We were told to stand up straight, to avoid slouching, our shoulders straight, etc, etc! but how many of us have brought this up to now and apply the value of good posture? May be 2 of our classmates? Or None? Unfortunately, many of us didn't listen to that advice, not minding such reminder because all we have been doing is to play, and so what happens to us now? We are actually burdened with the health problem s that bad posture is giving us. We are also struggling to get away with the impairment of our self esteem and confidence.
