My parent don't want me to do sports because it will "interfere" with my school work. I'm pretty sure I could handle both school and sports activities at school...I already have a 3.7 GPA and all my friends do sports and have similar grades. I don't know how (or if...) I can convince them to let me do a a sport. Could someone help me out?
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
If your just going into high school next year (like I am) just sign up, and when they find out/you tell them say, "This is my test. If I can pull this off great for me and I haved prove I am responsible, if not, you were right, and I shan't defy thou again."
If your in high school then try and have your friends sign you up/get you the sign up information for a team outside of school, or you could sign up for a school team, and recite the above to your parents.

Sports can help you do better. Exercise will give you energy and put oxygen into your brain, and studies have shown that. If practice isn't everyday, then it shouldn't be a probelm. It is doubtful that you spend all of your waking hours outside of school doing school work, tell them you'll sacrifice some time spent doing video games or whatever.

If anything, maintaining an extracurricular discipline will only bolster your grades. You learn tremendously from sports, and the discipline will carry through to your schoolwork.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Hmm, all depends on the sport, being active is said to increase grades for kids, but then again these are kids that are in regular classes, not honors or AP.
I am in AP classes, 2 or 3 a year, and I found that Football, Wrestling and sometimes basketball, can be detrimental to your grades, becuase of the intense rigorous activities that cause you to be so tired you need more sleep. My GPA went from straight A's to 2 or 3 A's and 3 or 4 A's but then again I am taking much harder classes than middle school, and I know I could do better, but I have definiately tried to go to sleep at 9 or something after a rough f/b practice and tired to wake up at 5 to finish hw but wouldnt finish it in time. So it can be done but is very, very hard to keep your energy up with sports like those, especially the football and wrestling. Plus the games/meets are very hard because those will take up your whole night.
