Facts about scoliosis?!


Question: Facts about scoliosis?
So in class the other day my teacher had yelled at me to sit up straight or else I would get scoliosis. My whole class then got in a discussion on this topic and debated if it would lead to scoliosis. My teacher is offering extra credit for people who do any research about this, so is it possible to get scoliosis from sitting how I sit in class and how I carry my backpack? (I sit so my body makes a C shape and my back is the outside curve, or is sit with my right leg crossed over my left and curve my back to the left and drop my right shoulder so most of my weight is on my left leg and my right leg barely touches the seat. I carry my backpack on my right shoulder and mind you have a good 4 textbooks plus binders).
Who is correct? me or my teacher?
