Bored with my life!

I'm bored with my life now and usually when I get bored I start to get in to trouble. I dont want to go back to my old habits but I dont want to have a boring life. I Don't play sports anymore and I don't do anything after school what do you suggest??

Think about what you find interesting and become totally involved in it. Make sure it's something positive and something you look forward to doing. If it's an area that can contribute to your future, that's even better.

As bright as you are, you can become an expert at anything if you're willing to put the effort into it. One example: Suppose you like animals. You could learn a lot about them and volunteer to work at a local vet's office after school. The key is to get involved and associate with people who have goals and want to contribute something to the world. If your boredom puts you back into a crowd just as bored as you are, that's where the problems will start.

I have faith in you and believe that you have a great future if skyDancer and I can keep you straight until you get there. :-)

I'm glad for you that you've figured out one of your triggers. You learned that when you get bored, you get in trouble, and you don't want to get in trouble so you caught yourself. GOOD FOR YOU! You noticed, and you caught yourself BEFORE getting in trouble. GOOD FOR YOU! That's a lot of progress.

Sports and after-school activities are good ways to avoid boredom. Why aren't you doing those anymore?

What about a hobby? Is there something you've been interested in or always wanted to try?

Btw, I would LOVE to be bored! I'm just too busy. :-)

And another thing, boredom is ok. Being boring is ok. It's just new and uncomfortable. Being still gives you time to "be" with yourself.
