When there are fewer children, there is a greater opportunity for children to get involved. They can play different sports, performing arts, or any group they want. I was involved in volleyball, football management, basketball, track and field, cheerleading, softball, choir and student council. I have always been busy with projects or practices “promotes an overall feeling of unity and social solidarity (Schaefer 2016:18). Activities and “sports serve as a safety value for other participants and spectators, who are allowed to release tension and aggressive energy in a socially acceptable way” (Schaefer 2016:18). In large schools, not all children have the opportunity to be involved and therefore have to vent their anger in some other way, which can lead to bad things. Since I have been involved in many activities and have had ways to relieve my anger, I don't need another way; therefore, I have not found myself in bad situations. I'm satisfied that I didn't miss out on an activity I wanted to do because of my school. Unfortunately this does not happen in all schools. Many large schools don't give students the same opportunities because there is more competition. At these schools, kids have to compete to be part of an extracurricular team. They really have to specialize in the organization, otherwise they don't have the opportunity to be part of the business. Many have to specialize in this extracurricular activity
