Is it better to hold schoolbooks in your hand or to place them in the schoolbag?

Question

i've seen some people at school hold heavy books tied with a book strap in their hands instead of carry them in their bags. so im wondering: is it better to carry books in the bag or in the hands? like will holding the books in the hands relief stress on the joints of the shoulders or something? will carrying the books in your bag stump growth? etc

Answer 1

School bag would be easier. Plus by holding your books you have more of a chance of dropping them in the hall and that would suck  

Answer 2

school bag doesnt effect you at all

i always thought people holding them in their hands looked stupid  

Answer 3

Put small books in your bag and carry some BIG books in your hands because this will make you look CO_OL.

=)

Answer 4

Well it is better to put some in your bag and then some in your hand to balance the weight.

Too many books will strain your back

Plus when you have them in your hands you look studious

Answer 5

try balancing it out

i mean like don't be all like I'll hold them all and then fall down and hurt your arms and be embarrassed but don't put them all in your book bag because this could hurt your back later years in life. Ask my brother he has terrible pains because he always put all of his books in his book bag and mom said that is too many books and now he has really bad back problems. So anyways put 1/2 in you back pack and the other half in your arms, or actually put some in your locker, you don't have homework from all subjects every night do u?

Answer 6

it is mostly up to you.

whether there will be stress on joints or back depends not only on the weight but on the angle of the hand, wrist, elbow. etc.

Answer 7

if style is concerned ,in this case hold some in your hand and not a huge bundle of it.if comfort is concerned put it in your bag.

concedering both,

hold some in hand and put some in bag

Answer 8

it depends on the books that ur holdin

Answer 9

if i were u, i would rather place it in a bag so it will not be difficult to carry it. because if you would carry your books, there is a tendency that you might drop it and it would consume much of your time.
