school in Mississauga, Ontario. It was there that I noticed that when people excessively use body sprays, others in the school get affected. You can feel how strong it is when there is a lot. It affects our brains which for students is a serious problem. It affects us as students because it causes students to focus less in school and have more headaches. In the long term, we still do not even have enough information to tell us what it can do to us exactly but with all the chemicals in the body sprays, it can't be good. Body sprays have a chemical called Parfum in it which is also in almost anything which has an artificial scent. Parfum is what you see in ingredients as parfum or fragrance. It can cause allergies, migraines and asthma. This was said by the world renowned scientist, David Suzuki. Students spend almost as much time at school as they do at home so why is something as dangerous as this not regulated in schools? An alternative that students can use is deodorant sticks. As the picture shows some schools are already starting to ban body spray. I hope that the Peel District School, the Ontario Provincial Government and the Canadian Federal Government take the required steps in order to ban the use of body spray in school. However, no one is going to take me seriously if I am alone. I need your help! Parents and students who want to help make school a safer place. A couple hundred people can change the lives of many students and future students so that school is safer for generations to come.
