Extracurricular activities are meant to something fun and enjoyable in a student's free time, a choice to partake in something they find interesting. Making students attend extracurricular activities would take the fun out of it - it's supposed to a chance students can take, not another thing forced upon them.

Let extracurricular activities remain as a choice for students.Is it better to talk to someone about your feelings?
