Feeling really alone and bored

[JohnO]

Hi, Im John. I get realy bored at home, feel alone a lot. I don't have much friends, and I don't hang out with them much. i get sad when I don't have things to do and get bored. Espesially during the summer and no school, I am home by myself most of the time and my parents work a lot. so like,
what do you guys do at home, things you do with your friends, things over the summer?
and what things could I do, get more active, be more social with people?
-edit- I'm 14 by the way.

[clueless]

What are YOU interested in? :)

[JohnO]

umm. Well I listen to hip hop a lot, and I'm thinking about exercising. I'm on the chubby side. I also like basketball but I can't get my shots go in much.

[Sponge'K'nob]

as soon as you mentioned hip hop i was thinking about basketball..then you mentioned that and excercise.
right go down your local sports centre, join the gym and a basket ball team, you meet people that way and get to have fun and play compatitions :)
oh wait...you're 14, forget the gym part, do excercises at home :)

when i were 14 i just arranged meets we mates, suppose weren't hard though to meet since they only lived down road :P

if u enjoy basketball, like Kaye said join a club or sumthing, maybe just a get together we u mates for basketball i dunno?

when i was 14 i was going out every saturday getting drunk and going to k-corp lol how sad was I?!

[CraigYohn!]

although I'm strongly against it, get a myspace, search for people, get to know them, meet up =) theres a ton of my friends that'd be alright with you, or pick up a game that has multiplayer if your connection an pc can handle it, another way.

I'd strongly suggest a hobbie though, go out twice as much with your friends, even when you cant be arsed, normally fun stuff happens when you're sat inside an your friends are out.

Or even come to the meet up if you're allowed, that TF holds around the UK

I'm 14.
All i do is shop, waste ma airtime and sit on ma ass!

When I was 14 I was sitting in front of a book or a screen.... or talking and playing with my brother.
Only this year I started talking with people and hanging out.
Now I play basketball with my brothers mates and spending more time with friends in a library or a park.

HAHA that sounds like me....

Call some buds from school, and plan to meet up.
At 14, I was hanging out at a local resturant, and Starbucks.
We had just started the drinking scene, but I'd stay away from that.
It's not a good scene to get into.
Try finding some friends that are apart of a local basketball team,
and shoot around with them. Practice makes perfect!
Just don't give up.
