Ok I've been pretty much bored the nearly the whole summer spending 80% of the day and night on the computer(mainly on gaia). Now to must of you it sounds like i have no life well you'd be right.

Most teen are usually out doing something with friends weather it's hanging out, going to the mall, going to the movies, or whatever else you can thing of well not me. This fault is partially on my parents who usually mutes anything I try to let out to them (especially my dad when he's mad at me).

Since the town I live in is pretty small it's hard to find something to do so usually people will go out of town but gas limits that also. Tonight after a very long time I got to go to the movies with my sister and our friends which was fun. And before that I was at my best friends house hanging out with him (and watching him play video games).

My usual day starts at 11:30 am where I ignore the children my mom watches to watch tv or go online. My day ends between 1:29am-4:00am or something like. My mom says I sleep to late well I know that but what else is there to do besides eat and play video games all day? Most of you would say get a job well I had a summer job but thats over so nothing and I'd never work at a fast food place due since I might break out with acne or something worse. I would work at wal mart but according to my sister(who works there) they're not accepting so no place for me to work.

What I want to know is what do I tell my parents and how do I tell them that I want to do something outside my house?

Well, I think they might feel better about it if you let them know where you're going and have a plan set up, and talk to them about it. I can't really explain it very well if I don't know more about the problem with you going out.

You're already in the place it took me 50 years to get to. It's going to be hard to get out of your rut, but if you want a life, you need to push yourself. Find something you're interested in. Something that will determine your career. Volunteer at a hospital or veternary. There are many kinds of places in small towns that will let you apprentice for a summer. Ask around. Get into deep conversations with your parents. Ask them what it was like for them. I learned more about my dad at his funeral than I did while he was alive. I missed that part with him. Go visit your neighbors. Get your mind off your own problems. You could be the someone that changes the world, but you have to get out of your room first. xd
