well, are are you sporty? or are you a people person? do you like to go out? do you like to help out? there a number of things you can do-it all just depends on your personality. If you like sports, pick one or a few and do it. I have friends who love to play volleyball, so they play club volleyball. (its like a thousand bucks, but you can get sponsors) that will keep you really busy and you will make new friends. If you like stage, try acting for a hobby. You can join drama club at your school (if it has one) or just join somewhere near to you. Or if you like the runway, you can join a pageant. (and no, they are not all beauty pageants!) they have miss teen America and a bunch of other programs you can join. look it up on-line. If you like student government and stuff, join student council. or get involved in Committees. If you like to walk and excersise, join walks for good causes (such as heart disease, breast cancer, diabetes, etc.) If youre more artsy, paint or draw or take classes. If you like group activities, get your friends involved in stuff you guys like to do. Or if youre at the right age, get a job at a place you like. That will keep you busy. I hope you find a hobby you like! hope this helps!

Why not try for both indoor and outdoor hobbies, so if the weather is bad, there's still something to do. And it may seem silly now, but look to the future and try things you think you might still enjoy in 30 years, or just that you will be glad you learned. Hobbies are great, because there are no deadlines, no tests, no pressure, just enjoying.
If you are the go it alone type, you could satisfy your curiousity about the area you live in by going to the library or doing research online. Who was that street named after, what birds migrate through here, what did it look like 100 years ago, 200 years ago. On the same lines, you could do some family research and find you enjoy it immensely. The added benefit of that kind of hobby is that adults (especially us older ones) really love to talk about ourselves and what we remember about our grandmothers, grandfathers, cousins. Writing down the stories they tell is a great creative outlet, and capturing that information while you still have a chance is something you will never regret. Taking pictures of relatives and your area is a great idea, too. You may find some hidden talent there.
Tai chi, aerobics, just dancing for fun are great - the more limber you are now the better, and it will never be as easy as it is now. Go for it. You may not care now, but being more graceful and having more stamina is never a bad thing.
Plant something. Anything. Take care of it and watch it grow. Put up birdfeeders and see how many different kinds of birds visit. That one also gives you the opportunity to figure out way to keep the squirrels out of your birdfeeders.
Knit, crochet, sew. If you are lucky enough to have someone in the family that can teach you one of those , great! The benefits of those kinds of hobbies is that you have something to do with your hands while watching TV or listening to music and you can make gifts for friends and family. Even a beginner sewer can make great aprons or pillows that you can decorate special for the person you are giving them to. Decorate your room.
If you find you enjoy an actiity, check out clubs in the area and make some new friends that like doing the things you do. If you like to sew and are lucky enough to have a quilting bee in your area, see if they will let you watch and learn.
Everything you try will be another skill you may use later and you will find out if it is something you like doing, which could help when you are choosing what to study.
Good luck

Ah, hobbies! I commend you for your wish to make something out of your idle hours. Hobbies are an excellent way of exploring your interests, tapping into your inner talent, and finding your own special niche. Here are some suggestions to help you get started.
Explore the English language and the world around you - read good books, subscribe to a magazine/newspaper, write just for the fun of it. While you're at it, why not true learning a new language? Chinese, Spanish, and French come to mind, but there's lots more, of course.
Find an sport and apply yourself to it - basketball, soccer, tennis, badminton, etc.
Take up something artistic, if you're so inclined - painting, sculpting, sketching. Maybe even music. Ever try your hand at the guitar? Or how about the piano, or flute?
Here's a humongous list of hobbies divided into categories like Sports, Computer-related, Artistic, etc.. Peruse through 'em, pick one out, and you're on your way to having your very own hobby. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hobbies
Good luck!

I think that if you have plenty of time, you should try to learn new things. Try also reading more books on anything that you might like or better yet, try to go through you school books specially on the subjects that you might have trouble with. That way, you will have it easy in class and you might even have gone so far way ahead of the class that when everybody is having difficulties with the subject, you will just be cruising by because you have already gone through it before.

If you're athletic try a self defense or martial arts class. Not only is it fun but you aso learn how to protect yourself. If the thought of working out makes you break into a cold sweat, try picking up a book. Always a good way to pass the time.

Take up a sport, join a gym or dance class. Learn to play a new instrument. Take a cooking class. Volunteer some time with the SPCA or other charity.

crochet, knitting, cooking, sewing....all the basics that may seem boring when a teen but turn out to be wonderful outlets for talent later in life. Canning and gardening is a good thing to learn as well....gives a great sense of accomplishment and pride.

Try and find something you enjoy. something with physical exercise. I'll assume you are in school all day and don't get much chance to exercise. Just find something that you have passion for. Gardening, sports, yard work, if you like that. Good luck.

Writing, reading, crafting in any way(scrapbooking, knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidery, tatting, I don't know anymore off top of my head), drawing, learn to cook, teach your self something new that you've always wanted to learn, and I am sure there are tons more. These are the bulk I do. I do alot of knitting, scrapbooking, and sewing.
