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.

My bag was 22 pounds when I was around 14 years old. It was crazy to lug that much weight to school everyday. It hurt quite a lot in the beginning. Luckily, I didn't have to bear with it for long as my parents bought me an ergonomic bag- it reduces the pressure on the back (if i'm not mistaken) so I wouldn't have to hunch. It was a godsend.





You can go to this website for more info on ergonomic bags:

He complains about his shoulder hurting all the time and when I carry it for him it makes my shoulder hurt too. He is a car rider so he doesn't have to carry it long but his room is upstairs so he does his homework downstairs so he want have to carry it upstairs.
