Bored

me too. there is nothing to do in my house.

summer is boring at times.

what else is a kid to do

hello?

Go outside and play?
Do homework?
Clean your room?
Study?
Walk the dog?
Visit a friend?
Learn how to knit?

And on and on.

( I was kidding about the knitting)

wow! you have got to be really bored to write in your own post.

I already did four out of five of those ecept knitting and homework

You don't say how old you are but I assume from your general attitude and your posts that you are a 'kid'. If you are not a kid then don't act like one, a spoilt one at that.

There is plenty to do, just don't whine.

I didn't even have to say this to my own children but when I was young... I AM going to say it now, we had nothing in a commercial sense, we made our own entertainment, we were not bored, ever.

Television back then, for those who had it, was in black and white, we had one channel and that didn't start until later in the day, none of this daytime stuff. We didn't have anything to play music on, the radio was plugged in and tuned to programmes that our parents wanted.

What did we do?

We went out to play with our friends, as we got a little older it was to chat with our friends rather than play. We read books, lots of books. We helped our parents and other adults who might not have children of their own at home, shopping, running errands, gardening, walking babies, walking dogs. In the summer we went to the public swimming pool or to the parks.

Just about everything we did cost no money, or very little money as we had none.

Stop whining and do something, help others, you might get something from it. Talk to old people, I don't mean my age (even if I am ancient to you), I mean people of 75 and upwards, they have LOTS to talk about and you will learn a heck of a lot, I did. They will appreciate having a fresh pair of ears to tell their stories to, you would be amazed at the interesting things they know, just make sure you ask them about 'when they were young or growing up' rather than what they did last week (mind you some will have done far more interesting things last week than you by the sounds of it).

Well I am a kid get that straight uner 18. Television is boring nothing good is on.

Personally, when I was young (a few years ago!) I don't remember being bored. Always had books to read, or something to do, even if it was visiting my grandparents, or doing a jigsaw. There was television, but I preferred to read.
Just giving my opinion, feel free to comment.

1 more thing my earing is not so good so chating is not very interesting.

well I read all my good books like Jackie Chan on action its about his life. All the harry Potter Books, Wizard of Earthsea, ect.

If you are under 18 it is possible that you will not enjoy hanging about with us, most of us are over 25, many over 40 and quite a few would be glad to see 50 once ore, or even 60!

By all means continue to post in the forums but don't continue with claiming to be bored, do something about it, if you are bored it is entirely your own fault.

Edited to add that my daughter's hearing isn't too good either but I never heard her complain of boredom, she got up and did something.

I would like to say you told me to listen to older people than me jackpot

I am sorry, I meant you told me to listen to pe4ople older than me and tere is a lot of older people here than me.

I meant people in the flesh, real people.

Younger members are welcome here in the forums but only if they are prepared to participate on our level.

Hey Sue,

Take it easy on the kid. I used to complain like that sometimes. I think I used it to get attention, maybe get some fun things going.

I know maybe it's not what you're used to...and maybe when you were a kid you were never bored...but back then there were only a couple of shows, and they were all good ones...well, now there are a ton of shows and they all stink.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, "Life as a kid is really the same as it was way back when, but there's more choice, and the kids are more diverse. With more choice, less time is available to do things you want to, which leads to boredom."

Wow...that's sort of a long post.

I don't mean to scold you Sue, I know it's not my place to do so.

You are quite correct, it isn't your place to scold me. To be honest our generation get sick and tired of hearing the kids of today claiming they are bored, they have no right to be bored and if they are bored they only have themselves to blame. We certainly don't want to come here and have kids moaning about boredom. It isn't being hard on someone to tell them to quit moaning and to get a life.

Edited to add...

That makes no sense whatsoever, if there is so much to do that there is insufficient time it isn't possible to be bored.

theoryman, you are once again pushing your luck. The bulk of members here are just looking for other members who think the same in a reasonable adult way. Age is not an issue. I've gone to bat for you because I thought you were that. And I knew you were young. If you want to find a young man who works here look up Harish. I don't think we want this all to be exclusive of younger people. We just want it to make sense.

I wish I was bored sometimes.

I am a perfectionist and very organized.

I'm either editing or playing quizzes on here.

I'm scrapbooking (expensive, but fun).

I'm sewing, quilting and cross stiching. I'm in the process of making Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and clown costume.

I'm Cub Scout Cub Master and Den Leader. 60 boys in Pack - 12 in Den.

I've got a full time job.

I have a 10 year old son (no dad to help out).

I usually plan my vacations (in detail) a year in advance and I get VERY detailed.

I write weekly articles for Fun Trivia Adventures.

I love creating new quizzes.

I am the Popcorn Kernal for Cub Scouts next month - which means sell like crazy for one month straight. Plus I have $12,000 worth of popcorn in my living room for a month!

I love watching old movies, but I only usually get to watch about 3 a week - since I'm so busy. I never watch a movie without doing something.

Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec I do craft shows for all the stuff I sew. Try to make a couple of extra bucks.

Love life? Hm... none there - don't have time right now.

So the next time you say 'bored'... ah, you are so lucky!
