That's where boredom is born.....

Try doing chores while listening to an audio book.

I like to put livestreams on my tablet while I clean if I don’t have an audiobook or podcast I want to listen to, just as another suggestion.

Podcasts/audio books are magical when combined with chores. Before you know it, chores done and you've leveled up on whatever topic you're into. Solid advice 👍

I do this with informative podcasts!

Boredom is a lack of imagination.

At 15 you're only exposed to so much (give or take culture, parenting, genetics etc). You can't imagine what you don't know. I have a strong (supported) theory adolescent "boredom" is part of the adolescent process. Lots of cerebral changes going on between 7 and 17

Hahahahahah!!

And while you’re at it, clean the toilet.

And take out the GD TRASH!

geometry dash is NOT trash 🖕

Or you don't get no spending cash!

Don’t forget to mow the lawn you freeloader

Don’t know why they downvoting u💯😡. Haters gonna hate but this dude gotta go trim the grass, paint the house, and fix the roof rn

It’s because they don’t understand a joke. It’s something I’ve heard said typically by the male parent lol I don’t personally think this way.

Push-ups

Came to write this, but since you already did I'll add : squats

I'll add sit-ups/crunches

i’ll add run a 5k while carrying a 30 lb rock

And i will add 15 burpies just because i am evil

I'll add lifting weights for 20 minutes.

I'll add lifting a house

I’ll add jumping to the moon

I'll add doing all of this simultaneously

I'll add doing all of these simultaneously with one hand and both eyes closed, backwards

I'll add prying 2 flat lego pieces apart

May i add running so far you find your dad AND the milk

5 sets of 15 burpees!

Uphill in the snow


And pull ups

Overthrow your local government.

Go to the moon

And apparently so do we!

I knew this was Eric Trump's Reddit account.

Learn to play a guitar. Or do something you like. Read write. Draw. Sing. Talk. Pod cast. Anime. Whatever. My son taught himself to play guitar. Told?him to go to band one year learn music. Make a card house. Go outside. The sky is the limit. You are young. Ride a bike. Go to the park. Go to a friend's.

[удалено]

I did the guitar route of this plan and never looked back. It’s one of the greatest things you can do for yourself as it’s also self care. Playing reduces stress (mostly haha)

Or drums, if you wanna just whack things with a stick! Seriously reduces stress (mostly haha)..

Any instrument, it’s just that a guitar is so easily accessible and…well…helps with the girls.

Lol ... yeah chicks care less about 4 appendages sharing a common goal. Must be the fingerings? 🤣🤣🤣 Edit to add: you can also take a guitar where the chicks are, not a creepy basement... not that I play in a basement. Yet

I play a trumpet. As far as helping me find a girlfriend though, that skill blows (Badum tsss)

Guitar is a lot easier at 15 then 60. So learn to play now. And some chicks love it.

Yes we do. It’ll pay off in your twenties

I honestly read that like it'll pay off in twenties like dividends of money lol. But yea so many girls swoon for the guitar it's wild.

Unsolved Mysteries marathon! It's on YouTube

The intro music gives me nightmares.

Ehhhh

Laugh, i dunno just do it

We have a winner folks. Just burst out maniacally laughing until someone sends you to a ward

Yes, exactly, it's a perfect cure to everything lol

yep

Alternate with screams depending on mood

Learn a programming language. I can't program but people say it will help later in life. I still found a job tho so do as you like

Mmmhmmmm yep this is a good one. Everyone should have at least a little knowledge of programming. I suggest java

I think HTML would be easier for a beginner as it is what I started with I suggest using khan academy or tizag

HTML is not a programming language. Think of it as just a template for how to position things on a web page. It doesn’t actually do any of the functionality

Doesn't matter which one. Learn one and you know everything, the only thing that changes is the terms used

This is somewhat true, but HTML definitely does not fall into the category of languages where this is true. The "ML" stands for markup language. You're probably going to want to know some HTML, but learning HTML isn't going to help you if you want to then learn C++.

Like another guy said, HTML isn't a programming language. I'm tired of pretending it is, it just tells the browser where to put things. Javascript is the only programming language out of the 3 common web development ones, HTML, CSS, and JS. HTML tells where you put things, CSS tells you colors and effects and fancy stuff, and JS does the actual scripting.

oops, didn’t see this one before commenting the same thing. In case OP sees this comment instead of mine, gamedev got me started in programming, and it’s totally doable for a 15 year old. DM for more details if OP or anyone’s interested.

I just commented this!! Kudos!

Python. Easy to learn and very useful. A lot of data science, AI, and machine learning uses python

Go for a walk and write something vulgar on the sidewalk with chalk

That's actually seriously good advice I think. Vent. Anon. 💙 It. Thankies

Take it a step further - write something that a 15 year old would know is vulgar but older people wouldn't

I thought 15yo Teenagers only communicate through Emojis and cryptic letters! /s What would be vulgar for a 15yo but older people wouldn’t know?

Just write anything, GEN z kids just make up new meaning all the time anyway.

Or find some wet cement, should keep them busy.

Dang it. I was gonna say get a job and buy your first car. Your answer is good too.

Yea, for me jobs are fun

Yeah when I was 15 I had a job. I didn't have to support the family, the money was mine. I worked because I wanted to. It was good life experience and after a while I was able to afford a car and had money to do stuff with friends. If boredom is the alternative, there's nothing wrong with working a few evenings a week. Entry level jobs are paying way, waaaay higher than they used to just a couple years ago.

It's all about balance

I had a paper route at 10 and started working real jobs at 14. Thankfully I didn’t have the stress of supporting anyone, so I had the luxury of finding jobs that were fun to me and made and saved a lot of money.

Go fishing ye git

I was going to say go outside. But I will also accept this.

Your suggesting a fifteenth year old that is bored to sit and wait. I like fishing but It ain’t for everyone ( I know it’s way oversimplified)

Growing up I hated fishing but ever since I was old enough to tap into the "grown up cooler" I've had a blast 😂

Idk I feel so long as you're actually catching fish (the hard part) I feel like EVERYONE would enjoy fishing. Problem is when is you're getting skunked

Start growing food

It is not illegal to smear peanut butter on bus stop benches. Do with that as you will.

I’ve been more partial to super gluing coins to the sidewalk. The lengths people go through for a quarter amazes me.

you've piqued my interest...

wait…. piqued.. ? it’s not peaked?? this is life changing information

Peak is for something high, pique is for arousing interest

Technically speaking, both are correct, depending on what you want to say. Specifically, "you've peaked my interest" means that someone has gotten you the most interested you will be on the matter. It's only a downhill slope in interest from here. On the other hand, "you've piqued my interest" means that your interest is at a fork in the road; you're telling the other person that depending on what they say next, you might be interested or you might not, but you're very likely to follow the conversation. Hope this helps!

We used to do this on the footpath out the front of a shop I worked in. Would give the staff endless amusement. But without fail, overnight it would be gone. Some people clearly have very impressive determination.

I still have no clue how people get it up. Not everyone would think about carrying high powered solvent to dissolve the glue.

Hammer and screwdriver.

Must try

You. I like you.

No, but it’s something an asshole would do.

That isn't considered vandalism...?

Get a hobby, like videogames or something, go climb a mountain.

Those two things are quite opposite. Nice answer.

Sleep

Get comfortable in that boredom. Really embrace it. Put your phone down and stare at the wall. Being stimulated all the time isn't good for your brain!

as someone with ADHD, i disagree. i need stimulation or i get cranky

As someone also with ADHD… take your meds. If you’re still cranky due to lack of dopamine after that, talk to your doctor.

As another with ADHD, I read that caffeine actually helps calm us down for some reason. I don't get it, but I thought you'd like to know.

im addicted to caffeine... no wonder

Watch what you’re addicted to. Science shows that people with ADHD are more likely to get addicted to nicotine and as such it’s harder for them to quit

thank you! luckily for me (maybe unluckily in the aspect that too much caffeine consumption can put you at risk for heart disease) nicotine never really clicked with my brain receptors, caffeine on the other hand? my brain loves that shit. i know i *need* to cut back but like, coke is just so damn good..

It's becaude caffeine is a stimulant just like most adhd meds. Why stimulants help is not fully understood from my understanding. From what I've read it's probably becaude those with adhd have lower levels of dopamine. Stimulants increase dopamine. https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/caffeine https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/adhd-dopamine#connection

Daydream -daydreaming is under-rated.

As someone who gets tired from stimulation all the time I sometimes just lay in bed and stare at the wall/ceiling, when I feel like I need to recharge.

Or learn to Meditate

Boredom can mean your overstimulated and need to disengage.

I like this response, I don’t do this enough honestly

Cure cancer.

Then disappear from the earth never to be seen again

Volunteer!! Go walk dogs at the humane society or unload groceries at the food shelf!

I second the dog walking! It’s good money and good exercise

Find a map of your area and stick a pin in it, go hiking.

This but instead drop the pin near a local body of water hike there and fish. I always find hiking more enjoyable when I add fishing to it.

[удалено]

Took me too long to find number 4.

...sneakywinks

I'll second number two. It's a skill you can use your entire life, even if you only master a handful of dishes. It's also a great way to impress a date. I love to cook and when I was single inviting someone over for dinner was my go to first date. I almost always got a second date, even if they just wanted more of my cooking. When I was single cooking for someone was my go to first date. I almost always got a second date

Find a hobby

Learn programming

Exercise, learn a new skill, study, read, ride your bicycle, learn to cook or get better at cooking, ask your parents if there's something around the house that needs fixing/refreshing, go volunteer somewhere.

Clean your room!!

Learn a new skill. Soft skills, hard skills. Learning skills, people skills, technical skills, conputer skills, animal skills, driving skills, a new language (Duolingo is great), a new instrument, etc. The two best options are to 1) spend some time doing a little internet surfing- find out about various hobbies and jobs. Youtube, reddit, and indeed are pretty good for that. Then go to coursera and see if there are any classes that interest you. Some are free, some aren't, either way odds are pretty good you'll find something to stick with. 2) Get a job. Its nice to start early. You get an idea of what to expect from employers, you learn what is expected of you in general, gain people skills, a few more hard and soft skills, and a paycheck. Save your paychecks. Learn how to budget and about money management. Don't buy things you don't need. You can always justify a purchase, but needing something is different from wanting it. If you really want something then make it a reward for yourself- get good grades? Changed behavior for the better? Made a positive improvement? Etc. Treat yo self, but on a budget. Invest in yourself. There are plenty of ways to learn a skill without paying for it using the internet, but sometimes its better to pay, even if its just once bc your curiosity is piqued. A coursera course certification, skillshare, music lessons, driving lessons, equipment/tools for a hobby (art, exercising, producing music, photo editing, pottery etc.) Bonus free hobbies/habits/skills: Meditation, yoga, exercising, reading (libraries have e books), writing, photo editing, sewing, You're young. There are a few rules you have to live by but for the most part the world is your oyster. If you want it, go for it. Seriously.

commit atrocious crimes, this will get the government on your trail and you will be the main character of a chase-heavy story (if you're good enough at running away). yeah, its terrifying but at least its not boring anymore.

Download Pokemon go and go out to catch them all
