Can cause frustration and be stressful

Students also need time to study and relax
Struggle
Might not develop into well-rounded people
When they are tiring with the co-curricular activities, the do not
have more energy to study their academic lessons. They cannot
also focus on it which can be very harmful to their future life.
Automatically, they cannot follow their time table well and might
cannot spend their time to study although for a half and hour.
This is very pernicious. Some institutions force their students to
join the co-curricular activities which add more stress to them.

Can be a burden for poor families

The cost is important element in all societies, clubs, anduniform
units. As we know, all ofthem need the money to do any activities
and programs that suitable with their groups. The students need
pay the fee to their societies, clubs and uniform units. Some
society put the expensive fees on their members. Besides that,
the students need also buy the uniform suits such as The Police
Cadet, The Red Crescent Society and others. So the parents must
struggle to spend more money to get it for their children
especially for poor family. Now, the cost of many things is
increase from day to day and its become trouble to
parents to solve it.

Teenagers often struggle with timemanagement, andsome cocurricular activities demand more
time and energy than many students can handle. If youre a
student who needs a little longer
than your peers to finish your homework, an activity that takes up
several hours every afternoonafter school may not leave you with
sufficient time to get all your work done. An alternative mightbe
to get involved with clubs or activities that only meet once or
twice a week or that only meetfor short periods afterschool.
