Why should P.E classes be mandatory for High School Students? Teenagers would be healthier. It would teach them teamwork. It gives Teens a chance to do an activity. These three main points are excellent reasons why physical education should be mandatory.

Teaching student’s teamwork will help them later in life. For instance learning to get along with their peers will help them later when working with costumers, employers, or employees. Also they will develop their friendships better and give them a sense of belonging and security outside the family.

Another advantage of P.E classes is teenagers would be able to fend of sickness better when they have a healthier body. Also teens would get better sleep and higher grades because of working out and will work their brain as well as their body. Furthermore posture would improve as well as less body fat. Therefore the heart would not have to pump harder to get through all the body fat that teens seem to possess. Teens would have a better chance of less heart diseases as well as a healthier body.

The most important point that will help Adolescent is it will give them an activity after school. Many of our teens today are involved with drugs, drinking, smoking, and gangs. Giving them activities after school will help the temptations of drugs, drinking, smoking and gangs. The more they learn about their body and how it works and the more they exercise their body they would have less time to create bad friendships, start drugs, drinking under age, joining gangs, and smoking the better our crime rates would be less and less.

Giving teens an opportunity to learn teamwork, giving them a healthier body, and giving teens activities to do will help them in the long run. Help teens today!
