Me and my boyfriend do different things now, we go on holidays, try out random things such as zorbing and doing watersports etc, we are looking to travel the world and meet loads of new people on the way.
You have to be ambitious and motivated and 'make things happen' get out there and meet new people, try weird things you have never done before, go travelling, never miss an opportunity to do something, always say yes. You will find plenty of interesting people along the way. Also try hard to do your A levels, they will help you later on!!

Ugh I do know how you feel. But...it doesnt have to be that way
Im not sure if you have a job or not, but I would get one if I were you. And the first 2 weeks, work extremely hard and schedule long hours if you can. Itll be a change, and also after 2 weeks, youll have a good amount of money to spend.
With your friends, Look for cheap shows playing around, go shopping, go out to dinner,get manicures/pedicures, hang out in town- go to the little boutiques, have coffee, walk around. When you do go to the clubs, meet new people. Try your hardest to mingle.
With your boyfriend, go on a romantic dinner (doesnt have to be expensive), go on a picnic, go to the movie theater, take a drive together. Be spontaneous and do something together like bungee-jumping, white water rafting, sky diving, snowboarding, or water-skiing (you'll have money for this with your more job money). Try to take a break with your boyfriend and limit your time together to only 3 days a week. Its not like your married or anything. As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
As for yourself, Id take some alone time when your not with your friends or boyfriend. Get a facial, manicure, pedicure, haircut. Change it up. Buy new makeup and if you have enough money, buy some new clothes. Take a drive alone, go to the park and walk, excercise. Start reading, if you like it.
Well hope you have fun with it! Good Luck!

 What I get from your letter (what I can read of it -- text is hideous) is that you're bored because you're so very passive. In other words, you're sitting around, doing the same things all the time and waiting to be entertained.
You and your boyfriend don't seem to *do* anything on your own. Instead, you wait for something to pass in front of your eyes and entertain you, and that appears to either be music/pub scene or TV. Either way, you're sitting there and watching. You're not *doing* anything. No wonder you're bored. You need to take responsibility for your own entertainment, and it doesn't need to be an expensive trip to a distant club, either.
Consider getting out and doing any or all of the following cheap activities together: get a licence and go fishing at the beach or a lake, take an evening course in art, have a picnic in the park, walk through a science museum, wash somebody's car, go skating, do a local-history tour of your town, create a blog, plan and cook a meal together, or one of you teach the other to do something he/she doesn't know how to do. Go for a jog together.
You can also get out of a slump by helping others. Volunteer to teach littlies to read, one afternoon a week. Ring up the animal shelter and offer to clean cages and feed the dogs on a Saturday morning. Adopt a stretch of road and clear it of rubbish, then post Before and After pictures on your website.
Remember that not everything that's satisfying and memorable has to be done with a drink in your hand, or in front of the TV. And the best experiences in the world don't necessarily fall under the heading of traditional "entertainment". Be imaginative, but most of all, don't just sit there. Make your own life interesting!
Good luck and have fun...
