    Need something to do - help!

    I've just finished my GCSE's and in Sept will hopefully going to 6th form - grade dependable.

    So basically, I'm bored. I could go out and get a life and meet people, but that requres effort, and I hate people
    Unfortunately, other people also have jobs and lives so these forums aren't always populated with the lovely people 24/7. I would go and get a job, I've tried, but due to an august birthday and still being 15 (despite people saying I act older than I am), I can't get a job until im 16. Fail.

    So basically, is there anywhere/thing anyone can think of that I can do? I'll probs start selling crap from my house on ebay for a bit of extra cash, but again, nothing that will really replace a job. I might try and get into coding, but i have a feeling I don't have the patience for it. If it involves money, even better but i doubt you would be reccomending it if it did, most likely hogging it for yourself (which is fair enough). I'll stop rambling now, any ideas?

    Erm, do odd jobs for family? cutting grass, washing cars etc etc, its boring as hell but it brings in the monies.

    Do some reading about an area your interesting in, if you like the look of coding try and read up about it/have a play around with it.

    Ebaying stuff is a good idea and as uv got plenty of time on ur hands it wont be a problem to organise taking the pics and the hassle of posting etc.

    Finally the summer after your GCSE's is one ul remember for the rest of ur life, spend time with friends doing watever, trust me! It seems like forever at the time but once its gone, theres no going back however hard you try!

    And yes I have a job, a life not so much atm but at work were allowed free-reign of the interwebz so im usually on here most of the time!

    I'm sure you could get a really bad job at 15, i cleaned a canal boat.. once..

    Actually being in rugby you could almost do it at the same place I did haha.

    just divide your time between cineworld and DVD's. That's what I'm doing until september

    Re: Need something to do - help!

    Hmmm, yeah my mates are trying to drag me into WoW which I'm just like 'no' to. I would do as Mike suggested and watch DVD's but we don't really have any. Parents are too tight to pay me for washing and doing stuff like that, already tried

    Book wise, might start as i have a few, but most of them are non-fiction so its a bit of a drag. Have got a few e-books that i still need to read through about C++

    I've emailed and visited various shops and places for employment but thy ahve all been 'over 15 only please', It's the old Not what you know but who you know. The one person i was planning on getting ajob with has closed down

    Emulate the PS1 version on the PC/PSP... AFAIK the PC version was buggy as hell and needs Windows 95/98 lol

    I have played it on the PS1, PS2 and on the PSP
