try some type of videogame if that is possible if u have siblings in the same range as you make a game up....if u have a musical instrument play that... or make one very very cheap fun and time consuming, but more fun i remember i was 13 and made an electric guitar it was frustrating but it took my mind off things and i was happy with what i came out with....just make something you would like to see in your room or something like that

Do you live in a city or out in the country? I grew up outside of the city and always found many great things to do outside! :-) Jerm

Those are great answers people have put here! Get outside and skate, ride a bike, swim, play basketball, soccer, or baseball, climb trees. Inside, bake cookies, read, write a letter to your grandma, play board games, draw.

I agree with the other person whom sugested craft. I love to do crafts, and it doesn't have to be expensive to be fun. I you find something you like to make and are good at it, you might be able to see them and make some extra spending money. That sounds like fun to me.

Take up to stamp collecting, coin collecting or for that matter any hobby. Hobbies are fun, educative and absorbing. Donot become addict to the hobbies. Just to spend time in leisure time in the process enrich your knowledge.

Learn to play a musical instrument and read music. You can get a second hand guitar cheap and there's plenty of info on the net. Or even get a cheap recorder for a couple of dollars, learn to play it and read music that way. Once you know the notes you can sit down at a keyboard (even in a shop) and amaze yourself that you can play the same songs. Learning to read music has brought me a great deal of joy over the years.

When I was a kid and got bored, I would grab my dad's fishing net and chase pigeons. I was an odd kid though. Have you thought about working jigsaw puzzles? You can get lost in them in no time.

Read a book. If you think reading is boring you just haven't found the right books for you, keep trying until you do.

Do you like playing video games? There are many kid appropriate online games where you can chat with other people. You could join a sports team. Walk around your neighborhood and find other kids to do things with.

just look around for a friend let the two or more sit down and let each one tell a story to the listening of the friend(s) or better still start a game with few friends.try it and you will have nothing to worry about.

Read a book, get some from the library. Hang out with your friends. Get a pet. Do something creative... write a story, paint something, write a letter to a relative who lives out of town.
