text: To start off, kids need something to be proud of. They may not be smart or maybe they just don't like their teacher. If they are not that smart, they feel stupid in front of their parents and friends. Being on a sport's team or in a club would make them feel like they accomplished something. For instance, kids may be getting a C average but they are the best actor in the drama club or have the best arm on the football team. Getting bad grades shouldn't make them feel like they don't have a purpose in life but rather signify that their purpose in life is not to be a rocket scientist or a chemical engineer but to use their skills to entertain their family, friends or fans.
