No. None are avaliable on weekends plus there's youth hubs but they only get together on Thursdays so it's hard cuz I would have to wait to half term and it starts at like 5:30 in the afternoon then parents worry about i being night and stuff like that. That's why I can't go to a youth club either.

It's not boring well it kinda is i guess but mostly lonely especially if you're the only child in your household.

Hey I sorta get you, instead of living in a big city like London I live in a small town where j have no friends. I have like 2 friends total who live about 2 hours away from me. Im 18 now and I feel like I've had some more “exciting” experiences now, but when I was 16 and 17 I would do barely anything. It was hard and I get that feeling of “wasting time” and stuff, I just tried to romantice my life even though a lot of the time I hated it and was easily bored with everythinng
