Re: What's on your mind?

[(Anonymous)]

The quickest way to get a teenager to dump a hobby is to insist they teach themselves how to do it.

Re: What's on your mind?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm confused by this. As someone who used to be a teenager who taught themselves all of their hobbies (except bowling because coaches exist), is it a bad thing to teach yourself?

Re: What's on your mind?

[(Anonymous)]

Because teaching yourself something is superhard, a teacher or a parent who knows how to do it and can guide makes it so much easier and more enjoyable. Too hard/don't know how will kill most teens interest in a new hobby real fast.

Huh, fair enough. I guess cause I never had any hobbies that my parents knew how to do lol. Books (and later youtube as an adult) taught me most of my stuff.

Re: What's on your mind?

Seconding this. I definitely wish I'd had people to teach me hobbies as a teen. Or people to pay other people to teach me hobbies.

In the end, my only hobbies as a teenager were writing shitty angsty fanfic, and being anorexic. Fun times.

Re: What's on your mind?

Yeah I'm confused too. Most of the hobbies I picked up as a teen were things where you couldn't just go out and take a class for them, you pretty much had to teach yourself. I mean yeah there were books and stuff, but I'm assuming OP is talking about things like classes or having someone else teach you?

Re: What's on your mind?

I think it depends on the teen, and there's also the question of balance. I liked some guidance, but I also liked learning things on my own even if I made mistakes. The problem with my parents is that they wanted me to learn things the Right Way (i.e. their way, and only their way) and anything else was Wrong and I wasn't doing it right. That was a real enthusiasm killer.

Re: What's on your mind?

Agreed. I always have and will work best with someone who shows me the basics of a new skill and then lets me explore it on my own. I can always ask for help if I need it but I learn better on my own rather than be told exactly how a thing must be done every step of the way.
