Kids with Heavy Backpacks




Kids these days on average for a fifth grader carry around a sac that is 1/3 their weight. We tend to live in this neive world that nothing could harm you or your children and that the hospital system will take care of everything.

I always warn people, life is not a fucking movie, it's far from it.

The country of America is falling far away from the standards of good living and good health. We busy ourselves that the economy is in turmoil, but why???... does anyone understand why? How about the gay marriage issue rights...? "it's a violation of church and moral traditions" ok... but why can't they be in a union for tax purposes, heritage rights, and simple hospital visitation? Ok, i guess you would deny some access to the emergency room where their partner, their best friend of twenty years lay dying... yeah because their gay. I'll get to these issues later.

This must and has to be relevant to a lot of parents or parents to be, or maybe you were at least a child once?

I ask you... no implore you to answer... why does a child need to carry around a heavy backpack 1/3 of their fucking weight!! why is their a hospital, a single hospital, claims that there are an estimated 1,000 students between 5-20 years old that ends up in the emergency room "complaining" of back pains each year. watch the videos from news casts.... they claim that it is the parents fault, it is the students improper usage of wearing the device... it is the parents for being a money stiff for not spending the damn money on superior back packs.... it is not. I repeat. is not the heavy contents that are in the bag that could cause all this trouble.

So they are three simple solutions to the problem: so what of it.

so lets try the usage of a backpack... ok. im going to video youtube for your viewing pleasure soon to show you...

so im taking the media news 3 advices they gave me....... i have a superior backpack, with the ribs for the lower back support even, wide straps, the chest and waste strap. now im packing it. two school backs: algebra and english... this is fifth grade stuff. um, binder, papers, pencils, a notebook.... weighing the bag on a scale: 19 lbs and something, it's an arrow scale not digital lol.

installing the backpack to my person... walking around.....

after walking around, this shit actually hurts... special after awhile, i have a stairs at the apartment and can feel the disposition going up and down. this might be something you can't help..... I only have 19 lbs strapped to myself... im 20 years old, and this hurts.

im not wearing 32 lbs like a seven year old was wearing on CNN wtf... and they just smile and film her in this position.

-----------------------------------------------------------

there has to be a better way than parents spending all the money, that's what im thinking.

-roller book bags are great but they still pull your back to the side if the weight exceeds 20 lbs plus there is potential that a student can trip over it.

-im thinking paper copies of books may help

-maybe introducing a simple easy carry digital e-book or oh, freaking cd rom!
school already have computers and most parents have computers, some don't have internet but this does not require internet. bam

20lbs of books would equal the weight of 120 papers clips. most kids carry that around on the bottom of the sac and not even know it.
