A lot of teens in high school want to try out for sports. While this may seem like a silly reason, there are lots of other advantages of sports that your child may fail to notice. Here are some reasons that you'll find comforting.
With TV, movies, computers, and video games becoming more and more popular, it has become so much easier for teens to be by themselves. Kids used to hang out at the mall or drive around town. Getting your teen into a sport gives them a chance to go out and socialize.
One of the biggest problems in our society today is obesity (肥胖症). Joining a team sport will help your teen get out and get some exercise without feeling pressured (有压力的) to lose weight.
You may think "but my teen isn't good enough to make the school team". You can always check out the YMCA or other "for-fun" leagues. You could look into more obscure (鲜为人知的) sports that you may not have thought of. If you do a little research, you're sure to find something your teen will enjoy.
Team sports are a great way for your teen to get out of the house, get moving, make friends, and even get a scholarship (奖学金) to college.
A. Now they just sit at home.

E. Why not talk to them about getting into sports today?
F. Many try because they think it will make them popular.
