How buisy is your schedule when you were a teen?

Just how buisy do you get during your teens?
I seem to be very lucky and that I have way too much free time on my hands. During the school years I would mainly have: School for 5 or 3 hours since I had early release, go to the Library for 6 hours being on their internet for most of the time and go home and continute to do that for most of the time. But then I hear other people say that they: have school, some study class for a few hours, or have some sporting event after that, and then hang with friends or GF and the whole time I am wondering how do they have any time to themselves?

Now that it is summer I mostly just hang out at home and most of my time outside was walking the dogs for 30 minutes each. Now I have a transition class where it is a 1 1/2 hour long but 1 hour each to get there and back. So I have 3 hours out of my day and I still hear people having a huge buisy schedule. I don't know how people can be so buisy at that time?

i was extremely busy, mainly with band, orchestra, choir, and swim team, oh, and church. i was interested in lots of stuff, so i did lots of stuff.

It is the difference between being a social person and a non-social person. I was more like you, I did not care to socialize too much so I did not join sports teams, clubs or groups. I did not have a network of friends so there were no parties or socail gatherings to attend. If you want friends, you have to make the effort to get them. I did not think it was worth the effort plus I liked having my alone time. Don't feel bad about being yourself.

All my time was free time. I finished most "home"work at school, rarely did anything with my "friends", and partook in no extracurricular activities.

Alternatively, you could say my schedule was completely full:

7:45-14:30: School
15:00-23:00: Computer
23:00-3:00: Insomnia
3:00-7:00: Sleep

I was always walking around with a friend. We draw comics and tried to write a book together.

We didn't have internet yet

Not very busy. Given how I was, I guess that's par for the course.

Advanced Placement classes did me in. The workload is greater than most college courses, and with 7 of them per day I was doing homework round the clock. Having what I much later learned were AS symptoms, I would have to take a nap right after school. Then I played hockey so I would have to go to mostly away games and not get back until midnight. Other days I had to walk 2.5 miles to work only having a few minutes to eat after walking 1 mile home from school. With anxiety problems I could not keep anything down in the morning and had trouble doing so the rest of the time. Combined with 4 hours of sleep a night I never had any energy and could barely speak most of the time.

In spite of all this, I had perfect attendance from 8th-12th grades and was able to beat my peers to several small scholarships from local organizations and finished with a 4.16 GPA. Aside from that I would not wish anyone to feel how I felt in high school.

The only thing I did as a teen was go to school and come home. I wasn't busy at all.

I'm 15, and don't really do anything expect serf the Internet, try to get my computer game to work, talk to online friends a little, and go out somewhere every once and in while (like shopping, ect).

Before I stopped attending school, I'd spend hours getting ready every morning, to shut the bullies up (I sweat up a river everyday back then, and had really bad acne). Sometimes I ate a small breakfast, I was desperate to lose weight.
When I came home from school, I almost fell over from exhaustion, so I had to watch some T.V., or just sit there. Then I spent some time on homework, ate, exercised, bathed, spent a few hours trying to make my self look half decent, then slept. Either that, or I'd spend most of my time playing videos games when I faked being sick, which I actually was, I had mental exhaustion.
The only time I had any energy after school was after a long break from school, like, about, 6weeks+ long.

When I was a teenager (13-16) I went to school 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, went out with my cousin in lighter evenings, stayed indoors in the darker evenings, and just saw my other cousins over the week-end. Didn't see any friends though (don't think I even had any when I was a teenager).

Currently:

Mon-Fri School 9am-2:15pm
Monday work 4-8pm
Wednesday Chess Club 2:30-3:30
Thursday Debate Club 2:30-3:00
Saturday work 8:15-1:30

At 16, my life isn't very busy. My college timetable has a lot of spare time and mostly, if I'm in college, I may do my homework and then use a college computer and read the news, after checking my inbox etc. Out of college, I'm on the net or sleeping.

See while I was a teen, it was school (5-6 classes), from 6.5 hrs, study in the library till my dad picks me up at 4. My dad takes me to swim practice, get home by 6 or 7. Do more HW, go to sleep by 10. During my Jr/Sr yr, I became a better swimmer and started competing more so swimming took up more of my time with numerous swim meets, weekend practices, sometimes morning practices, etc. I only had frds senior yr of high-school, would sometimes hang out at the mall Fri afternoons. I also worked on and off during the summer. It was relatively busy, not overwhelmingly busy, adequate.

Not very busy at all. In HS it was like go to school, get stoned, watch TV or read or just dink around. No internet then.

I'm about to turn 16, and I totally overbook myself. I'm in my school's band and jazz ensemble, I act for a community theater program, I work for Dunkin Donuts, I'm part of my school's Latino council, soon I'll be taking Driver;s Ed, plus I have to keep up with school and homework, plan my appointments accordingly, and save some time to socialize. I don't get much sleep at all.
