School Backpack

Just get a cool back pack, trust me shoulder packs can do damage

the ‘just do it ‘ back packs are really nice :P its what all the ‘cool’ kids have Lol

I can understand the reason for your mother being concerned. When I was still in school, I used a shoulder bag too. It caused me to always have back problems so I agree with your mom very much. Backpacks are a much better choice because they provide equal balance to your back… rather than weighing down one side like a shoulder bag.

Agreed with the above. There’s really no point in fighting this, and in 5 years when your spine isn’t curved, you’ll be glad your mother made you take care of yourself. You’ll have your spine for the next 70+ years. You’ll only be hanging around people who give a crap what you carry your books in for another 5.

Check out the Ameribag Healthy Back Bag…it is a shoulder bag, but is built different than regular shoulder bags…once you’ve checked them out at their site…

Personally, I like the NES controller backpack, but that’s just me…

I think you should accept the fact that you have to have a backpack, for health reasons, but don’t worry. You can buy really funky ones from roxy and quiksilver and animal and some other places. Its your choice: fashion or health
