Suggestions for 15 year old boy

Posts: 4,800 Forumite
Hi all
I'm looking for some suggestions, I need something to provide a 15 year old boy with an adrenalin rush.
It has been recommended that he needs something 'exciting' to do, to distract him from his current hobbies of drinking & cannabis.
It needs to be in the Reading/Newbury area, money isn't a problem, but I just can't think of anything.
TIA Hester

If a 15 year old's hobbies are drinking and cannabis, he needs a swift kick up the 4rse and clip round the ear... not a new hobby.
Where on earth does the money come from?0 -
I think that if he is of the spliff and cider brigade then he would think anything else "boring" and wouldnt make the most of any advice/help offered.Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

Abseiling. White water rafting. One Of those indoor free fall thingummybobs?
I had a 16 yo weed user tell me he'd no idea you could create a high in yourself till he had tried abseiling in the Derbyshire Peak district!
In actual fact anything physical will help. It produces adrenaline which increases seratonin, the brains natural high. A challenge lets them see what they can do!0 -
Girls??
An old colleagues boyfriend who had some car theft problems was put on a course doing up cars for banger racing to channel his interest in cars in another direction. Maybe something like that?Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)
December £361.54, November £322.28, October £288.52, September £374.30, August £223.95, July £71.45, June £251.22, May£119.33, April £236.24, March £106.74, Feb £40.99, Jan £98.54) Total for 2017 - £2,495.100 -
Go carts? Paint ball? Theme park? Go ape? Starting a sport of some kind?0

Go ape? Forest Segwaying?I'm never offended by debate & opinions. As a wise man called Voltaire once said, "I disagree with what you say, but will defend until death your right to say it."
Mortgage is my only debt - Original mortgage - January 2008 = £88,400, March 2014 = £47,000 Chipping away slowly! Now saving to move.0 -
Skydiving?
Actually though, the whole plan seems to be designed to reward him for being off the rails. Is that the intention?0 -
Bungeejumping? Parkour? (not sure of the spelling!)
Kids do all sorts of things for an adrenalin rush, but most of them, including parkour
, are not really adviseable. What sort of stuff does he like, apart from booze and cannabis. Sounds a bit worrying for a 15 year old. 0 -
