[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports, OP. Sports. [/quote]

This is insane to me that people think this.

Folks, the high school sports crowd are the partiers.  Wake up![/quote]

Yeah where is this coming from? Usually the sports kids are often also popular kids and it all goes together. Maybe some REALKY high level sports kids aren’t but that’s the minority not the norm. Doesn’t mean sports can’t be great for kids but to say the football and lacrosse kids for example aren’t basically hosting most of the parties is bizarre to me [/quote]

Not all sports are equal on this.  While I'm sure there are exceptions, it's not the cross country team/ tennis team/ swim team isn't throwing wild drunk parties. It's the "bro" sports of football/lacrosse.

I don't think it had anything to do with kids being wild. But, parents think that sports, activities jobs ect means that their child will have zero interest or desire to experiment. I don't think that's true at all, in fact, overscheduling has its downsides. [/quote]
