You could start a string quartet. You could dig a hole. You could invent a wonderful world of makebelive with your creative teenage mind. There, thats three ideas without even thinking about it, I hope your ashamed of yourself. Sorry, i mean nothing. There is absalutely fukk all to do, unless you are loaded and can afford to p1ss whatever money you have scrapped together away on bowling or something. But then again plenty of things are free to do (some prime examples are listed above) so why not just do them, all day, every day, untill you die of boredom. The reason the best things to do cost lots of money is because they are the best things to do. There is a reason, religious retreats, playing football in a field covered in broken glass and dog sh1t and helping the elderly are free activities. Because no one wants to do them.

Read a book, go to the cinema, post on boards, molest foreigners on skype, plan to take over the world.

I feel it's important to teach children arts and crafts from an early age. On rainy days during my teens, my friends and I would get some material and a pattern and make up something on my mother's sewing machine - or do a little knitting or crochet. Other times, we'd make up scrapbooks or re-arrange photos in Mum's photo albums. Probably sounds boring to a lot of you, but I'm certainly going to pass my skills onto my children. You don't need money or drink to alleviate boredom.

Of course there's things for them to do apart from drinking. There's football/rugby/hockey/swimming/running clubs all around the country, gyms, places like Leisureplex where they can play pool/bowling/whatever, local football fields if they don't want to join a club etc.

There's more to do now than ever, so it's absolute bullshít to say the only thing a teen can do is drink.

In all fairness, those are things to do in the daytime, what about night time? Shops aren't open, gyms aren't open, it's too dark to play football outside, pool halls are likely closed after 9 or whenever, bowling and cinema and drink are prob the only things to do in the night besides tv and internet.

You were born to be a mother so... Mother's always find that boring crap less boring than the rest of humanity.

How's is this different than anywhere else? A lot of Leisureplexs are open 24 hours, there's indoor football pitches that can be rented, or the faux grass ones with floodlights etc.

What do other countries have available at 10pm at night that we don't, for teenagers?

Lol, it's funny that someone actually thought of how many youtube hits such a video would get instead of the hilarity of the act in the first place.

I remember i used to always complain about not having alot to do in the suburbs of Limerick when i was 13-18 but if i think about it now there was plenty things to do which we did.

You could always just get a football and have a kick about on the green. We used always cycle out to cratloe woods in clare and cycle down all the trails and stuff, great laugh! University of Limerick also has plenty of stuff to do, go swimming,indoor soccer, astro turf pitches etc.
Hang around town, check out various shops, chill out in the park, go to the cinema etc.

Overall there should be more stuff for teenagers to do in towns and cities around the country but I think there is enough stuff to do already for teenagers not to get involved in alcohol and drugs.
