Like the Title says... I have dedicated myself to Enjoy my Entire Teenage life and i want to enjoy it as much as possible... but how and where to start?

My most memorable teen years were either spent at the beach, a skatepark, or making music with a dj buddy. Find something that gives you a sense of control and freedom, and thats legal; and live it up man. Depending on where you live you gotta adapt.

But in my Current Location finding something fun is Impossible! The Only thing that i could possibly do (Legally, and fun) is Stay at front of a computer. Any other Options???

Hang out with your friends outside.

If you could be anywhere in the world, where would that be? What would you be doing?

Get a little more creative than that. When Ive got nothing is when my mind really gets going.

I love the outdoors; for me growing up in the country having fun was a cute girl, a six pack, and a campsite by a shallow creek. If I had to define heaven, that's as good as life gets for me

You on the other hand sound like you want an urban experience. Maybe not, you're not giving a lot of details, but I'm going to assume that's the case.

In your parents house you can't do much. Like someone above me said you need a skatepark, mall, some place where kids hang out. If you don't have one, well, enjoy that pc I suppose lol.

When you're old enough, you will need to move to the city, or at least the suburbs. Depending on where you are this is a very dangerous idea. You could be in serious danger and be totally unaware of it. Cities are notorious for chewing up and spitting out yokels, and no one thinks they're going to be the poor sap who ends up dead.

Once in the city, get a job. I suggest a restaurant or similar place where other students/people your age work. Also, go to clubs. Between the two you will have direct channels into the local social scene. From there it's up to you, the people you find, and how you respond to them.

Find good people. Don't settle for bad ones, or a group that has a vibe that doesn't fit you; usually these people get each other arrested sooner or later. I can't emphasize those three sentences enough. If you go clubbing do not get involved with the drug dealers; you have no idea who's wearing a wire, and you do not want to spend 10 years in a grey cell for having no common sense.

I would just like to say, in closing, that most anything you read from older people goes along the lines of "I didn't know how good I had it at home, I wish I never had left and screwed up my life." so I'm not suggesting you do any of this. But if you want to do it, that's how I would.

Depends on what you consider fun. I was never a big drinker/party guy in high school. "Back in the day" when I was a teenager, my friends and I would spend weekends hiking and rock climbing. And when not doing that, I guess we were playing Dungeons & Dragons. (Kinda dates me, doesn't it?) Computers were certainly around but we didn't have the Internet or online gaming or anything. If I had that choice now, I'd probably still choose to be outside rather than stuck chatting on a computer.

Get a part-time/Saturday job as early as you legally can. The added responsibility will help you mature faster than you would otherwise, plus you'll have extra money to show for it. It'll put you in good habits when you reach your later teens, and you'll have to juggle studies, socialising and work and money.
