Ok I am turning 13 in April, and I never know what to do for my birthday. I'm not really girly, and I have already done the skating rink and sleepover at my house thing. I want to take friends to a water park or amusement park like Six Flags, but I don't want to spend too much money.
Also, everyone else has had their parties at The Bear, which is a place downtown that they rent out the top floor which has pool tables, snacks, dance floor, all you can drink Shirley temples and Lori Rogers, but it's gotten boring. The first two parties, everyone danced (except some twerked). Now everyone just sits and talks, and it's no fun. I don't want to do a spa party or any girly thing like that. Also, I am not interested in a mall or pool party (I don't have a pool). I need help so badly. Please help!

You seem to be athletic. Why don't you have a run or walkathon for a charity that means something to you. People can sponsor you and your guests. After the run you can eat pizza or have something in your home if that would be cheaper.
bowling?
If you really want to go to six flags or whatnot, I think you should go for it. The sky's the limit. But you need to prepare ahead of time. It sounds like you still have a few months.
Here's what you do, you examine the six flags site and make a tally of all the costs. THis would be
1) tickets
2) transportation
3) food or snacks
This will give you an idea of the amount of money you have to raise by the beginning of April. Say it is $500. THen you and a close cadre of friends set about raising funds for this. You do bake sales. You do baby sitting. Sell things on craigslist or the internet.
A better idea, if you can pull it of, is to create a GOFUNDME.COM page. Go fund me is crowdfunding, and you MIGHT need help from an adult to set it up. But you create it, put it on your social media, and send it to ALL your relatives, and say "in lieu of a birthday present (which I probably won't like or already have too many of) I want you do donate, even if just $5, to my Six Flags Party Extravaganza" (of course you would voice it in less obnoxious sounding terms, lol) If you want you can even offer a thank you reward for all donations, such as some crafts that you and your friends might make.
here's some example of some of the less dreadfully depressing gofundme campaigns so you might have an idea:

I really really hope you get to go. It is so rare to actually KNOW what you want in life, the older I get the more this seems true, so I hope you find it in you to follow your dream, trivial and silly though it may at some level feel
Maybe go Pontins for a day out with your friends I've been there every year they will love it. Maybe go here and then maybe go shopping and go to a beauty salon or something xx
a dinner party. black and white.
Actually I'm having this dilemma myself. If anything, I'd consider stuff like Laser tag (that can be extremely fun, especially with a hoard of friends to provide as a team ) Or maybe Go-Karting, which is basically driving around in fast cars around a small area. Also pretty fun.
Cool
Even my cousin is turning 13 in april u should try the trampoline park or laser tag this is is not only fun but really amusing if u do like animals u should visit an animal shelter and feed and pet the animals i live in dubai so there is a paintball park nearby she was planning to do it there also
One of my besties, for her 13th, went to a huge 55ft rock-climbing place and took one friend (me). We stayed at a fancy hotel and went out to eat and went rock-climbing and swimming. It was really fun of course it was a $400 - $800 hotel soo... That would totally contradict the whole "not spend much money" thing. You could try taking it down a notch or 2. You could go rock-climbing and you could have dinner at a restaurant and/or come back home for a sleepover.
Welp, that's my long strand of advice that I have to give you. Happy Birthday! Mine 13th is coming up this week and I still don't know what I'm going to do o3o Remember, you aren't the only person who struggles with birthday party problems. I would guess that 86.99% of the US find it hard to decide on birthday parties. Sounds really sad when You say it out loud...
I wish thou luck!
