I would allow my kid to join if he or she wanted to. We dont have boxing in the HS here but there is a health club here that does and has male and female participants. Might also try a martial arts school ours has kick boxing.
There is more discipline in martial arts but regulation boxing requires skill and rules as well.

I served for 20 yrs in oth gulf wars, Panama, DEA in Latin America, & EVERY mission I could get my hands on. I have severe PTSD. What will surprise you is I served in the Air Force & due to the career field I CHOSE, I ended up on the front lines, shot at, shot back, & have nothing to be ashamed of OR judge anyone else about. Sounds like the guy has his own demons to deal with & not take them out on others ...that's the goal of getting treatment for PTSD. Someone who continues to chose violence in their vocation after war means he's still 'fighting' inside. Anyone who says 'they may act crazy' has a responsibility to himself & those around him to seek a path of HEALING himself & others to find their path. You're doing a VERY kind thing by accepting a veteran. You won't help him by talking anything military or idolizing him ...that's like giving drugs to an addict. Maybe ask about his family, friends, or lead it towards dealing with 'life' constructively. I was a royal mess 8 yrs ago after nearly getting blown up in Iraq ...I was supporting a Marine unit!! I use to be ashamed of what I called 'the REST of the Air Force', but am glad I chose the path I did. It offers great opportunities! We are all responsible to ourselves. The best thing you can say to a war veteran is 'thank you' & 'I'm glad you're still here'. I know every friend that died WANTS me to live a food life, not one of bitterness. Good Luck & thank you!!

Probably not. I wouldn't allow my kid to be in football, either. Contact-sports players suffer severe internal injuries and brain trauma over time and die much younger.
If you don't believe me, look into stories of former NFL players. Many die in their 40's because of injuries sustained while playing.

Hi there !
Thanks for asking !
I'm absolutely positive in saying I wouldn't let him join boxing since I do believe it's not a Sport at all and doesn't lead nowhere.
Have you ever tried any marcial art with a spirit of dicipline ?
Good luck.
Christian.

Of Course!!! I think in this day and age sports provides physical well being and discipline..exactly what is needed for a young adult in high school.

I absolutely HATE boxing. If my son wanted to, I'd let him, but I don't think I could bring myself to watch it.
