Too Heavy to Handle
Even after our school district started issuing kids two sets of textbooks (one for school, one for home, so we wouldn't have to lug them back and forth every day), the too-heavy backpack issue was still a problem with me. I was too lazy to go to my locker between periods, so I regularly ended up carrying 20 lb or more around my high school campus.
One not-so-good friend made fun of me for it - he'd catch me bent over under the weight of my books and call me "hunchback." (And I had horrible posture even without the extra weight.)
There's a good solution. Digital textbooks are becoming more and more common. Weighing in at around 5 lb (for the laptop you'll need to view them), not only are they lighter than paper textbooks, they're dogear-immune, and they're tree-free. A totally innovative way to end the textbook-induced hunchback problem...
-Toshio...off to walk with a textbook on my head...
