If you are addicted to your hobby, your

schoolwork would be affected. If you

are at home, instead of studying or

doing your homework, you would

rather do your hobby. Not doing

homework and not studying will heavily

affect your grades. When at school, you

would be distracted because you would

keep on thinking how much you want

to do your hobby and not listen to the

teacher or it can distract you in a test

making you not finish the test.

sHobbies are part of how we

express our individuality.

Without this outlet, life would

be a lot more stressful. You

could say that having hobbies

is good for your health and

well-being. On the other hand,

hobbies can be downright

expensive and a huge strain

when balancing your budget: a

source of financial stress.
