Ok, so mainly it's summer now for me but so far it's been super boring. My best friend has been busy, so I haven't had time to hang with her or swim with her. There are no public pools where I live and my parents won't pay for a membership at a private pool. All my other friends are busy with sports or are on vacations. I was thinking about joining a sport with them but I have to be experienced and I really don't want to join a sports team! Frown All my brothers and sisters are like eight years older than me so their never home or they're always working or on vacations with their friends. Frown My dad goes to work all day and my mom is always busy shopping or cleaning the house. All I've been doing is reading, taking walks, listening to music, and going through my school papers! I don't have any pets to play with either. How can I make my summer more fun and be busier? Thanks Mod. Frown




Hey Girl--

I'm sure you have a few friends who are still around for the summer-- check to see what they're up to. If you want to join a sports team why not start practicing now? Tons of local camps and charities also hire teens as volunteers for the summer-- that's a great way to get out of the house. 




best of luck!
