Purses in school

I don't get why girls carry purses in general, let alone to high school. It seems unpractical, and generally has the opposite effect on guys than it's assumed intended purpose. You don't need anything to be yourself. It may get hard, but know who you genuinely are and stick too it, then you have nothing to loose.

Your question is not stupid.
The supposed "stupid" questions are always the best questions. Because people are too afraid to ask them, they never get answered, exept by some small chance of luck. It helps other people too, much more than you think. Keep on asking "stupid" questions. It honestly helps people.

It's cool if you don't carry a purse, but if you carry one that's cool too. Having a purse seems pretty convenient since you can carry all kinds of cool things in there, like electronics and tater tots and stuff. It kind of makes me jealous sometimes and it makes me wish I had at least a man-pouch or something.

It doesn't matter to guys at all, honestly. It doesn't make you look more or less mature, and there's no reason you should carry more stuff around than you need to. At the very least, you won't come across as high-maintenance!

And you're under age? I really don't care what girls carry to school, even during high school, but I'm a bit different from most guys so I can't give you a typical guy's opinions.

I never carried a purse in school, I had a great bag for books with pockets to carry lip gloss however. I was cheerleader, there wasn't a need for a purse - with all the other stuff I had to worry about.

It's not a stupid question at all! I don't carry a purse. And I used to worry about it also until I got to college and saw that most girls don't carry one. I'm not a guy, but I'm sure they don't care if you carry one either. It's no big deal. It's just what you prefer! :)
