Question
HELLO THIS IS BECKY UM IT IS SUMMER AS YOU KNOW,AND I'AM FOURTEEN. I NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO. I MAINLY GO ON THE COMPUTER AND RIDE MY BIKE SEE IM A VERY INDEPENTENT PERSON SO I LIKE DOING THINGS ALONE DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THINGS I CAN DO TO HAVE FUN I'AM INTERESTED IN ART AND HIPHOP DANCEING

Answer
I think if you are 14 you should think about doing things with younger kids and helping them to become independent just like you! You might be able to offer a little art class at your house or at the park...say, for 4-6 kids...maybe you could charge babysitting rates?! Go to my website for free easy art ideas...good luck, Bekcy!
