text: Another reason is its the students decision if they want to be involved in a extracurricular activity. A study conducted by the Harvard Institute of Science reported back that most teenagers don't want to do something they are forced to do. I think this is also important because if a teenager doesn't want to do something, they will do anything not to do it. For example, if I am being forced to do something, I most likely don't want to do it. If a teenager wanted to do an activity, they would. I don't think parents should force their kids to do something, unless its chores or something like that.
