Being bored is a problem, especially when you are bored often, so how do you fix boredom? I can help, here is a list of things to do when you're bored.
Cleaning your closet - Cleaning your closet can be relaxing, and some people listen to music while they clean. You can find things that you wouldn’t know you had if you never cleaned out your closet. Also, you can make money if you sell things you find, as long as you don’t need them anymore.
Play a board game - Playing a board game with your family can be fun, challenging, or intense. I like to play Monopoly, Solitaire (which you can play alone), or a card game called golf. Just research what they are and learn how to play them, and then you can have all the fun you want.
Read a book - You might not like it, but reading a book can be really investing and help your mental health. You can get a book at the Public Library, or the school library. A series I like is Wings of Fire. Pick out any book as long as it looks like something you would like to read, or just grab something and try it.
Play a video game - Whether it’s Pokemon or Call of Duty, video games are fun and exciting, while they can make you mad it’s awesome whenever you do well in a game, it's fun playing with friends which you can do in most games, tons of games are free to play and if you play for a few days in a row some games give you rewards. It doesn’t matter if you like racing, fighting, puzzles, or even building, you can do that, just find the right game.
Find new music - Tired of listening to the same stuff? Find some new tunes! Listening to songs you’ve never heard, it can open you up to a whole new genre of music, music also helps with relaxation and calming down. There are so many different types of music and tons of new artists are making songs, so now is your time to try listening to them.
Those were 5 things you can do when you’re bored. If you can’t find something that you would like to do, look on other websites and try those things. Sometimes you just have to try new things and this is the perfect way to, and you also don’t get bored.
