Backpacks, Phones, Sports: Why Teens Need to Start Caring for Their Bodies Now

Teenagers are more active than we realize—and their bodies are still growing and developing. Whether it's carrying heavy backpacks, spending hours looking down at a phone, or playing school sports, young people often experience joint and muscle strain without understanding the long-term effects.

Common issues include:

• Tech neck from looking down at phones or laptops
   
• Shoulder and back pain from carrying uneven schoolbags
   
• Muscle soreness from intense or unbalanced sports training
   
• Poor posture from sitting slouched in classrooms
   

Teaching teens to care for their bodies now can prevent issues down the road. Encourage:

• Proper backpack usage (both straps, not overloaded)
   
• Daily stretching routines
   
• Warm-ups and cool-downs during sports
   
• Breaks from screens every 20–30 minutes
