Back pain (a.k.a. OUCH)

Okay, so even with today's day and age, we have even heavier backpacks. Dad and I were talking, and he said, in high school, he only needed 3 SMALL binders!
"How is that even possible," I asked.
"Folders," he says... FOLDERS!
For today's classes, you need AT LEAST 5 binders(Math, science, English, Social Studies, Foreign Language)!! AND folders- at least 4! The composition notebooks that we only use 5 pages of, pencils, paper, pens, highlighters, 5 pound textbooks, and it all HAS to go back and forth!!! Not that we don't need pens, paper, highlighters, and pencils, but come ON! They keep buying these text book on CD dealy-os, but they NEVER work! So we, young, little students, suffer severe back and shoulder pain with the back and forth of the supplies. Then, our doctors can't give us medication to deal with this pain, no, we'd get too used to it, and get an ulcer, and DIE! Oh, please! And you would think the pain would go away, or get better, and it does, on a weekend- by Sunday! Just in time for the pain to start all over again and worse this time! I liked it in kindergarten, when we had cubbies, to keep our pencils, paper, 1 folder, and an agenda. I'm sorry for my little rampage. In case you don't know, or don't care, or are having a blond moment, I don't deal with pain well, AT ALL. But when a 30-something year old picks up a 14 year-old's back pack and darn near falls over, that is a problem!

Why don't you get a wheelie backpack? or are those 'nerdy'?
What about your locker? Or do you not have time to stop b/n classes? Ohhh...you probably mean to come home w/ everyday. Yeah, that's a lot of stuff!!

They aren't allowed, and they don't fit in the lockers, not that they ever spend time there-ever!
I do! But there is still TONS of weight on my back! That too.
Yeah, right... she only does that to the litterbox, EWW!
