Hello, I'm 13 years old and I have heavy backpack which causes lots of trouble for my back. How heavy should a backpack be for a 13 year old?

Answer
Through elementary and middle school I had big backpacks, while I hated them they straightened my spine (lol). When I got to highschool I had a very thin backpack you could say, I had a notebook some pens/pencils a folder with work in it and that was it, who needs anything more? All less than 3lbs. Many younger mids have bigger heavier backpacks because their parents find it "necessary" for them to have big ass backpacks with a million pockets. To sum this up TL;DR just keep the basics in your bag, don't haul 3 math books and a boulder you found at lunch in your backpack.

I am looking for a school bag for like 2 heavy books and the budget is £20-£30?

What to do about heavy bag for school?

Organic :)

it hurts my shoulders incredibly, but i have to carry around the books in the bag..

idk what to do because im in miserable pain during class.. every way i try and sit hurts.

Answer
I would suggest maybe some kinda side-bag to carry them all in or split them up between if you don't want to do the whole wheels thing. Maybe something like this: http://www.aceluggage.com/menu/products/fusion-24-inch-over-under-duffle-w-hidden-backpack-straps-2154.html
or some kinda messenger bag. That one at least has spiffy designs. If you want one that's just generally more colorful:

How to solve my back problem?

school bags too heavy image

DB

Okay so i am 15 this year. I constantly suffer from back pain mainly in my lower back and around my shoulders. I also carry a very very very heavy school bag everyday. My school's timetable has gotten really hectic this year. I start school at 6am and end around 5 or 6pm. Its insane. Now, my back hurts like crazy and because of that i cant walk straight. Even after taking 2 pain killers, it still hurts. Help? What should I do?

Answer
You have pinched muscles in your back causing the pains. To get rid of the pains you have to free up the muscles and here's how to free them up:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

What binder would be best for seven classes?

Brianna

Ok, so I'll be a sophomore in high school in September and since my bag was heavy last year, this year I just want to carry one binder big enough for all my classes. I want to get one big enough to to hold the notes, but not too big as to where I can't fit it into my bag. Also, do they sell white Sharpie Markers anywhere offline? I know they sell them, but I've only seen them online. I need it for decoration purposes.

Answer
One binder seems like it would need to be huge for seven classes. You might consider this alternative: two binders, one for your classes before lunch and one for your classes after lunch. It works for most students, since you'll normally have time at lunch to switch out. As for most office supplies, you can normally find what you need at Target, Wal-mart or Office Max.
