[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may blow your mind, but you can have an awesome childhood without participating in ANY way in sports.  I did.  If there were football games I never knew about them. My friends and I had no idea about school spirit - if there was "homecoming" I didn't know about it.

I was busy doing my hobbies and interests with my friends. I had a great time in high school. There's more than one way to have fun, OP.  [/quote]

My kid loves living in DC, but her life looks nothing like a sports-focused suburban high school.  She's into writing, the arts, and science, and loves a lot of the cultural stuff -- museums, art, the international stuff available here -- but isn't into sports at all.  [/quote]

I grew up in a happy suburb and was into sports and ALL the things you mention. I know people who aren't athletes or into sports would like to think those of us who are blockheads, but most are incredibly smart, accomplished people. That's how they were able to focus on multiple interests. Unlik those who never heard of homecoming.[/quote]
