#2 is my all time FAVORITE one
I love tacky old scary movies 
Great list!
1) get on facebook
best place in the world
2) find a local library(or other local business of your choosing) and volunteer/ apply for a job
3)find a really cool tree and climb it
4) hang out with friends
5) go to Taekwondo
but i like #2 also, tacky scary movies are the best
Or you could combine baking cookies with mowing the grass and stargazing…
I’ve done almost all of these this summer. All except start a business. Time to make some money I guess..
Thanks for all the great idea’s!
A girlfriend is the best way to make the time go by.
I AGREE! TAE KWON DO IS HE BEST THING ON EARTH
New One to add to the list:
Rage over the local new/national new/international news
No teenager i know would rather do 4,5,6,7,11,16, or 23 than just get out of thier house. Most of my school just wants to be away from thier parents, for as long as possible. (if we get tan in the process, even. better.)
