I need help writing another body paragraph. The first paragraph is the Introduction and the Second is the first body paragraph I have.

Thousands of people get hurt from playing sports each year. Some of these sports can be dangerous, such as football, horse riding, soccer, and so on. In soccer, you might trip and sprain a leg. In horse riding, you can fall off at any time and break a bone, your back, or worse. Playing football, a high contact sport, an accident might happen, and you could even get brain damage. I could go on and on, but there is so many to list. These can have a huge impact on you. “Stop Sport Injuries” state that over 3.5 million kids under 14, have had to receive treatment from sport injuries. From football to even hockey, people can get seriously hurt. So, teens and children should always be limited to these sports, proper safety and caution should be exercised, and at the very least be under supervision.


People lose their loved ones to sports accidents everyday all over the world, and people can no longer bare it. People are making a stand. We should limit the amount of sports that are being played. If someone were to survive a sports accident, they can still be seriously injured to where they can no longer do everyday things like walking or even putting on their own clothes. Already, according to studies shown by Rule of sports, http://www.rulesofsport.com/faq/what-is-the-world-s-most-dangerous-sport.html, it states, “Deaths per year 1,770”. That’s just from swimming. Although the odds of dying from swimming are over 1 out of 55 thousand, theres still the one that counts, and it can be deadly. The same with base jumping, it can be very dangerous. The same site says that every year, there is 43,170 casualties. The chances to dying from it is 1 out of 2,317.

Sports arent just bad on people physically, but they can also affect us negatively in a mental way. One way is that sports can encourage youth to focus too much on becoming a star or making a name for them selves, that they neglect other essential areas of life; practicing more than they should and avoiding a social life. They can become too obsessed with popularity, or, "Sports makes me look cool" And this can cause them to cause physical harm in themselves by ignoring the fact that sports can be life threatening. It would be hard to get them to stop there foolish lifestyle, and they could also not be spending time with loved ones, which can cause conflict within family members or partners. Also, if a young person who is so attached to sports dosent succeed in sports, they can become depressed and can eperience low self esteem, thinking that they will never succeed or "I am nothing if I cant even play sports"
