I have read multiple articles explaining to us how harmful playing football can be. Reading this article's made me think if playing football in high school and in colleges is fine.

Meaning that since most of the kids in high school are still between the ages of 15 through 18 their brains are still not fully developed. There are three reasons on why I don't think that high school students should not play football. My reasons would have to be because their brains are still not fully developed, they could get hurt and perhaps die, and because students don't have the right equipment to be playing.
