What kind of backpacks/bags do most High School kids use?

Stephanie

I'm going into High School and im not totally shure what kind of bag or backpack I would use? Cause I see most girls use something like a beach bag, i'm not really shure what those would be called.
Please help.

Answer
A few idea's:
Okay so most girls at my high school use big bags like you said because we have to bring our gym clothes, after school clothes (sports), lunches, ect.
So i bring on the days i have no after school activites and no gym class my vera bradley bookbag. I carry it and then when i go to lunch my lunch is in it, along with my normal things in my purse.

Another idea would be an across the chest bag. I have a coach one. They are around 100 dollars and are very in. you can put just the few things you need need in it for the day if you do not want to bring a purse. A lot of girls not just at school but in magazines ect. are using these.


Finally there is the big bag. Victoria Secrets Pink is a brand we all use. I have a Marc Jacobs one i caught on sale. American Eagle, Hollister, or Forever 21 will have one also that is trendy.

As far as the backpacks go we all use Northface. They are 100 to 200 dollars and are very in. you can order them online or get them from a sporting goods store like Dick's ect.
Hope this helps!
Good luck!

Just for fun! Are you having anything good for lunch?

Dell

I'm 36 weeks pregnant a mother of two and still proud of myself when I manage to put together a healthy, nutritious lunch that my kids and I both enjoy.

Suppers are easy-meat, starch, vegetable... And I have all day to prepare and think about it.

Lunch on the other hand seems to sneak up on me. It always seems like I'm cleaning up breakfast and last night suppers dishes, sweeping or doing whatever chores need to get done- and BAM! it's 12:30 and my four year old is "staAarving" or my two year old is "ungry"... So I whip together some pb&j or make mac and cheese.

BUT once in a great while I manage to actually think about lunch and pull something good together. Today it was homemade vegetable soup with whole wheat grilled cheese sandwich. I just took a can of tomato juice and added some frozen veggies and pasta. I even finished it off with warm oatmeal raisin cookies and a glass of milk! YUMMO!

SO...
My question is- Are you having anything good for lunch today? Or have any good healthy lunch ideas?
emrod- Thank you for being perfect! I wish I could be just like you and had children who ate everything I cooked and loved nothing but healthy food!
Unfortunately I live in the real world and I'm sure you do too.

Answer
I had our leftover tomato soup - it was actually from a can, Wolfgang Pucks, tomato basil, and it was awesome. We call it Pizza Soup to the kids. And also a grilled cheese.

Both were leftovers from yesterday.

The other thing our kids are into now is soybeans. Edame (sp?) We get them in the shell, and they are fun to shoot out. And put just a little soy sauce on them.
We also do a lot of frozen mixed veggie bags, the archer farms brand from target. They have some with fun shapes, like carrots in balls, and mini corns.

What are some quick and easy school lunches to make for kids?

nids1995

i need some good school lunches to pack for my kids.
they have to be quick and easy that i can do ahead of time.
like i have to out them in brown paper bags

Answer
cereal!!! put it in a plastic container with lid. when they get to the lunch room, they can buy the milk to add (35 cents now?). they can rinse it out (or just close it up if they are lazy) and bring the container home to reuse.

healthy cereals that are high in fiber and low in sugar (raisin bran, special k) are gonna be the best choice. the milk adds protein at a low cost, while the fiber in teh cereal will fill the kids up.

add sides of fresh fruit, baked chips, veggies, or other healthy snacks to fill out the meal. maybe a box of juice, or they can buy this at school also. trail mix makes a good hearty snack-type thing too, target has a lot of options. (just don't give too much, because nuts are nutritious but high in fat and calories).

of course, also the usual pb&j, lunchmeat & cheese, dinner leftovers, & ready made foods (microwavable containers of pasta & sauce, etc).

easy mac now makes bowls that all you do is add water to the bowl. or get the kind that needs your own bowl (cheaper) and just give the kids a plastic bowl to cook it in, with a lid so they can close it back up and not get everything all dirty when they bring the container home. (ps lines for the microwave might be too long for this to be a good option, your kids will be able to tell you).

i hesitate with the lunchmeats and/or leftovers ideas because those things need refrigeration (unless lunchtime is really early!). either buy an icy pack, or freeze their beverage (capri sun works great!!) to keep the lunch cool.

You mean the screechy C&W fiddles and the whiney squealing tones of Lady Antebellum or whatever.

What are those shopping carts that old ladies carry around called and where can I find a cheap one at?

MsAnnieTyl

Not sure what category this fits in, but...OK, if you've ever been inside any store in America, commonly a grocery store, chances are you've seen an old lady or two pushing around those wire baskets on wheels that have a handle on them (NOT the shopping carts in the stores) that kind of resemble baby strollers or rolling suitcases in a way. Not being the owner of my own personal automobile, or even a driver's license, it would be VERY useful for me to have one of these for carrying some groceries or other purchased goods on the bus instead of having to lug them around like I did with my books in high school before I ditched that teeny little pink backpack that I could barely fit my lunch into...But I ramble! So, the main question is, what are those rolling baskets called and where can I buy one for myself? I heard from a friend that they have them at Costco for $40, but I bet there are cheaper ones out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
They've got all sorts of names, but. Here's a $25 one at Target; http://www.target.com/p/4-Wheel-Folding-Utility-Cart-Black/-/A-12227262?reco=Rec|pdp|12227262|ClickCP|item_page.adjacency&lnk=Rec|pdp|ClickCP|item_page.adjacency

Possible search terms --> 'folding' 'shopping' 'trolley' 'cart' 'luggage' 'utlity' 'wheeled'

If you are going to be using it a lot it is worth it to get a good one (speaking as an ex-urbanite, ex-non-driver)...

Would this lunch "bag" be ok for high school?

So, yeah. Ill be a freshman in a few days (pray for me lol) and I don't like ordering. I'm shy... so yeah. Plus I just want to bring my lunch. I know a lot of people say "put it in a brown bag" but I think that's just a waste!

Anyways, Ill probably keep it in my locker or something til lunch. What do you think of it?

Answer
Yeah that's definitely mature enough for a high schooler. it's not crazy colors, and it's not a crazy pattern so i think it'll be just fine :)

HIGH SCHOOLERS: Do you bring your lunch to school and if you do, what do you bring it in?

ashleigh

Do you use a lunch box, a brown bag, etc.? Just let me know please!!! If you use a lunch box, what kind is it and where did you get it?

Answer
When I was in high school, I would bring my lunch to school in a brown bag. It is too immature to use a lunch box.

As a school kid did you brown bag it for lunch, what was typically in the brown bag?

Q. When I was a kid they had school lunch, but the fee was 25 cents, so only the rich kids did that, the majority of us had a brown bag.

Answer
It was just me and my mom and money was beyond tight. At my grade school you could get a "free" lunch, but you had to work for it. After everyone else was through eating, all of us poor kids would stay in the cafeteria and wipe down the tables and sweep the floor. I don't think it hurt us at all to learn at an early age that there is "no such thing as a free lunch". I grew up not expecting anyone else to take care of me and understanding that I had to earn my own way.

Can you imagine the response this would cause?

what do kids think of school lunch?

Q. what do kids think about eating school lunch?

Answer
I used to like the school food until the new healthy eating program came in... Thanks Jamie Oliver!... And now I hate the school food! My school sells apple flavoured crisps, sounds great doesn't it?...

When the new healthy eating program came in I saw it as eat the school food, take a packed lunch or starve. I decided to take a packed lunch (when my school bag isn't too heavy) and starve. But now im allowed to leave my school, so I get food from shops. Some people used to leave the school at lunch which was against school rules to get something decent to eat.

Message to Jamie Oliver: You have created more problems:
- People leave the school site to get something to eat
- School's funds have decreased
- Some people don't eat proper meals or don't eat lunch, because of this disgusting food
- What about people who don't like vegetables, everything is for vegetarians / vegans

By the way im not against healthy eating. But not everything should be vegetables and fruit. People should have a choice of what they want to eat.
