Besides academic opportunities for teens, opportunities to play sports are also good. Sports opportunities are especially better for teenage girls. Title IX makes it mandatory that any sport that is offered to one sex will also have to be available to the other sex. In other words, if there is a boys' basketball team the school must also sponsor a girls' basketball team. Being in sports provides girls with chances that their grandmothers did not have.
Sports teach teamwork and togetherness.
They also teach people how to compromise and how to cooperate with others, two valuable skills for life. Because girls living in today's world can play sports at a competitive level, it helps us to excel in other areas of life. Excelling in life is what today's teen can do better than generations before us. The world advances every day and so do its inhabitants. The best thing about being a teen today is the opportunities we have for advancement in our society.
