Does boredom lead to trouble? Boredom sometimes does lead to trouble. In most cases in young ages, sometimes people would actually start to think of things to do that they would know are wrong and just do it because it is something to do. I have been in example in this type of situation and got in trouble multiple times. It is as if when boredom strikes, trouble crosses my mind. When you do not feel stimulated through activity you’ll end up looking for some sort of stimulation, which could be trouble. In my personal experience, I had gotten in trouble because of being bored and finding something stupid to do. In example, when I was in SASA the summer program for Coppin, my friends Shawan, Dominique and I were always getting into trouble because we were bored, one time we threw a party in an unauthorized place at 2am because we were bored, got caught by Ms. Perrish (the head Peer Leader) and she almost sent us home and we would not have been able to attend Coppin State University instead she took our visitation for our first semester. It was not only us three in there it was about 20 girls in the room and we all would have been sent home but that would not have looked good on Ms. Perrish part if she would have sent us all home. But a lot of teens are this way, they tend to get bored and do stupid things. In example, I read this essay on blogspot.com and this girl said she tends to get in trouble as well. In her third paragraph she states, “For me, boredom can lead to trouble. Why? Because when we get bored, it is possible that we try to find something more exciting. Here are some activities we usually do when we get bored.” She makes the point that this is not uncommon and that other teens go through this. However, my friend Dominique learned her lesson, keeps herself occupied, and stays out of trouble. On the other hand, Shawan and I, do dumb things as if we have a death wish or wish to not continue
