I saw a comment when I was searching "shailene woodley" from the secret life of the american teenager where you asked if scoliosis was caused by slouching and if your posture was affected by slouching if you assumed that posture; & yes - you can get Kyphosis [where you get a hunch back look, that a lot of older people tend to get] you can get that from slouching - Scoliosis you cannot. I have scoliosis & I have had it since I was 5. It caused one leg to be about 2 and something inches shorter than the other just because of the curve pulling one hip up a little farther than the other - i didnt need that leg to grow any further b/c it was touching the ground already; however it depends on the degree of curvature - mine was only 18 last checked & it does cause your back to hurt; usually just ache but mine was not by slouching ; i was five. ha seriously so no - & althought carrying a backpack on one shoulder can cause it to do that if you carried it like that hours at a time while you are growing still - its usuall a genetic thing or just
