Life isn't boring. You may feel bored sometimes or a lot of the time but theres a whole world out there for you to entertain yourself.
What would be boring is if we lived in a dark room, with nothing in it or no body around and that was all there was to life.
I think the point of life is just to see what you can achieve and make of it. I don't mean by being really rich and successful but little things like making friends, having children and enjoying your time on earth is all the reasons why we were put here.
I also think suffering is an aspect of life people wonder about. I think we are given challenges to overcome which in the long term will help build us stronger as a peron.

The meaning of life to me is to explore.You must not think that there is nothing to see,do,hear,find,touch,fell etc.The minute we say we are bored we stop exploring.Do something different every day and build on that.You may be very young and have all your life to live or you may be older and in a rut.I don't know but look at life as an adventure and have fun along the way.Start by doing something simple that you have previously rejected.See the fun and wonder in things and share with others.Have a great life because we are a long time gone in the end.I am probably a lot older than you and I feel like my life has not even begun yet.Feeling bored is something that you can get used too if you allow it.Trouble is it is hard to overcome once that happens.

personally, i think the point of life is to recognise and appreciate actually having a life.
If you find life boring, then do something different. Try being spontaneous, do something you've always been afraid of e.g. skydive, or go on the holiday you've always wanted. Just do something that will make tomorrow different from yesterday.
If you want to be more purposeful. Try some charity work or practice random acts of kindness or give yourself some goals to work towards in the next few years.
The main thing to realise is that you have a life and that it is up to you to make the most of it.
Have babbled on a bit but hope this helps.

Life has no set point or meaning- it is the ability to create and destroy. Really, the universe doesn't care about life. It can't. All the same, you can effect what happens around you. Even in small ways. Because everything is so very, very small in the end.
Boredom is only for those too choosy. Find music in the hum of electronics, and fun in the crunch of new-fallen snow...

man, life is to short to be bored. find something to do. Create memories with friends or family. Its true, the only thing that is certain in life is that one day, we will die, so enjoy life while you can. For me, the purpose of life is starting a family one day, and finishing school. trust me, one day, when you get older, you'll wish you used your time better. it's not to late man.

The beauty and cruelty of life is that it's purpose is individually subjective, until you get married or enter into some kind of partnership,or live your life attempting to balance the two.

Thats a deep question.
I guess it depends on whether you are religious. I'm not so my view is that you make your own purpose in life. I also think that reproduction of the species (whether it be a rabbit, ant or human!) is purpose in itself....
...but as the saying goes "life is a *****, then you die"!

All creatures on this planet exist to perpetuate the existence of its specie, this is done trough reproduction. If there is a purpose to life this must be it, in my opinion , however, human don't need to produce an offspring to perpetuate their existence, because we are cultural beings and our evolution from here on should be cultural, we perpetuate ourselves through our ideas. Our legacy is no longer our children, but what we tech them and to others.
This being said, I don't think life as a meaning by itself, we have to give-it one ourself s.

To be bored is the greatest insult to ones self. I think if you ask yourself why you are bored you might get to the bottom of things. What occurs to you to do naturally? That's where your desires lie. The fact that you asked this indicates that you would like to change things.

Life is what you make it sweetheart. Even down to what you allow others to do to you. Boredom, or lack of it, is down to you and only you.
We can't possibly blame life or anyone else for what happens to us. Procrastination, ooooh, big word, is an easy thing to get into and a hard thing to pull ourselves out of. Only you can do it hun.
