Physical Education, Threat or Asisstance Towards Children?

Some people may say that their kids shouldn't have to do Physical Education because they do not want to. Well I for one love P.E. and getting exercise than being cramped up in a classroom all day doing school work. But some kids, some obese and some just lazy, don't like to do P.E. because it is exercise, but those kids need to do the exercise. If they don't learn how to do the these exercises, or keep themselves fit with exercising then they will become obese or really lazy when they grow older, and if they are lazy or obese it will be harder to find a job because all they will want to do, if they are lazy, is skip work or sleep and go in late. And with the obese problem, we can't say that the people who hire people for a job aren't prejudice. If they are "fat" than some bosses may not want them in their profession, or they may harass the person for being obese. 

Another group of people may argue that when doing exercise at school they risk getting an injury. Sure doing P.E. does have risks, but isn't bruises, scratches, and cuts apart of being a kid? If kids do not learn how to deal with pain at a younger age they will grow up thinking that everything is safe, but sadly that is not how this world works. Plus if kids are afraid to get hurt then in later school years they are more open towards bullying  because they are acting like "wimps" and need to "man up". Another thing is that if they don't get hurt at a younger age then they won't have what they call a "thick skin" and will most likely cry when hurt, physically or mentally. 

People may think that P.E. is a waste of time and would be better spent teaching children to become book smart, but not physically strong. But if P.E. was such a waste of time than why is there a lot more pros than cons? Like P.E. is the only other time of the day when kids can socialize while having fun exercising. P.E. will also help kids not get ridiculed when they get older. Most kids are ridiculed because they have a weight problem, and this also leaves them open to rejection from people that they are infatuated with. Would you like this to happen to your child? Would you like them to grow up with horrible fitness where they are winded from walking up a flight of steps? NO! So do not cancel the Physical Education subject in schools!

I got my counter arguments here.
