Hobbies a 16 year old can take up?
Watch
Announcements
This discussion is closed.
Hiya,
So yeah, I'm a 16 year old girl and looking to take up a hobby. I work hard at school and currently have a Saturday job, but I want to do something in my spare time, preferably a sport. I did ballet when I was 4, done horseriding, swimming and streetdance over the years, which I really enjoyed. Only problem is, most of these dance classes/ sports clubs are aimed at children and only go up to my age
Any suggestions? :P

Here are some of my hobbies to give you some ideas - maybe you'll find one that interests you:
Programming, chess, Esperanto, writing (essays and poems), badminton, aikido, rubix cubing, running, piano, juggling, politics, reading, philosophy, French, games development.

Archery, too often overlooked 
(although, possibly due to the cost of a lot of beginner courses. 
If you're going to Uni when you're older, you may want to look in to it there...I highly recommend it! )

What about asking your school what extra curricular clubs they have? It would be cheap too.

Wow! How do you find time?! I thought I was doing well with 2, and one of them's kind of half hearted!

Haven't done much badminton lately since I don't have a partner, and I misplaced my rubix cube, but apart from that I still do all those.I live very consciously of the fact that if I'm not careful I'll fall into a situation where I'm just floating along with not much to show for it. I used to have a mechanism through which I'd be forced to devote a certain amount of time to different self-improvement activities every day, but I abandoned it when I got a full-time job after uni. Right now I just jump from spending time on one interest for a while, then switch to another one. The last few months I've been concentrating on writing, aikido and Esperanto.
The only bar to having lots of hobbies is your priorities.

I keep meaning to take up others, but end up shelving them when they start eating any of the time for the main one, which isn't very adventurous

What about netball? I play it and I really enjoy it and it's a good sport to play if you go to uni as well?

Well look on the Internet or at your school like on a notice board for local clubs in your area and start there? That's how I got started and I went along and the club were really nice and welcoming :-)

Flower arranging
Stamp collecting
Learning to play the air guitar
Bird watching
Looking at trees
Knitting
Train-spotting
These are just a few of the many things you could spend your time doing.

Rowing, badminton, cycling, basketball. All good
Even the gym would be distraction from everyday life.

Yeah, the only problem is with my school, is that every week, only like, 2 people turn up:/ And I could try and google local clubs, but a) how much do they tend to cost usually? b) are they seriously competitive?
