I'm 13 and REALLY bored. Honestly, school just isn't enough to keep people busy. Anyway, I was looking for a good, cheap hobby. I already play tennis and I'm learning Spanish. I tried Japanese but I had enough of conjugating verbs. I love reading and occasionally writing but I never have very original ideas(too much reading so I always steal plots...*sigh*). I also like to draw but I always get yelled at in class because I don't like to draw at home. Please and thank you!

You don't like to draw at home? Is it because of lack of privacy?
Something good... something cheap... I don't know, is ther a swimming pool near where you live? Can you volunteer at any animal shelters where you live or anything like that? Maybe you could review movies, books, or videogames? I mean, your imagination might not be at its best, but maybe you're good at evaluation.
You're thirteen, so you're in Middle School, right? Check out all the electives in your middle school. Surely there's a chorus or a band in your middle school... I'm not saying learning how to play an instrument will be cheap, but I think singing or drama doesn't cost that much, and it can be pretty enjoyable for some people.

Drawing is a great hobby for you to get into. Explore your creative side as an outlet, get yourself some drawing books, maybe get into painting. Explore different hobbies as you go...maybe even learn an instrument or something.
I'm 19 & it's nice knowing not all of us are a bunch of troublemaking idiotic kids like people make us out to be. Keep up the good work and make sure you keep using positive outlets.

As some people already pointed out, whatever you decide on, it has to something that interest you.
Tennis is a physical hobby, one that unifies physical strength and skill with the mind's ability to process information in a split second. It trains not only your body, but also your analytical ability. As you progress, you will face more difficulties that will continually challenge you. To be bored about such an activity either denotes personal disinterest or having the feeling of superiority (having no one in your class you would consider as a rival).
Reading and writing do go hand in hand, and there are occasionally times that we tend to "steal" plots, but its the unique twist that you add to the plot that makes it yours. You are at an age where you encounter doubts about your own ideas, insecurity about your own talent, and the helplessness of not having enough experience to draw upon to write a story you yourself would consider as a good start. (Been there, done that for me, hence I know exactly how frustrating it feels when you can't write a decent story that's original).
Lol @ drawing since I used to that back in my high school days. Back then, I'd experiment a bit, perfecting just one area at a time. Then I moved on to reproducing anime images, which is challenging. But one thing that kept my interest in it is my drive to copy it down to the littlest detail. One time I was bored out of my mind, so I started doodling in my sketch pad and discovered I have a thing for portraits. They're not that good since I only drew the shape of their faces and their hair, but it helped me realized I can do more than copy existing images. To date, I've done about 6 complete pencil portraits which friends have commissioned me to do, and I find each one a challenge.
From what I can see, you're a very excitable person. You enjoy keeping yourself active, and things that don't capture your interest bores you to death. A sign of impatience. You feel that the world you live in is too small, that you want to go out there and explore it. An adventurous spirit is good, but don't forget to appreciate the little things that you can find right under your nose. Continually look for challenges in the things that you are doing, or about to do. Don't just be satisfied with what you've accomplished, or give up with activities you consider difficult.

depends on what kind of things you are interested in ... like me, I enjoy staying at home so my hobbies all include home like things. I knit, sew, and quilt (I know I probably sound 40+ but I'm 21) and I started sewing when I was your age and it's peaceful.
Now if you like being outside for your hobby maybe you should take up photography (take pictures of artistic looking things you come across)
You can also look in to Painting, You said you like drawing, but you don't do it at home. If you started painting, it would help keep your hobby out of the classroom.

Learn to play a musical instrument well. In three years it will pay off on the dating scene big time. Then you won't need a hobby.

Have you tried plastic canvas? This is a reasonably cheap hobby. Then you can get inspired to draw your own pictures at home to make wall hangings out of.
You can then check out freecycle.org (having an adult help) and find the plastic canvas and yarns for free. I just had someone on my local freecycle give away a lot of yarn. This would make the hobby more exciting as it is something for nothing. BUT do have an adult help with this part.

Really, conjugating verbs in Japanese, news to me.
Anyway, it looks like you need a hobby where you will meet other people your age so you can make friends. Try doing some volunteer work, it's just an idea. You will meet great young people there

How about a musical instrument? You could even join the band at your school. It's a great way to make friends and to develop your artistic side in a non-visual way.

uhhhh well i play tennis pretty competitively and i take upper level classes and i seem to find myself needing more time. and if you have a bunch of little hobbies and are still bored i have a feeling you should take higher level classes, play more sports, read more, write about how you feel after every activity if you like writing.and hang out with friends on the weekends or whenever they are free.
