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

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

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. :)

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.

you are just a horrible, belittling swat, who has no mates don't think you can treat people like that
