Well, in some ways I am sorry all you guys did not get to participate in sports or club activities that you may have enjoyed. There is so much to learn from those groups, you may have benefitted, or you may not have.
I was allowed to be in some sports that were school related, but no Little League or such. In high school, I was allowed to play sports as long as my grades stayed up and I kept up on my chores (we were out of milking long before then). I played everything offered and was active in every non-sports group except the band. I think those were some of the best years of my life.
I tried to allow my kids to try any of the activities they wanted, and not force any of my interests on them. I feel it was good for them to be coached by another adult, not myself or my wife. Mine have produced stellar grades, so their activity levels, while taxing on my wife at times, has taught them to manage their time well. It also taught her to do so. And, good high school grades have been great for progressing into college, where they are excelling towards rewarding careers.
I, also, have only a couple of close friends from that era, but I am cordial with many. Part of that is no doubt related to me being such a raving a$$wipe.
IF I were to change anything from that part of life, I wish I would have gone out on a date with every girl in my class at least once. Hear about them and their life, get to know them a little. So much more to people than what they look like on a bad hair day at age 15. I was a jerk then, and regret it now.
