[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I would not force a 16yo to play a sport. I was very sad when my own DS quit his main sport last year but understood the reasons why (didn’t have any friends on the team, mostly sat the the bench, took up a lot of his time). We told him had to replace the activity with something else(anything- didn’t have to be a sport) & he chose a no-cut sport. He has honored that commitment. Which seems to be the same thing you are trying to do? Personally, I’d let him choose anything he wishes. But he must choose something and follow through. Maybe agree that if he tries something (probably not a sport, but something like yearbook or a club) for a certain time period, he can quit if he still doesn’t like it? Or expand to allow a part time job or outside volunteer work? It is hard. [/quote]
