Character Reference Student Smoking Or Vape

Dear {school officials},

I am writing to vouch for the character of my {student/parishioner/family friend/etc.}, {Name}, who was caught with {cigarette/vape pen/cartridges/etc.} at {School Name}.

This incident, though a violation of school policy, was a youthful mistake. {Name} is fully aware of the rules, and I am confident this will not happen again. {Name} has already been counseled on the dangers of bowing to peer pressure, and their support system is here to ensure that they fully grasp the impact of respecting school rules as well as their health and that of others around them. {Name} is truly remorseful.

{Name} is a kind, respectful student with {good grades, leadership roles, volunteering, sportsmanship, or other qualities}. What they did was incredibly out-of-character.

While {Name} fully accepts responsibility for this error in judgment, they are young and still learning from their experiences. I urge you to consider this rules violation within the context of their overall character.

Thank you,

{Sender}
