Bored with life
So the title pretty much says it all. I feel like the earth is moving but I'm stuck standing still. How can I make life fun again. By the way I'm 15 so it's weird that I'm having this like midlife crisis. Please help I have no idea what to do!

Well, when I was 15, I was out on the streets trying to get arrested... not intentionally, but that was usually the underlying consequence of whatever I was doing. It was a lot of fun, but it's terribly stupid.
So... 15 and bored with life... It sounds like depression to me. At 15 the world is supposed to be moving with such velocity that boredom is always, always, overshadowed by drama and high school preoccupations (like sports or drug use, or something akin to those).
The fact you're experiencing boredom tells me that you're not living your high school years to their potential. You're supposed to be being an idiot and having fun. I'm not saying go become a heroin addict (because I'll tell you that it's not terribly exciting either) but go out with friends any chance you can. If you have no where to go, hit a park and just run around. You'll figure out something to do.
Learn to skateboard or go out for the actors guild or something. Figure out what you love and obsess about it. You're at the age for it.

honestly i love this question. I know exactaly what you are talking about! My solution was to start hanging out with friends more, I know that sounds boring..but if you were like me I had a period of time where I didnt want to go out because I thought it was going to be boring, but after forcing myself to go out I felt alot better. Try hanging out with different friends too, just to mix things up a little bit. Ask your parents if you could go on a little vaca or go somewhere exciting one weekend. Also, try to brainstorm ideas on different things to do with friends, like instead of going to the mall every weekend, go to a party or go ice skating, or bowling, or roller blading. When the weather gets nice you can go to the park or have a picnic outside. Maybe you can throw a mini party sometime this weekend?
Good luck!!!!

I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.
I do not think it is weird that you feel the way you do. In fact it is somewhat normal unless you are getting deeply depressed over it.
You are 15 years old; no longer a child, but not yet an adult. I call it the limbo years. Now is the time to show your parents and teachers that you are becoming a young adult and can be trusted to do some of the adult things you will soon be old enough to do such as driving and dating.
How do you do this? You start by doing things without being told to or ask to do. Find activities to occupy your time rather than sit in front of the computer or your Xbox. One great way to show you are becoming more adult is to find a volunteer activity within your community. Just about every community has a senior center or some type of outreach program(s). As you get older there will be other volunteer activities you will be eligible for such as a community ambulance service or volunteer Fire and Rescue Service.
These programs need volunteers to function and to meet the needs of the people they serve. When you find the program that is right for you, you will find it to not only occupy your time but to be a very rewarding experience as well. If you are planning to go to college these types of activity will look extremely good on your application as well and will help with your job search later.
Aside from volunteering there are a whole host of activities such as sports, music and academic clubs at school you could look into. These clubs will also introduce you to young adults like yourself who have at least one similar interest to build a friendship around.
Suggestion: Sit down with pad and pencil. Divide a piece of paper into two columns. On one side list things that interest you on the other side list clubs or organizations that are available or you can volunteer with. Then visit each of these clubs or organizations to see where best you fit in.

Every teen goes through that. The trick is not to go through it alone. Hang out with some friends, find the thrill! The only reason why earth is moving if because it has no reason to keep still. You shouldn't have a reason, either. I used to be completely bored with life. The same routine everyday: Waking up, going to school, going home, do homework, eat, and sleep. I know its boring, but its hard to change that routine. Try to make new friend, physically. Learn something new, like an instrument perhaps? Anything that will keep you busy. Heck, go buy a pet to keep yourself busy too! They are a handful!
Hope my advice helped :)
This was a tough questions ;)
