That sounds like hell. I was forced into music and soccer for ~6 years as a child, and my complete lack of talent is the only thing that stopped my parents from keeping me at it, they thought like you and didn't care that it was miserable and boring. We are not all the same, and we don't all need to be the same.
> they thought like you and didn't care that it was miserable and boring
If kids were allowed to not do things they identify as find miserable and boring, practically everything in the world would be off the table and the next generatation would be totally and utterly fucked.
I read that as a lack of options. The advocacy here is for some kind of enrichment. Could be a mathematics club or a meditation group, it doesn't matter. Just something.
