Doha has an overdose of ...Doha has an overdone of sporting facilities! The Doha Asian Games are next year which means there are a lot of sporting facilities and events happening.
Also, there are a number of sport and health clubs that you can join.
Soccer is big here and the season is starting soon. Qatar has a number of big names playing in the local league (usually end of career European and South American players who are lurred by the big bucks).
The ATP Tennis Tour also visits Doha and entrance to matches are free!

I personally think there's ...I personally think there's lots for a teenager to do here. I think it's mostly like most western countries with the exception of all the bad influences (No alcohol in grocery stores and such).
Apart from the sports that have been mentioned a billion times, there are a lot of other ones that anyone may join and most of the time get coaching for free. Golf, archery, shooting and a lot of other ones that are completely free.
For the not so sport oriented teen, there's the Scientific Club which is like a club that allows members to expand their scientific abilities. The Scientific Club will die out soon as the new Science and Technology park is opening up soon and lots of major corprations such as Microsoft and Dell are taking part in it.
Movies aren't half bad either. The real blockbusters make it here within a week, while other not-so-good ones make it here in 2-3 weeks.
There's also Alladin's Kingdom which is an OK theme park. Isn't as great as many others but it's OK. This won't last long as it will be changed into a water park.
There are lots of other tid bits but you're going to have to find them out when you come here!

UM ...Listen I AM a teenager and trust me there is not much to do...we can't go anywhere unless ferried by our parents who don't always want to take us and we can't excactly walk into town with our mates.
If you mean things to do as in clubs and stuff there are a few, not any that i personally like though.

WHAT?? ...I'm sorry I just reread Rasheds comment...Alladins Kingdom is Most definetly NOT ok...
My mum was writing an article on it and she took us all down to see what it was like, we were the only people there and 70% of the rides were closed, my 5 year old sister nearly fell out of some crazy bus ride, my 9 year old sister got chased by a stray cat and there was no food to buy anywhere...need i say more?

Well!!! ...Okay, so I'm a teenager (if being twelve counts lol) and I get bored! Well, there are sports clubs but I'm already enrolled, and sometimes I just grab a good book and read. Are there any teenagers interested in starting something cool, weekly or even monthly. We can pick an activity or make a group bout something, and well hang out and have fun! So, I really wanna meet up with some friendzz n I'm sure we can have rockin fun hanging out!

Sports? ...Yea, it is easy to talk of sports but the reality is:
Nothing available at Aspire for kids between 9 to 12 except for swimming. And, what if a kid already knows it?
Between 12 to 16, there are only dance classes between 6 to 7.
There are classes available at various hotels but their prices are way too high for an average income.
In many places, such as Aspire for kids and football clubs, they take only boys (do girls exist?).
So, what if you have a teenage girl, being raised in a compound, being forced to go to the Canadian school with its terrible curriculum and their way-much-too easy lessons for teenage kids?
Does anyone have a solution?

RE ...Hi
I have a 12 year old girl too, she practices swimming here, there are quite a lot of sports facilities also it is probably not a part with what you have in the US.
When are u arriving ? U can send me a private message when you're here, we can probably show you around.
