What are some good hobbies for young people?

Answer 1

Nearly any hobby can be good. Hobbies give you something to do other than work or school, provide enjoyment and learning, and keep young people out of trouble. Creative hobbies like painting, sewing, or Photography can be expensive, but have an added bonus in that you can often sell the results of your labors once you get good enough. Active hobbies like sports, hiking, or camping provide exercise and strengthen both the body and the coordination; they are also good for getting you out of the house and into the natural world. "Brainy" hobbies like puzzles, orienteering, or web design improve your intelligence and creativity. Raising some sort of animal (like a pet or farm animal) is a good hobby that teaches responsibility. Volunteering at various charities is a caring hobby that will teach you many different skills and help you communicate with others. Even passive hobbies like playing Video Games can be good in moderation, though too much gets you in the habit of sitting back and letting someone else do the thinking (and can lead to obesity if you don't get exercise).
