Need backpack etc. for grade nine?

Question

Hi, I'm going into grade nine in September and I was wondering what would be better to have, a backpack, shoulder bag, tote bag or what?

I'm getting a locker so I know that I don't need something huge.

Thanks.

=)

Answer 1

DON'T get a shoulder bag!!!! I did when I was a junior and ended up misaligning my back!! It's straight now but I had back pains and my shoulder was in constant pain.

Go with the backpack.

Answer 2

I would get the backpack because that way everything is centered on your back rather than everything on one side of your body.

Answer 3

a backpack its much easier to put everything in and it wont put as much presser on one part of ur body like a shoulder bag and tote bag.

Answer 4

tote bags since ur getting a locker

Answer 5

Yeah, get a backpack, and put both of the straps over your shoulders so that it will be easier on your back. If you get a shoulder bag, all that weight will be over one should and cause that one shoulder to hurt!

Answer 6

my brother is in highschool and he had to get a tote bag because his backpack wouldn't fit under his desk

i guess it depends on your school's desks

they're both good, though

good luck in highschool :]

Answer 7

do NOT get the tote or shoulder bag. Last year I made the huge mistake of doing this just because they were fashionable and I thought they would work out, but what really happened was quite different. I coulden't get through the hallways with people always bumping my toe/bag, I coulden't get all my books in there without it being so bulky I coulden't walk, and last of all it puts too much pressure on a single body part like shoulders. I would recomment a book bag even if they might not be "in" now. I found it to be alot less stressful to carry one around. There is no reason to complicate highschool with the problems that come with these bags, just go the easy way out.

Answer 8

backpack will be much helpful.

in highschool, i had both a backpack and a totebag- both fit in my locker (and that thing was tiny!)

i just had a ton of stuff like books and c**p to carry home... so my advice, keep the backpack.. it's gonna help you, especially if you take the bus.
