Get a backpack with lots of little mini pockets.

There are tons of pencil pouches at Wal-Mart if you were looking into that. Also, you could try buying another backpack that has a specific pocket for pencils and pens. If that doesn't work. Set a reminder or alarm either on your phone, or on your alarm clock at home "when you know you'll be there at night". Before you go to bed. Take 5 MINUTES out of every ngiht to make sure everything is organized. That way in the morning, when you wake up. You'll be a lot happier!

have a pencil case that you put pens, pencils, eraser, markers, etc. have a homework folder and put all your papers in there, homework or just handouts to give to your parents, and when you are done with your homework, put it in the appropriat binder or trashcan.

araange ur backpack every day after coming back from school by taking ou the extra stuff and puttin in the needed one

Buy a file folder and pencil pouch. Keep all loose paper in the file folder and pencils/pens/erasers/paper clips in the pouch. Keep food in your locker. That way the mice can find it easier. LOL!

i use 2 different 3 ring binders.
one for morning classes, one for afternoon classes.
this way, you dont have folders and notebooks everywhere.
plus you can decorate them yourself and make them look however you want. if you get the kind with the clear plastic sleeve on the frona nd back, its easy to change the look when you get tired of it.

well, i would recommend a pencil pouch. it's great for storing pencils, pens, highlighters, etc without them exploding in your bag or getting lost at the bottom. plus, you don't have to replace your writing utensils so much. you can just toss it in and you're good to go!
as for food, put it in a lunch box. as dorky as that sounds, you can at least keep the food altogether and your backpack clean, and you don't have to actually take the lunchbox out of your bag. and you can bring cold drinks or hot soup to school!

good luck! ta ta for now!

that happened to me last year!! well every night you can clean it out also designate certain pockets for your books and your lunch… and so on..

hope i helped!

you should organize it. first, you put pencils in a place where you know you can find them… for example, in you're locker. second of all, if you found paper all wrapped and stuff, you should put the important paper you need in a binder.well, that's all i can do to help you.

clean it our regularly like every weekend, and have seperate folders for each subject. get a few pencil poches and keep a zip-lock bag handy inacase u need to put something in it./

a clean backpack is one that is mantained regularly

get a backpack with lots of compartments so you have a place to put everything. Buy a pencil pouch to keep your pencils and pens in. And keep a little trash bag in your backpack to put trash in so you dont junk up your bag, you can empty it when you get home every day. Use folders to put stray papers in that you dont know what to do with at the rime. Then at the end of the day you can sort through it and find a place for the papers.

repack it every evening or at least once a week
just get on a regular schedule

Like all of the other people said, pencil pouch, folders, binders
My suggestion is to use all that and buy a backpack with more than one compartment, for example;http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=in_pe_recently-viewed-items_2/602-0282471-1616660?ie=UTF8&asin=B000OACZ36
