Seriously? I dont know how old you are but they have been making books bigger and giving us more homework in the past few years. Carry an average high school students backpack around for a day and feel for yourself that it has nothing to do with video games

Joshy, everyone plays Halo 3 now, get with the times haha.

And that giant orange Kohls backpack has an xbox 360 in it.

anyone who’s ever had/lived with someone who had back problems would do anything they could to avoid it. it’s like being 90. except your hands and eyes still work. and yoda’s wrong – the size and weight of objects does matter when you’re trying to move them with your mind. i can only get the remote to wiggle a little on the counter.

but yes aaron – most kids’ injuries these days can be traced back to halo 2.

there is, however, that kid with the giant orange kohl’s backpack that’s so full it’s a cube – which leads to lean-walking, where the child eventually needs back-weight to keep him/her from falling forward when walking without said backpack.

i tended to be a ‘why is he even wearing a backpack?’ kid. i forgot my books a lot, due to a kick the can injury to my brain. so see, it all evens out.

Whatever happened to an old belt strapped around the books as the kids walked to school uphill both ways in the snow with no boots?

ARodg – Agree with you on the video games.

If there is an increase in “back injuries” due to backpacks, it is probably most likely due to kids becoming fragile by playing video games all day…

“Orthopaedic” is the British spelling.
In America, it’s “Orthopedic”.
