I had a really heavy school bag

I'm a school bus driver and every so often I have to help a kid with their bag. Holy shit those things are heavy - seems like they weigh a lot more than the kid does. Why the fuck do kids have to carry so much heavy shit? When I was in grade school I didn't even have a bag at all.

Why the fuck do kids have to carry so much heavy shit?

Because some dumb ass adults decided we need to shove all this knowledge into their skulls whether they like it or not and we will make them carry it around needlessly using this shitty thing called "homework". School should end with the bell. Kids need free time too.

At least in my experience, sometimes, the kid may not actually have to carry that much stuff at all, and the reason they carry around such a heavy bag may be due to their own poor organization skills.
