Hi All,
I am looking for some feedback on what you all think about this. My sister is a high school teacher and spends a great deal of time
harping on my son to get involved in school activities, he played football last year or I should say he was part of the team, he never
actually got any playing time but he was absolutely misearable the entire time! I hate seeing him unhappy, he does have a few interest
limited as they may be he is a very talented artist, he has improved 100 % on his socialization skills and has even made a few friends
and has a girlfriend this year....so he has overcome alot of hurdles. SO.......what do you all think about forcing him into school activities
is it the right thing or wrong thing? I get aggravated at my sis for harping on him because it makes him only retreat more. Any feedback
would be awesome!!! :)

hes fine, honestly i dont do any sports dont have a girlfreind and am into really weird **** and im still fine. i do think the excersize is important though. that said i am like, a 16 year old boy so my advice may be a bit biased. i guess just let him be into what hes into but at the same time physical excersize is important. i dont really know how helpful that actually was but yeah.
