Interesting...I always slouch and have been told many times to sit up straight or I will have a bad back...I have never had any back problems, but many of the people that have told me to sit up seem to have back problems or some sort or another, even those who are younger. I always told them that slouching feels more natural to the body, and also that sitting up straight tends to put excess pressure on the lower spine and causes compression which over time may cause back problems. Anyways, its my 2 cents.
