[quote=Anonymous]It seems perfectly reasonable to me that a 14 year old is not interested in theater, sports, debate, math club, science olympiad, model UN, etc. If I had to join one of those as a freshman, I would probably just shrug my shoulders, too. I have a freshman who is in orchestra, takes guitar lessons and doesn't particularly want to do much else. I can't think of a good reason to object to that other than "but college admissions blah blah blah." Some people are just not joiners - that doesn't mean they won't be productive members of society or that they are mentally ill. Despite feeling this way, I still feel pressured to harass my kid into choosing something. Since the school year is just getting started, I'm hoping one of his friends joins something he finds at least tolerable and he'll try it out. If not, maybe he'll discover something he likes by next year at least. [/quote]
