Answer
Play a computer game (scrabble, mah jong or bridge for me), read a book or magazine, do crossword puzzles or sudoku, listen to music, watch a movie, write in a journal, play a board game, or answer questions here on yahoo answers. Cook something, clean the house, go for a walk, work out, call a friend, send emails, visit someone, or even go shopping.
Writing in a journal is an interesting thing to do, especially when you go back weeks or months or even years later and read what you wrote. Buy yourself an interesting blank journal that represents who you are, and start writing your daily thoughts, ideas, and important events. You'll be surprised at how quickly you will look forward to the time you spend with it each day. And it could become a powerful record for posterity.
Look for a new hobby. Find something that is of particular interest to you. Possibly you might like to begin researching and compiling your family tree. I am sure many members of your family would encourage you with a project such as that. A couple of other things that come to mind that I have found interesting in the past, and they now occupy my grandchildren are learning to do origami (read the story about Sadako and the 1000 paper cranes, and maybe start a paper crane project of your own), and another is learning to tie different knots (most book stores will have a book on the different knots, and it is quite interesting, and also a very useful skill to have).
Take a class - learn the finer points of digital photography, painting, writing short stories, small appliance repair, playing bridge, dog grooming, pottery, home maintenance, carpentry, plumbing, quilting, scrapbooking, or anything else that is offered in your area. Often you can find classes that are free, or almost free.
Finally, and probably most importantly, if you find yourself bored often, consider volunteering. It will give you a new focus in your life, and it is a good feeling to help someone less fortunate or more in need than yourself. It can be a life changing experience.
Boredom is a choice you make, not a state of existence. If you are bored, it is because you are allowing yourself to be bored. Look around you. Most likely you have books, and a wide variety of other possessions. Look at the things around you and think of ways to use them. If there are people around you, think of ways to help those people. Think of others and how to help them, not yourself, and you will never be bored.

Getting a puppy in NYC?
Anne V-B
I really would like a puppy. I am a responsible teenager with a rather large apartment and I live very near to a big park. My parents are OK with it but they would like a dog that medium sized. does not bark, does not shed, and very friendly. So far, the best thing I came up with was a Portuguese water dog. Is this the right choice for NYC? If so, where do I get a PUPPY? Please give specific links. Thanks in advance! xox
Answer
I'm a NY'er. Brooklynite to be exact.
Now, since you live in an apartment with your parents, they will have to find out if its OK with the landlord, co-op or condo board first. Many apartment buildings have weight limits, so they will need to find out if this applies to the building you live in.
There are many breeds that a low-shedders, medium sized and not yappers. You do need to know that Portugese Water Dogs are very active dogs. I have friends who own them, remember, they are a working breed. The other breed that would do well is a Miniature Poodle or maybe even a Standard Poodle. Keep in mind, that both breeds need to go to the groomer at least every 6 weeks.
Once you decide which breed you like, you need to visit the Portugese Dog Club of America, the Poodle Club of Amerca or any other breed club. That's how you will find a reputable breeder. Finding a reputable breeder is important because both, Porties and Poodles have many health problems, from hip dysplasia to autoimmunie disease to cancer.
You can also find the rescue groups for these breeds. Besides beginning at the dog clubs I listed above, also go to the AKC or InfoDog to find an upcoming show. Take your parents to the show, look at the different breeds, talk to the owner/handlers of the dogs you like.
There will be a bunch of shows in NYC and Seacucus, NJ in Feb. There will also be a show in Suffren, NY and in CT. You can find all the shows thru Infodog.
BTW, any dog of any breed or mix, can do well in an apartment. It's up to the owner to give the dog the mental stimulation and exercise it requires.
