text: Kids already have a lot on their plate. So now if there is another thing they have to do it could seriously stress them out. See we can't handle stress they are not used to it, but now that they have to take time to do an extracurricular activity it could be way too much for us. All this stress can also lead to anxiety. Anxiety is a terrible thing so thats why you cannot force us to do an extracurricular activity because it could lead to kids getting anxiety which is just terrible. So if we do have to do an extracurricular activity we would have way too much stress and eventually get anxiety.
