Great List
That's really a great list of things to do.. that reminds me.. I got to give my dog a bath!
#1 - Mark - 03/26/2008 - 11:03
Happy summer!
So glad summer is here!
#2 - Geraldine Jensen - 06/04/2008 - 10:56
We do not feel that most of your list are fun activities, we only found 2 fun activities.:-(
#3 - People Who Know How To Have Fun - 06/23/2008 - 13:46
boringggggggg
that list is boring just reading it.what a waste of time. most of the things u could do any time of the year. I would do only about 5 of those. sorry but its true
#4 - jessica - 07/02/2008 - 12:28
the truth about this article
there are SOME good things to do on here for teens in the summer but i have to agree with the fourth comment , most of those things on here you can do any time of the year some depending on were you live

i dont think that a teen would want to see
\"clean your room\" on a list of things for the summer reason 1 is because we get told that enough
and 2 is we shouldnt have to clean our rooms because we should be out having fun and not being so bored that we get our rooms dirty

also your list would probably do well if it was a list for bored teens
but not good for a summer list

any way i actually did enjoy reading it ,it reminded me of what i could do on the weekends of a chool year because schools almost here again

#7 - Melissa - 05/26/2009 - 10:11
Boring
Most of the thing our kiddish or not very fun or things people would not want to do, like arts and craft kind of things. When people are looking for thing to do were looking for something that we don't do or hear of everyday.:-(
Maybe you can go to hobby lobby to add on a funnier list doubt it though. Find something let me know
#8 - Michelle - 06/09/2009 - 11:44

To those of u that agree with me u roc:-P
#9 - it dont matter:) - 06/23/2009 - 16:42
Come On People!
A lot of you people who left comments were being seriously rude in the process! If you don't like it don't leave a comment! Leave it to the readers to choose for ourselves.
Thank You to the people who wrote this. :)
#10 - :) - 07/01/2009 - 14:49
Are You Serious
:-(
That was the most boring things to do if you trying to make teens happy then your totally wrong.That stuff is made for kids 9 years of age or younger.Yall really need to try adding something a teenager would do.
#11 - Beverly Jenkins - 07/05/2009 - 13:28
kool
this is an awesome list i been boerd the hole time now i have some ideas thanks;-)
#12 - ashley - 07/23/2009 - 23:32
I read comments about people cursing the woman, but all you can do is critisize. That's totally lame. If you don't like the suggestions, that's you. If you really feel the urge to just bother the rest of us who come onto this site for suggestions with your immature and often misspelt opinions, that's ok as well. Just don't cuss her or other people who think the list is fine the way it is. I must admit, there were some that didn't appeal to me, but as a teenage girl of 16 years, I can confidently and happily say I would find some of these ideas quite enjoyable.B-) B-)

Enter suggestions yourselves. I saw some great ones. But at least try to make your ideas fun..and legal. I doubt that most considering getting hammered or an STD have the intellectual capacity to come up with just five of those but I may just be incorrect. lol
Getting ridiculously intoxicated isn't exactly my idea of fun. It may be yours but maybe i'm just missing out..




on being a screw-up.:-P :-D:-P

Anyone else who bothers to curse this woman or call the entire list lame is a //////-bag, /unt or someone who ///// hobos (without their consent).
:-o >-( :-o


And should be pitied for thier inferior intellect and their ignorance of social grace. Even straight-A-students are sometimes idiots and should be likened to primates.
:-)

Seriously.
#13 - RandomSense - 08/08/2009 - 02:02
you are just a horrible, belittling swat, who has no mates don't think you can treat people like that
#14 - anon - 10/15/2009 - 11:51
Wow
These are borinq and dumb ideas. Who wants to have a tea party? Hmm. Fun.
Not.
#15 - Nonyerrrr - 11/07/2009 - 15:58
Quit complaining!
:-D Come on really! What a really funn girl would do would take these lame ideas, get her friends, and Make It Funn!!!! I mean ya they are dumb but if you know how to have funn like me and my friends, then you would spice um up! If not make ur OWN ideas!! :-P
#16 - Mam - 11/12/2009 - 20:39
Not that great...
No offense but it\'s not that great. Maybe for other people but srry it\'s not me.
#17 - Sarah - 11/16/2009 - 18:21
THIS IS DUMB!!!!!
okay thats a very bad list of things to do! non of that stuff is fun! this website sucks!!!!!>-(
#18 - Zoe - 11/17/2009 - 08:50
No offense, but...
When i first read this list i thought the person who wrote it was kidding.... These things are not fun.
This isn't a list of what teens want to do in the summer... its what their parents want them to do...:-[]

So... be yourself and do what you want, as long as its not bad or anything. If you like this list, go ahead at do it. I'm not.
#19 - Ally - 11/21/2009 - 11:23
I\'m not saying this is bad, but\'s its not good. Some of these things are fun, like the campout or the vacation planning, but clean your room?! You did give me some fun ideas, so thanks I guess. Next time research what teenagers really want to do, only half of these are good.
#20 - kevin - 11/24/2009 - 10:17
hello people these ideas may be a little lame but adults dont know wat we like give her a break
#21 - cassie - 11/24/2009 - 22:05
Ummmm....
At first I thought this was a joke. I was laughing but then I realied the woman was serious. Kinda creeped out. No offense but I think my five year old cousin MIGHT find these fun, because it is at her age level. Those of you who like it, I hope for your sake you aren't teens.
#22 - James - 11/25/2009 - 10:20
HAH!
these are wonderful ideas! i did them all in one day! it was the best day of my life!
#23 - gabbs the hottie - 12/04/2009 - 21:12
no thanks
oh wow that list is pretty bad..boring
#24 - moni - 12/06/2009 - 00:21
Cool!
This was a wonderful list! It is so much fun! Now I have something to do, since I\'m a big loser who has no friends! All of them reject me becausee I\'m a big dork, a tattle tale, never brush my teeth, and like this s**t as they say. This list is perfect for all other losers like me!
#25 - Henry - 12/09/2009 - 09:54
I love this! This list is so wonderful because all this summer I've had nothing to do. I have no friends because I'm a loser, a big tattle-tale, love homework, never brush my teeth, fart every 5 minutes, and I actually like this s**t! I am a huge loser and I'm glad there's other losers out there who actually like it! This list is for the dorks hooray!
#26 - Henry - 12/09/2009 - 09:56
:-)
#27 - dickhole - 12/10/2009 - 09:37
You guys are 4real?? Really...? Pathetic...
You guys are the most pathetic bunch of losers I have ever yet to meet, as a thirteen year old girl i do indeed find theese ideas quite amusing. If you guys are even the slightest bit inventive you could probably jazz up the ideas a litte! I mean come on! There is no need to make fun of peope if they dont agree with you! We have different opinions so leave it at that! This list is made for TEENS!! Be mature for heaven's sake! Your supposed to be YOUNG ADULTS!! Suc it up and move on with your life.
#28 - Anonymous - 12/14/2009 - 17:25
Yay
This was so much fun these are indeed great things to do people stop making fun of her especially the dude who calls himself ____. This is fun people who disagree are idiots
#29 - Lenny - 12/16/2009 - 10:17
hi this list is sort of bad
#30 - bobart man 8000=959407098790 - 12/18/2009 - 09:34
hi

#31 - hi - 12/18/2009 - 09:43
Well, the list is......
Okay, Im not quite interested in these things, but if you guys are apparently cool enough , to even read this, get off your butts and make your own list.
This woman took the time to do this for us and we treat her like a ant, we squish her when she has a family and wants to help.
Are you kidding me!? Get off your bums and start making a list!>-(
#32 - Gabby - 12/18/2009 - 18:48

haha making fun of this list is the a great way to pass time, thanks :-P
#46 - Sarah - 01/21/2010 - 02:05
my opinion
this list is not good at all. and for those of you that think I am being mean to the person wrote this, you are ignorant. The person who said \"if you don\'t like the ideas don\'t leave a comment\" doesn\'t quite understand the point of a comment box. These comments are suppose to express ones opinion on the article and the relevance of it to them. I did not think that this was a good article and from a teenagers point of view these things seem extremely childish and some are just rediculous. cooking? cleaning? doing work? that happens every day.
#47 - Philip - 01/23/2010 - 07:05
Dont be mean
People who are leaving mean comments, stop. Just stop. really. If youhave nothing nice to say dont say anything.
#48 - Jessie Fallen - 01/23/2010 - 22:55
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, no
Thanks, but these ideas...:-[] some might be fun, but having a tea party, doing jumping jacks, and going to the library? I'm not being mean, but you should either take some of these out, or not call this "teen activities". :oops:
#49 - Daniel - 01/28/2010 - 14:46
Wow, gabbs the hottie, you definitely did not do everythng in one day, lmao. Oh, and the list is terrible :)
#50 - Some guy - 01/31/2010 - 11:36
