Hello,
I am a 12 year old boy. I enjoy playing on my Xbox 360, watching TV and playing on the computar. I have friends, but I choose not to go out with them. My mum has now told me that there are new house rules, no Xbox at all and no TV before 12:00 on a school/weekday, which I think is fair. She has also said that becuase I wont be on the Xbox or the TV until 12:00, I need to find something to keep me occupied. I hate reading, I think it's boring. I wont step foot in a library. All the boy sports like Football, Rugby, Basketball ect... dosent appeal to me, although I do watch WWE Wrestling. I am now trying to sell my Xbox for some cash. I do enjoy dancing and gym. I also think squash is fun, but I dont really want to persue any of those things.
If you can help me find a hobbie in any way, please help. Thank you.

How about disc golf? It can be played by yourself, or with friends. I know Clough and myself play, it sure is fun. Here is the link so you can get a feel for how it's done : Professional Disc Golf Association.

It is an outdoor sport, which will get you out of the house. Hopefully, there's a course near you. If not, you can order a practice basket.

Why not take some dancing lessons?

There are tons of styles to choose from and it's a great way to meet people.

Drama classes would be great too. You could join your local theater.

There are so many things you could do. Just find your passion and go from there, but most importantly, don't be afraid to try.

Hi Clough,
I am a Street/Hip Hop dancer. I tried playing a recorder a long time ago, and I aslso played the piano, but I diddnt like my teacher and I wasnt learning much.
Thank you for asking and trying to help, and thanks to everyone.

Piano is something that Clough might be able to teach you!

Clough

Hi again, Dougan123!

Yes, learning the basics of how to play the piano as well as how to write music are a couple of things that I can actually help you with on this site!

Thanks, Unknown008!

Dougan,
One of the answers mentioned model cars.
I have been doing model cars for 50 years. It taught me alot about cars and it taught me to be patient, and it is fun. Here in America we have hot rods that are ussually old cars fixed up with new parts and made to go faster and have more horsepower. Go to your nearest hobby shop and get a Revell model of a 31 or 32 Ford streetrod and build it your way. You will enjoy it. Get a copy of a streetrod magazine for ideas.

Dougan123,
Music and dance are also very good hobbies. Dancing is good exercise !!

Clough

So, are you going to return to here, Dougan123?

Thanks!
