text: "Will they be able to keep up?" "Will they be able to do this without getting too stressed out?" "Do they have too much homework?". Extracurricular activities should be optional because students should choose what they want to do or they don't want to do, they are freethinking. Imagine you've gotten into an argument, you don't know what to do or what you should say to the person you had just fought. You're completely stuck. Many people have to deal with these types of situations multiple times throughout their lives. They just don't know what to do. Some people make decisions on their own, and others decide to take advice from others. Some even self reflect on their own opinions and then decide to seek help from others to listen to their opinions on what to do. I believe seeking more than one opinion from others helps make better choices by helping you see many different sides of a situation, you'll know what is the best thing to do more than if you just heard one opinion, and you'll personally feel like you made a better choice.
