Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of quarters or half dollars are $500. You don't have to buy the whole box. The bank can pull out whatever amount you like.
Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin album and try to fill all the holes (get one for each year) or just search for interesting ones.
The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same coins over and over). Everything you find will have been obtained at face value. You'd be surprised what people have found. Check out these links to see:

Also check your change for interesting finds.
Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with the "S" mintmark - it could be a proof coin etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!
It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have.
OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU...

Good hobbies? well if u live near the ocean, you could pick up surfing. Or if u live in some random town, you should learn an instrument, skating, or start learning magic. When you choose a hobby, make sure its something that will last a while. I know alot of people make stuff like planes, but honestly, i doubt that they could last very long. So the choice is up to you.

Sports. You know, playing basketball for fun, or hitting a baseball around. But your never too old to collect cards. Game used, some autographed cards, it is fun. Be sure you have money, casue it costs ya. But not that much if you go on ebay. Or sccards.com. Collecting is fun, try opening a few packs at your local target or walmart, if ur interested, and see where it goes from there.

do any of ur friends have talents that u like? i play guitar and my firnd teaches me, the plus side is that she charges cheap $5 every lesson- now do normal guitar lessons cost that much?
also sports are good, extreme sports or relaxing ones. you can take some tutoring to get better at subjects. art classes are fun, u need the correct gear sometimes... how about cooking classes or just going to the gym?

Cooking, Laundry and other daily chores.
Practice them well, and it will help you in the long run. It will definitely help later in life especially if you want a girlfriend/wife, then that is when it really matters.
(Example: They can't be bothered caring if you are still 'popular' when they still have to clean up after you right?)
