Ok so, i'm 16, and the legal age to drive where I am is 17. I just turned 16, so I still have about a year until I can drive on my own. So basically I have to make 8/10 of my videos at my house, and i've ran short of ideas. I'm not the biggest on hopping on stupid trends, especially if I don't have fun making those videos. I'm pretty motivated right now (from people telling me that i'm stupid for thinking I can get anywhere on YouTube, although I do it mainly for fun,) but I still can't think of ideas. I've been thinking of an idea for a new video for over a week now, and still don't have a start on anything. Any ideas on how to think of new ideas when I can't really go to many places?

What kind of videos do you actually make?
 
You dont need a car to get out of the house. Use your legs, your bike / skateboard etc. Get out of the house and see some local sights / speak to local people.
Take some pictures. Take a pad and pen. Ideas will come.
 
Obviously With winter coming up in some parts of the world I imagine it'll be difficult to just go out and film stuff during this time of year (I remember the pains of being 16 and wanting to make films but being totally unable to due to bad and unpredictable weather) I suppose the only advice I can offer is if your doing vlogs and real life stuff; adapt to suit your surroundings :) if your largely just sitting indoors watching TV, review what your watching...or parody it. if you have any trips planned bulk record while your out and then make 3-4 videos that you can stagger out during your low periods. if your struggling for ideas generally then as a few people have mentioned the best advice I can offer as well is to just grab a pen and paper, go out to a Cafe or a public space and just force yourself to write...it'll suck at first but I assure you as you work out your mental block you'll eventually land in pure gold :)
