text: By forcing each kid to do an extracurricular activity they could feel so overwhelmed and sad they become depressed. Depression is just so sad and all of us could avoid ever feeling depressed in our lives as long as you don't make us do an extracurricular activity that will probably take up half of our day. The other half would go to trying to finish our homework/projects/essays for school. You see in that schedule there is no time that they have to spend with their loved once, or do things we love. That will really take a toll on a person. They will have no time to do anything except do their extracurricular activity,and trying to finish our schoolwork. This depression will just keep on chipping away at the person, and they will never be able to go back to feeling happiness. All because they had to do an extracurricular activity that took away all their time.
