Tulelake, CA— Why do you complain about being bored? There are many things a person can do without getting into trouble. You can spend time at the library. You can volunteer your time for a local non-profit organization, I am sure they would love to have you.
You can start a teen club and meet and discuss what you would like Tulelake to have that will give you something to do. Like working towards having a Teen Center. You can bring your ideas up at City Council Meetings by getting on the agenda to discuss what your group would like the city to do to help you achieve the goals of having a teen center.
You can have fundraisers: car washes, bake sales, and raffles, etc. You can approach local businesses with your ideas and what your goals are for a teen center. Write letters to people you think might be able to help you with your goals.
Locate a sponsor or a mentor that is willing to help you to get organized as a teen group working toward the goals of having a teen center in Tulelake. Find a place where you can meet like the Tulelake Library or the Family Resource Center.
These are just a few ideas for you to keep from being so bored. The rest is up to you to make a difference. Get organized. Nothing happens over night. What are you waiting for? All it takes is one person, who becomes two, then three and then four and the rest is history...
