text: Extracurricular activities are good for kids especially teenagers. Most kids or teenagers get into trouble when they are bored or have nothing to do at home. I'm a fourteen year old and could tell anyone who wants to know, that joining an extracurricular activity helps you in so many ways. Some kids might think joining an extra activity isn't going to be fun. Once you join an activity and stick too it you'll begin to fall in love with it. While your at your activity you won't be doing things that could potentially get you in trouble. You'll feel like your activity is like a "getaway" from any and everything. Having your child participate in an extracurricular activity, would definitely benefit them.
