There is a lot of student involvement in sports at our school. If you do not play sports you are not as popular, and you do not have as many friends. There is a lot of peer pressure in our school! People do things just to fit in, and be cool.

We have three different club in our school. If you do not participate in one of them the teachers will hold a grudge against you, and some will not let you be in there classes if you are not in there club.
