A survey question for all junior high/high school students: How heavy is your backpack?

If you are related to a student, you may answer as well. And please state his (or their) grade, also.





P.S. Also state for how long you carry the backpack around and how much your back hurts (if at all) after carrying it.

Reply:I'm in my last year of high school (Yr 12 here) and carry it for about 20-30minutes min a school day and that's just walking home.


I'm not sure how much it weights and would be scared to find out, usually i have to take things out and carry them in my arms, my bag is that heavy. I would take a guess at between 5-15kgs depending on the amount of h/w i have.


I do get back pains every now and again, especially as on top of my bag, my causal job requires a bit of heavy lifting and as a girl and not particularly strong, its hard going.

not really hurting, just feels the need to stretch.
