text: My last reason why I agree is that you can meet new people and develop social skills. I think meeting new people is important because you need to have some people that you can count on and that can help you through something. You never know when you could meet your best friend for life. Also if you try something new and you meet new people, you develop social skills. Examples of developing social skills are like how you go up to someone and introduce yourself, or how to include someone in your conversations.
