| Call me lazy, sure. Ok, really, you might think kids are overeacting when they come home from school and say they are tired. My parents tried the argument, "Well, I went to your school too, I know what it's like to run all over it." Alright, that was when there were 900 - kids there, now there are 1400+ in a school that has halls made for 900 kids to travel through. Just traveling can be almost impossible. My mom also complains about the weight of my books. Wanna talk tired arms? I am small built, i.e. little arm muscle. I'm also carriying hardback books. One of which has 1504 pages... all over school. yes, lockers are great, but you can't always stop by there.
I really wish I could find the weight of all my books, then i would weigh my notebooks... Hmm..
Yeah, when I get sick, I usually have to have some friends help me carry my books because they are so heavy and i'm weak from being sick.
Then also, factor in extracurricular activities. Marching band is a biggie for me. Pushing mallets across a field, or bringing them up the elevator (we can't fit them between the guardrail, otherwise we would attempt to push them up this huge hill), my calfs kill...
I don't think it is kids getting lazy, I just think it is the insane school and stuff...
Plus, I take aerobics at school.
