33.Feeling bored 

i. Do you think school is boring?

Well, I wouldn't say that school itself is boring, though there are kids who find it boring due to some common reasons. One of such reasons is lack of challenge as, regrettably, the education system is not designed to challenge the brightest of the bunch. Another reason is lack of motivation either because kids may feel that none of the subjects they have at school is important enough as there may be other things they prefer to do or because of lack of understanding as when kids are struggling in certain subjects, it may feel easier for them to just shut down.

ii. What things are boring to you?

Well, to be honest, lots of things make me feel bored. But the ones that top the list are doing chores, geeing, being stuck in traffic jams and filling in some documents.

iii. What do you do when you feel bored?

Oh, I try to find something that will bring me pleasure like planning my next vacation, watching a movie or us to going for a walk. The main thing is to switch off.

iv. Do you ever get bored?

Thank god, almost never. I can get bored only if I lack interest to something 1 do, do the same thing over and over again or do nothing at all, which happens once in a blue moon.

v. Do you feel more bored than when you were young?

Fortunately not... as i have learnt how to deal with boredom for years of my life. Being a teenager I just didn't have any experience in combating this psychological state and so suffered from it more often. Now, the moment I start feeling bored, I do my best to switch off.
