text: Another reason I agree that all students should at least participate in one extracurricular activity is because it can build new friendships with others. Students often have friends, but some people don't get to feel how its like to have someone on your back. So, if students have to participate in one activity, they can find new friendships with their local club members or council. In addition, this will also get people who already have friends some new friendships as well, by introducing them to new people, and getting to know them better than just simple classmates.
