Answer 1

Have you considered raising pets or gardening? I have friends who enjoy both these things very much. Also, have you considered volunteering? There are some organizations that even need telephone volunteers who make calls from their own homes.

Sometimes various non-profits or charities need folks who will phone to remind members of upcoming events, or who will phone to invite the public to an event.

Sometimes -- if you're a member at a church -- help is needed with just talking to some of the folks who don't get out much.

Other types of phone volunteers are sometimes needed by different organizations.

If there is a non-profit or charity that could use your help one afternoon or evening a week (and it wouldn't interfere with your homework) they may even be able to arrange a ride for you. Maybe not, of course, but you'll never know unless you phone and ask.

Answer 2

What's wrong with arts and crafts? Some things that you can make in arts and crafts could make you some money--if you put enough time and effort into it.

If someone else is home when you are, you could play chess, checkers, board games, or video games. (Well you could play video games even alone).

You could collect stamps or coins

You could build model planes and/or cars

You could do puzzles

You could play Solitaire (real or virtual)

You could do some writing (a short story, journal writing, letter writing, poetry, a book).

You could clean up your room (or any room)

You could get things together to have a garage sale

You could construct a kite

You could learn how to cook something

You could learn how to build something

You could get things to donate to Good Will (or some place like it)

You could be reading your driver's manual, so that you can pass your permit test--a lot of people who know how to drive have difficulty with the written test. The sooner you start learning the manual, the better chance you have of passing--when it's time.

You could put in some extra study/homework time

Answer 3

Have you tried cooking? Its a great time muncher and, if your good at it, you could help the folks with dinner. If your a girl, it will make you more attractive. You know the old saying about getting to a man through his stomach. (lol) And if your a guy, there is nothing more attractive to a woman than a man who can cook for her. Something to do with being a metro-sexual. In any case there is a hobby you can ponder. Good luck!

Answer 4

Well, I'm a model builder... little space required and you can move at a slow pace.

READING is a great hobby along with crosswords... builds your vocabulary for that upcoming SAT test !! It's also great for work and the general impression folks get reading your questions and talking with you.

Your question was fairly well phrased and the spelling was good.

Good luck

Answer 5

Jigsaw puzzles. Crosswords.

Answer 6

Read
Write in a journal, or thank yous for that last gift.
Homework
Help mom and dad around the house

Answer 7

Knitting! It's not just for old people, I'm in high school too, and I knit. :-)

Or you could volunteer somewhere....that looks good for colleges. Or get a job.

Answer 8

Sudoku, its very addicting
