A big problem is not the weight they carry but the fact that it is "fashionable" to let the pack droop down the back. They do not cinch the straps up properly and the weight is pulling their shoulders back causing horrible posture. My 13 year old has this problem (I just weighed his bookbag and it comes in at 23lbs) and refused to cinch the straps properly.
