You will not die, but sitting slouched rather than sitting up straight, can lead to curvatures of the spine which can need surgery to be repaired. Also, the way you hold yourself, whether straight, at an angle, etc. tells your muscles and bones how to grow and it can become harder and harder to actually sit up perfectly straight.
We should probably all work on our posture more!

I don't believe that you will die....but they are right you do need to sit up straight...cuz it will hurt your back in the long run. I wish I would have had parents that would have been more on me about my posture and now because of it, I do have a bad back and I have to make myself now at 32 sit up and make a point of it. So yes listen to your parents and sit up straight but no you wont die.....hope this helps

Calm down, no you wont die. But having good posture is always helpful. You could get serious problems later in life. Have you ever seen a little old lady walking all hunched over? they dont do that for fun.

They are correct in that if you do not have good posture, you will have back problems when you get older. I have a habit of slouching my shoulders forward and now have pinched nerves in my arms and neck - not pleasant. If you sit correctly, you relieve the stress on various joints and nerves, thus keeping yourself from problems down the road.

Please listen to them. I never learned to sit up straight, and I think it is one of the most unattractive things about me, or anyone else I see slouching so. I don't think you will need surgery because of it, but it'll make you look thinner, and prevent back aches when you are older. I know you don't want to listen to you parents, but listen to me!!!

right. you are still growing in your body. sitting in an off balanced way will warp the spine if it goes on for a long time.
Try good posture for a while :)

you won't die but having bad posture can cause serious back problems later in life
it's best to take care of your back now instead of dealing with the problems later
