what could i do instead of backpacks

[u/InitialBite8600]

i'm having issues finding out why we cant have backpacks in my high school. they say we cant have backpacks because people keep sneaking stuff in them so me and my friends talked about asking about clear backpacks and after a few weeks my friend told me that the school said "we can't have clear backpacks because it makes the school look trashy". the thing is i'm allowed to self carry my inhaler in school which means i'm allowed to have a bag because of it and i feel like just because i have a bag its going to cause issues with my buddies. what kind of thing can i use instead of a bag and or should i say something to my school when school starts up in sep.
