text: The last reason why I agree with our principal on making kids do an extracurricular activity is that it can help you with your emotions. Generic_Name stated that "Most kids or students who end up doing an extracurricular activity is actually relieving off stress and anxiety." I know for a fact that that can help you loose stress. One way that I love to loose stress is by working out and playing basketball, football, and lacrosse. All of these things get my mind off things very easily, and they also make other things going on around me less stressful. Over the last couple of years kids have been on their video games and phones a lot, and its causing a distraction to their mental side of life. Kids are getting more depressed second by second by just playing video games. I know for a fact if they try something out doors, then they wont be as depressed or hopeless. Kids deserve so much more in the world.
