Started with one strap, moved to two. Like @kiddosc: we wore them down over our butts LOL</p> <p>ETA: We didn't have lockers at my high school either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1219299 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 12:53:04 +0000 MrsSCB 1219299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One strap. My high school also didn't really have a problem with theft, so we wouldn't really keep our backpacks in our lockers but would carry them around and then throw them on the floor different places and just kind of leave them there. The one-strapping made it easier to just toss them down all the time, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1219295 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 12:50:19 +0000 HabesBabe 1219295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One strap-- we had lockers so we would only need to carry two classes' worth of books at a time. I used a messenger bag in college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216565 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:36:22 +0000 Penny Lane 1216565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>neither! well, one technically, because my bag only had one strap! i had a canvas shoulder bag satchel thingy. i'm not even sure what it's called. but i wore the strap so long the bag almost hung around my knees. i was soooo coooool. (NOT ;) )</p> <p>ETA: i'm jealous of all of you who had lockers! my high school didn't do lockers :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216547 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:31:22 +0000 MamaMoose 1216547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a shoulder bag in high school. No backpack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216546 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:31:14 +0000 LuLu Mom 1216546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really carried a bookbag in HS, I went to my locker between classes to get the next book. I think if I did have it I did 2 (which I think was cool?) haha I don't think people cared! haha I did two in college because it was heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216540 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:29:45 +0000 spaniellove 1216540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was forced to two-strap it and have it all the way up because my books were so heavy. It was "in" at my HS to have the giant Jansport backpack, plus I didn't know my locker combination and had to ask my locker partner every few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216484 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:15:18 +0000 Freckles 1216484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 strapped...and then paid for it by going to the chiro at the young age of 12. </p> <p>Did you watch 21 Jump Street? I loved that scene about the 1 strap vs 2 straps!</p> <p>ETA: oops, just clicked on the link and saw that it was referring to the movie. hahaa </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216458 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:09:35 +0000 MapleMoose 1216458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was against the grain and two strapped it. I just didn't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216325 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:44:30 +0000 Mae 1216325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone one-strapped it in school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216317 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:43:10 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1216317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Whaaaaa? </p> <p>I did two straps because I couldn't seem to get the hang of one strap... yes, I'm a dork. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216311 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:42:09 +0000 artsyfartsy 1216311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't allowed to have backpacks. So I used a tote bag or just carried one book at a time or however many I needed and a purse.</p> <p>Now that I think about it, why were we allowed tote bags but not back packs? Not like I couldn't fit a gun in my tote bag. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216302 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:41:08 +0000 Mamaof2 1216302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: me too!</p> <p>One in high school, Two in college! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216253 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:35:22 +0000 kiddosc 1216253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two, but it was cool to have two straps and have them be totally loose so your bag was down by your butt. So ergonomically incorrect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216215 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:26:33 +0000 littlebug 1216215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One in high school.

Everyone two strapped. And almost everyone carried all their books always so we had to two strap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216197 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:21:40 +0000 Torchwood 1216197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two usually, but it never even occurred to me to do it one way or the other because it was cool. I went to a magnet high school, and had lots of books, so I needed the support of two for all the weight. It wasn't uncommon to see people using the chest strap too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216147 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:08:49 +0000 tlcbaby 1216147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two - I wasn't cool enough to one strap it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216144 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:07:55 +0000 Alivoo01 1216144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had to be two because I carried ALL my books with me! There wasn't enough time in between bells to go to my locker and swap out books. I think I'd be lopsided permanently if I one-strapped it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-one-strap-or-two-strap-your-backpack-in-high-school#post-1216135 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:04:54 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1216135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two!
