    Do you mean compete? I would say all teenagers should be physically active, but some people are just not born athletic, so they may just want to walk. Exercising is healthy, but you don't necessarily have to play a sport. You could argue that sports equipment and travel time are very expensive. Also, many sports such as football (concussions) are very dangerous, and there have been many arguments that it should be banned for teenagers because it is not good for the brain to move around and have so many concussions at a young age. Also, there needs to be a balance, and if some teenagers played sports constantly, they may not be able to keep up with harder classes which would lead to them not getting in as good colleges. I hope this helped!
