Answer 1

Make him finish the season. Don't let him decide to do something, and then quit when it's not fun or he doesn't like it something about it. By letting him quit, all you will be teaching him is that quitting is OK.

Answer 2

260 pounds is too big for anybody at any age, even at 6' 3". Sure, linemen need to be big, but they're almost never a 'healthy' big. Most have way too high a percentage of body fat and end up with health problems later in life. Keep an eye on what he's eating. Too much sugar, especially in what he drinks, will make a huge impact. Get him drinking only water. Try to get him to eat more nutrient dense foods, fruits and vegetables, fresh meat and dairy. Stay away from processed stuff and white flour. If you can get him eating things with fiber he might get and stay more full. And if you can get him to eat quality protein it'll help fill him up too. Nothing has more staying power in keeping you full than protein. Tell him these things will make him stronger, and at his size he needs more strength and agility to play well than more weight. He's plenty big.

Answer 3

Let him quit. Or tell him to finish out this year and he want have to do it again if he doesn't want to. Making him do something is only going to make it worse. He will just start rebeling. You have to give him freedom to make his own decision. He may be good at it, but if he doesn't like it, what good is that? Would you want to do something that you don't want to do? I know in life we all have to do things we don't want to do, but why make more? Giving him the freedom to say what he wants may end up good. He may decide that he wants to keep playing because he is given the right to decide for himself.

Answer 4

Let him do what he wants to do. If he doesn't want to play, don't force him to. Too many parents put too much pressure on their children to play sports, to excel at sports, and to win at all costs.

I have 2 kids, and I do not make them play sports, and I won't force them to do activities that they don't want to do in school.

Answer 5

Let him quit football, but don't let him quit school. Let HIM get some education. By the way, did you notice the "Check Spelling" prompt while you were forming your semi-literate question?

Answer 6

NO..BY ALLOWING HIM TO QUIT, SIMPLY BECAUSE THINGS GOT A LIL ROUGH , TEACHES HIM HE SHOULD JUST TURN TAUL AND RUN AWAY FROM EVERY PROBLEM IN LIFE.
EVERYTHING WILL NOT GO HIS WAY, HE WILL WIN, HE WILL LOSE..BUT HE WILL HAVE AT LEAST STOOD TALL AND FOUGHT HIS BATTLE.
WHAT IF HIS TEAM WINS THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITHOUT HIM, ANY GUESSES WHAT WILL RUN THRU HIS MIND FOR A LIFETIME AFTER THAT ?
IF HE DECIDES TO QUIT... PAINT HIS ROOM PINK, HAVE TEA PARTIES WITH HIM, BUY HIM A HELLO KITTY BACK PACK, GET HIM A BIKINI WAX AT THE SPA, ARCH HIS EYEBROWS, AND GET HIM A BARBIE TOWNHOUSE WITH CORVETTE ACCESSORY.
