School supplies survive teenage antics

Throughout the course of life, objects go through wear and tear.  School is a place where the hustle and bustle of scurrying from on class to another causes the most damage to things.  Students are more prone to bump into each other, drop things, forget important objects, and on occasion get a little too excited to play wall ball and throw their belongings on the ground.  A person from each class was surveyed on how long some of their belongings  last. This was meant for comparison to see if age affects the likelihood of an object being damaged.
