text: Sports and other extra actives are release from stress for students. Stress that comes from being forced to do well in school, homework, drama at home, and outside of ones home. Though I do believe if a student loves their extra curricular activity so much they will get their grades up, its not they best or most affective way. Teenage students that are involved with drugs or gangs will not play the sport any longer because they don't care about school, and find it to hard. If activities were not based on grades, less teenagers will be off the streets and start to play sports instead of getting themselves into violence and illegal situations.
