Teenagers

Splendour

I play guitar, I play in a band and have been through a few for about the last six years. However it;s not very social seeing as how you only get to talk to the other member of the band? Once you hit eighteen you can go to pubs, nightclubs, drive. Closest thing I can do is cycle to the swimming pool.

Go busking with your band and earn yourselves a few quid. Round up a bunch of your mates and go off on a day trip. Present yourself at your local volunteer centre and see if you can be of any use to some needy organisation. Join your local youth club. Ask your folks if you can earn some pocket money by doing jobs around the house/garden. On that note, borrow a lawn mower and tell your neighbours you'll cut their grass for a fee.

OP,when you hit the age of 18 boredom doesn't just disappear. There are plenty of people a lot older than you who claim boredom. What they lack is imagination. Don't wait for someone to knock on your door with stuff for you to do-get out there and be inspired. Life is there to be lived - and at 16, you should be having a blast!!

I don't think you're really getting my problem here. I don't mean in general so much as in terms of going out?

That's exactly the point? What is there to do for us like?

I got a part time job, watched TV & movies, met up with friends and embarked on a ferocious campaign of ****. So you know, what every teenage boy does in their spare time.

You see you're at that stupid age where you're too young to get in anywhere and you feel too old for disco's and crap like that.

What are you interested in? carpentry, mechanic, etc., why not go to a local garage and hang out, tidying up around, making tea, and learning about the trade?

Well said, I like gardening and so forth,
I went in to the garden center every day, bought a few flowers,made conversation with the workers, helped in ways I could, such as picking up shrubs that fell down, helping people bring stuff to the car, etc etc.
I got noticed by the bossman after roughly a week and got a job out of it, I was 15(summer hols of 2006)at the time and going into 3rd year and I kept it going at weekends and sometimes after school.
Now I'm finished school and have a full time job and I am now in a supervisory/managerial position albeit no formal qualifications.
However,I am studying in my spare time and Saturdays to become a fully qualified horticulturist/landscape artist/cultural engineer/nature preservation technician amongst other things.
So follow your dreams if any and get some work! And dont be on the dole like most people,
Be an example to your friends and they might follow suit, some of my friends did and a few were lucky like me to get jobs,some unfortunately were not.
The Irish recession needs innonative young people to break out and explore not sit down all day and be lazy hormonal brats,
We,the young people of Ireland are Irelands future and will hopefully break Ireland free of these dark recessionary times.
Sorry for such a long post just had to make a few points!...

Jaysus. ye all seem to live extreme lives. me . . . i . . . . well. . . . am . . . . . lets just say google Chrome incognito window gets used a lot. and the €2 shop has a best buyer for private stuffs. lol. But apart from spending 15hrs a day in my room i dont know what i do. i honestly have no idea. PS has collected so much dust im not sure it ever starts. oh wait. sorry i know what i do now. ...... Dude get a CAR ... and someone's field and rev the shiz out of it and make it look like a bomb hit it. fun in that specially when the car nearly flips over. fun days. dont worry. ive cleared it with the guards that even from the age of 12 you are allowed to drive on private property as long as your no where near public roads.
