 Theoretical Framework

Reddy (2020) stated that engaging in extracurricular activities can benefit high school
students in several ways. It helps them to learn time management, prioritize important things,
and fulfill commitments, which are essential skills for personal and professional growth. The
diverse range of activities also provides a platform for self-exploration and helps in developing a
caring and sharing attitude towards others. Furthermore participating in extracurricular
activities can boost the self-confidence and self-esteem of high school students, especially
those who may not excel in academics. These activities also provide opportunities for students
to socialize and build supportive relationships with peers. Additionally, including extracurricular
activities on college applications can increase the chances of admission as they reflect the
student's personality and skills beyond academics. Although extracurricular activities are
important for a student's overall development, but they can also have drawbacks. Time
management and commitment are crucial factors, and students should choose activities they
are interested in and capable of doing. Prioritizing extracurricular activities over academic work
can negatively affect grades. For younger children, too many scheduled activities can lead to
stress and frustration, and extra expenses are also a concern. Finally, a busy schedule can cause
tiredness and exhaustion, which can affect both academic performance and health.
