Today I want to talk to you some of the things that high school girls always carry around. I will also introduce the items that Japanese and overseas high school girls bring with them. First, here’s what Japanese high school girls carry when they go out on weekend. When they go out on weekdays, they often use shoulder bags, tote bags, or purses. Many Japanese high school girls carry around a smartphone, handkerchief, makeup pouch, wallet, earphones, handheld fan, water bottle, small snacks, etc. Many Japanese high school girls care about their appearance, and their makeup pouches contain mirrors, lip balm, eye shadow, foundation, face powder, perfume, etc. Also, many of them have bangs, which are a characteristic of Japanese girls, and many of them take good care of them. For that reason, many of them always carry a hairbrush or hair iron. They also go to school on weekdays. Although it depends on the school, most schools have designated school bags. Chukyo High School, where I go, also has a designated school bag. It is brown with green strings and does not look cool. However, you can make it look cool by decorating it. That is why many high school girls attach key chains or small dolls to their school bags. Popular characters are Disney and Universal Studios characters, and Japanese anime characters. They put many textbooks, pencil cases, wallets, makeup pouches, snacks, water bottles, smartphones, books, lunch boxes, gym clothes, etc. in their bags. Also, students at schools that do not have designated school bags use backpacks or tote bags and put similar things in them. Also, when they go to club activities on weekends, they often carry their sports clothes, wallets, lunches, smartphones, water bottles, and other items they will need for club activities in backpacks. There are also club activities that have designated bags. Next, I will introduce what high school girls overseas have. I studied abroad in Canada last year as a second-year high school student, so I will mainly talk about high school girls in Canada. High school girls in Canada are grades 9-12, which is different from Japan, and there are 4 years of school. It seems that Canadian high school girls carry relatively little luggage when they go out on weekends compared to Japanese high school students. Many of them use small shoulder bags. When I looked up the contents of their bags online, I found that they had smartphones, wallets, and some makeup. However, many of them were holding tumblers in their hands. They had Starbucks or Stanley tumblers. It looked overseas and very cool. I have never seen any of them carry a hairbrush, air iron, or handheld fan. I feel that this is different from Japanese high school girls. Many students used backpacks on school days. I don’t think there are designated school bags in Canadian schools because I don’t know any students who use designated school bags in Canada. There are also no designated colors, so they used various backpacks such as black, pink, white, green, red, and blue. There were not many students who had many key chains like Japanese students. The brands that many students used were Kanken, Jansport, and Herschel. They put a pencil case, a few notebooks, a computer, earphones, a water bottle, a lunch box, and snacks in those bags. Unlike Japanese high schools, they don’t need to put many notebooks and textbooks because they mainly use computers in class. It’s very convenient. Also, some students used bags like suitcases, which was very interesting. As you can see, the items that Japanese and foreign high school girls carry and the bags they carry them in are different. Although the items that people carry and the most important items differ, there are some things that are convenient and useful to carry around. It’s very interesting to look into it, so if you’re interested, you can do so.
