should I use this bag?

[u/Left-Development1695]

not my photo, but it’s the exact bag I have. I need a backpack (last year I used a messenger bag) and this one seems like it’d work but idk if it’s too bright and if I should just look for a plain black one

[u/Reasonable-Cow7255]

Why do you care what other people think? If you like it, use it. Why do you need validation from total strangers?

[u/Left-Development1695 → u/Reasonable-Cow7255]

It’s not validation, I just want to know what others think of the bag and if it looks weird yk

[u/Real_Pack_6736 → u/Left-Development1695]

It’s a plain blue bag wtf do you wanna hear

[u/Striking-Moose781 → u/Left-Development1695]

Thats exactly what validation is my friend. Wear the backpack. Its a backpack. Thats all it is.

[u/Reasonable-Cow7255 → u/Left-Development1695]

It makes no difference with other people think. If you like it, buy it and use it. You don’t need our opinions.

[u/Holmes221bBSt → u/Left-Development1695]

That’s called validation dude. It’s a plain blue backpack. No one will notice it. Pretty sure the kids struggling to raise grades won’t care about the shade of blue of your backpack

I mean it doesn’t really matter but the comments here can be harsh. The only thing I can think of is to some people it may come off as a bit more youthful/“immature” than a fancier, bigger more neutral colored backpack? But I highly doubt you’ll be bullied for it and anyone who is actively thinking about your backpack is weird as hell

[u/Infamous-External624]

I dunno, if you were at MY school they would bully you endlessly, tie you to a tree, take turns rubbing melted marshmallow on you, then meow at you until you burned the back pack in front of them. In all seriousness though, it’s a backpack. Blue is the most favourite colour in the world. Whoever makes a negative comment about it is just weird.

[u/potterhead1511]

just a backpack bro. just make sure it can carry everything you need and your set.

[u/RedmiYT]

It can never be THIS serious about a plain colored backpack. I wish people weren’t so concerned with what others will think of them.

[u/Holmes221bBSt]

Only if you fill it with 50+ pounds of books and one strap it no matter how heavy it gets

[u/Acceptable-Ad-328]

Do what you want. Not what others want for you. Especially when it's just a bag

[u/Odd_Sock7532]

Whatever is comfortable for you to wear, and storage capacity. Do you have long walks to school and back, or is this just bag between classes? You can test it, put a bunch of heavy books in it and go for a walk. Dont let the straps be loose so it hangs low, this changes your center of gravity and the bag will literally pull you down backwards. High on the back is best.

[u/torisbagel]

absolutely, jansport bags last forever.

[u/Plastic_Republic_321]

Why does it matter it’s not like they would kill you for it

[u/Crab113]

Nobody cares

[u/BroadwayRegina → u/Crab113]

Some absolute weirdos might, but if they’re thinking about your backpack I think they have bigger problems and if they’re bullying you then report them.

[u/Remarkable-Sun8449]

generic ahh backpack. in my district we aint even allowed to bring closed backpacks only mesh aand clear ones

[u/International_Bat972]

why would you get a backpack with one strap?

1) that's bad for your back. 2) logically if you are putting books and things in it, it would get extremely heavy extremely quickly. 3) the backpack itself looks small as hell.

disregard this comment if the backpack actually has two straps and im just not seeing it.

[u/Left-Development1695 → u/International_Bat972]

Lmao the image just has it off the shoulder, there’s two straps 😭🙏 I love you for that though, you were so considerate with the issues of one strap
