Help! I need to organize my HUGE backpack?
I have an enormousJansport backpack I need for my high school classes. It’s literally twice as wide as my torso (as seen from the side) and I’m not even super thin. It’s so embarrassing because I always accidentally hit people behind me (amid shouts of “****ing freshman!!” D:). I don’t have much time to run to my locker (only before school, before lunch, after school) because my classes are scattered throughout my huge two-story high school–conveniently on the other side of the school from my locker. Here’s what I have, please help me figure out how to downsize!
1. 2.5 inch binder with dividers needed for History/English, contains expanding file folders. It also holds extra notebook paper and index cards (needed for science). This binder contains my SOUL.
2. 3 big “Five Star” notebooks (you know, the ones with heavy-duty plastic covers and cardboard backs)
3. Comp book for science.
4. Pencil bag (1 pencil, 4 highlighters for history, graphing calculator, 1 multi-color pen, extra lead).
5. Two baby-killingly heavy textbooks (science, math). YES I need both of them at all times.
6. Planner (not a big deal, I can shove it inside my binder lol).
7. Lunchbox (includes one of those round space-consuming therma-bowl things with a lid. my parents don’t let me use anything else to bring my food). And, of course, an “ECO-FRIENDLY” STAINLESS STEEL water bottle. Also my parents’ idea. Apparently the trace amounts of plastic chemicals in smaller normal bottles will kill me before my 32-pound backpack will (I weighed it). The lunchbox and bottle I put in my locker before school, but I have to keep them in my backpack for the last two periods because I can’t run back to my locker after lunch.
8. blahblah a few emergency feminine products, small coin pouch, cell phone, misc. I don’t even carry those makeup boxes that a lot of other girls use.
HELP. How can I organize my things?? How could I persuade my parents to ditch the water bottle and therma-thing? How do I relieve this awful back pain?? This extra weight is even killing my legs ):

The other end of school to carry everything all notebooks as well as well as well as all notebooks as well as all the subjects into separate binders and do you really have back pain.
My binders so did not have back pain regularly you can put things away or ask them to work it out if you.
My binders and drink in smaller container do you should reduce the subjects into separate binders and ask them to school to work it out if you can put things more often spend.
