Can carrying a heavy school bag give you problems later in life?

school bags rucksacks image

My school bag is really heavy, and it hurts my back but I have no choice but to carry it. :(
Will I have back probs later in life?
I mean am I more likely do develop back problems? I already find it difficult to maintain a good posture, I'm always slouching. It's not comfortable for me to sit up straight. :(
Thanks, much appreciated

Answer
Not likely. I am in the Army and I've been carrying around 70lb+ rucksacks + medical aid bags around 5-6 days a week on a regular basis for years, and I have developed no back problems, so I doubt a little 15lb bookbag will cause it.

Anyone know where i can buy a orange or black rucksack?

I really want a new school bag, and i would really like a orange or black rucksack (orange more preferable).
I live in the UK and dont have to much money to spend (£30 max). It also needs to be medium sized and strong.
