Why do young people say there is nothing to do and they are bored? This young generation has so much money to spend on gadgets such as expensive mobiles, ipads, computers and many even have cars. I live on a pension and since retiring am busier than ever with so many, interests, hobbies, charities, cultural outings etc., most of which cost very little. If I can still afford to stay busy, active and happy why can't they?

Seems like there is a severe lack of personal interaction & attention to the young growing minds are already 'fixed' into a bored scenario. If boredom is merely a habitual self propagating complaint, it simply needs conducive actions to replace idleness with activities involving others in any capacity, but it's more favorable with some sense of easily discernible goal oriented progress, like YahooAnswers!, Political involvement, Community Theater, Volunteer Work, or anything capturing interest. Disinterest is too easily allowed by stagnate environments. Boredom isn't limited to the young either! We're all too venerable!
