What is a good hobbie for a teenager?

Question

my son needs a hobbie that isnt too expensive and doesnt involve computers. this hobbie needs to be FUN!!

Answer 1

how old is your son?

Answer 2

Skateboarding. I used to be 20 pounds overweight and sit infront of my computer at least 10-12 hours a day. Then my friend introduced me to skateboarding and now i only myspace and yahoo answers for about 10 minutes a day. I am now 12 pounds underweight and i cant get enough of skateboarding.

Answer 3

Drawing, painting, jewelry making, go to your local craft store and see what he likes ;)))))))

Answer 4

i would suggest a music instrument, but music really doesnt become fun until you get a basic understanding of the instrument and then can use it creativly. it takes patience, plus music instruments are quite expensive. thats actually all i can think of... you could give it a try if you think he would take to it.

Answer 5

Well I'm not sure why you wouldn't want it to do with computers, but ok. Anyway a good hobby that involves learning that I find VERY fun would be electrical engineering. www.hobbyengineering.com is a site that has kits for kids to adults as well as individual components. That is unless you don't want him to be tech savvy, in that case I have no clue sorry. =)
