There is a contradiction in the minds of adolescents that has been difficult to transcend. The question of how to make the right decision about what activities they will undertake and what advice to follow has been of great importance to adolescents. Today's adolescents find themselves in a difficult decision-making situation as their school psychologists have impressed upon them that being happy relies on the ability to make friends and the development of skills. Meanwhile, teachers and parents advised that happiness lies in competition and the performance of others. However, for teenagers, happiness means fame, position, joy, contentment and peace of mind. Just as Paul Brenner said in his book “If life is a game, why am I not having fun?” » He quoted that “Happiness is success” (1). From the perspective of adolescent happiness, for them, playing means happiness and happiness means success. As a result, there is a big difference between someone who achieves their goal of being happy and someone who accomplishes it happily. In the essay “Children Need to Play, Not Compete,” Jessica Statsky talked about some health reasons, both physical and psychological, why children should not be allowed to engage in activities. competitive games or sports. She appealed to parents, coaches or game masters about the implications and dangers of organized sports and argued that competitive sports can harm adolescents both physically and mentally. Statsky in the book states that sports are generally organized activities, regardless of how they are organized locally, nationally, or internationally. She also convinced that contact and non-contact sports played in kindergarten have side effects on children, either as competitors or spectators; therefore, they should not be... middle of paper ...... sports are eradicated, they will always develop another avenue to get injured, so Statsky's view on the disadvantage of adolescents who s taking part in competitive sports is flawless. In Statsky's essay, she noted that children drop out of sports primarily "apart from their change of interest" but also because of "...lack of playing time, failure, and fear of failure." failure, disapproval of others and psychological stress” (3) you will agree with me, adolescents are influenced by their parents, their coaches and their friends. This group of people are seen as an outside force in all sports which makes them lose interest in the sport and not the sport which discourages children from taking up it. I disagree that competitive sport derails children's advantage in participating in athletic competitions; rather, it tends to develop their skills, needs and abilities.
