What are some ways to improve my posture?

Seriously, it's horrible. I never sit up straight, especially when i'm at the computer which is most of the time. I'm getting worried, because my back is really starting to hurt. I'm only 18 too! If I don't improve it now i'm afraid it will get worse as I get older. What should I do? I'm in college so I don't have time for yoga classes, although i've heard that helps.

Any ideas? Thank you so much! :)

try to put your back against a chair for support and remeber to not crouch your back.

i do this- when you are at the computer pretend something is pullijng your shoulders back, just do it for awile and you will do it without even thinking the next 2 or 3 times

stand with your back against the wall for 10 mins a day and put your computer up higher so you looking up and sitting straight instead of bending your back.

Kinda nerdy but you could were a weightlifting belt when no ones around. That will keep your lower back straight.

I had the same problem as well even though Im a just a bit younder than you. Sitting straight and tucking you tummy in while sitting down would help.
Hope this helped
I wish you good health
