No more P.E for me, ever :)

[xxMATTGxx]

My walk to school is 40 minutes there and 40 minutes back every day. :S

Tbh I think it's a bit stupid, there are lots of things you are not going to want to do in life but you just have to do it. It's also against the law unless you physically cannot take part.

I know someone who can go home when they don't want to do any lesson

Soz but that's just sad.
Swapping physical exercise for lazy private studying infront of a computer screen.
Go socialise in sport.

What? There's loads of people who don't like PE, and it's not sad. Anyway I'm doing it now regardless of the negativity of the reactions.

It is sad though, considering that you're on your own in a room with a laptop whilst your mates are taking part in activities without you.

Personally, I feel that I achieve better when I'm doing coursework for GCSE's rather than being out playing sport. That's my view, and I will stick to it regardless of your opinion.

[leah]

How can you not like p.e? its amazingggg.

[Barmi]

I hate it so much, my head of year spoke to me about it and I just do private study with laptops for an hour or so when I have P.E on tuesday - amazing

I knew a guy who did exactly that. Cod knows how he turned out.

I'm not lazy It's just that I don't like the games, e.g football basketball etc, I like stuff like running, proper sport.

Football and basketball are just a "proper" sport as athletics. Why don't you speak with the Head of Department for the subject?

There's lots of people who hate PE, I'm one of them. I'm more academic than athletic

I am more academic than athletic, and always have been. And yet I never moaned, asked to sit out, have a free lesson, etc. Whether you jump over your hurdles or ask someone to move them for you... it says a lot about you as a person. (NB: I am making general points here, not personal attacks.)

Personally, I don't feel I am gaining anything knowledgeable from it that will help me in later life. But we all have opinions

You learn life skills. At some point you will be in the real world where you have to deal with real people and complete tasks without any choice in the matter. Besides, building up a reputation as a recluse is bad.

Personally, I feel that I achieve better when I'm doing coursework for GCSE's rather than being out playing sport. That's my view, and I will stick to it regardless of your opinion.

There are only so many hours you can put into coursework before you are over-doing it. Do the P.E. and sacrifice an hour or two from Habbo or Habbox Forum instead. You will achieve more by spending your time on coursework and a bit of sport than spending excessive amounts of time on Habbo.

This advice is coming from someone who also cared a lot for his academic work, and is currently the better for it. But this is also someone who realised that you need a balance. All work and no play is bad for you.

And as for doing ample exercise by walking, it's laughable. I don't feel the need to share my whole week, but needless to say it involves far more exercise than I would first expect... all because I saw the benefits way back at school.

I appreciate what you're saying, and I understand you are only trying to help me make the best decision but my choice is stuck. Btw how did that guy turn out?

[Captain]

Sadly.. he turned into a gnome

I try (at times) to be polite, so I will try to give a gentle description. A guy who attends drag parties, brought straighteners and make-up into school, spent years thinking about his sexuality, liked to spend 90% of his life in his room on the computer, avoided P.E. however he could (through 'illness' before he managed to get permission to be excused to play around on computers), and basically did not like to conform to anything by the end of school.

This is a radical example and I am not suggesting you are anything like this guy or similars I've seen.

As long as you are productive with your time and focused, you don't need to justify yourself to us. Schoolwork is very important, but it is equally important that you leave some time aside at evenings and weekends for friends. Even during exam periods, getting out for a while is refreshing for the mind.

Oh, and that reminds me: another benefit of some higher-intensity exercise (compared to walking) is that it can stimulate the brain. If you choose not to do P.E. (which is your choice, and you don't need to justify yourself), I would humbly suggest that you fit some form of prolonged, medium/high-intensity exercise into your week.
