Is there anyone here that is, was, or will be Home Educated?

I was homeschooled for most of elementry school. Somewhat was forced into public school after my mother's death. Regardless, I had some social awkwardness to say the least.

Rather good at doing math and science, but was poor at reading cause it was never forced at me. Of course, I've becomely extremely well rounded to say the least.

I would recommend you spend some time with groups and stuff, that are your age. It will make social interactions much easier later in life. Yes, people are assholes, but you learn to just ignore most of it. And beyond high school, most people are very reasonable. But still, learn to be comfortable interacting with people.

Being home schooled, if your parents do an okay job, will make you ahead academically for sure. Schools have a tendency to limit students that excel in certain fields, public schools more so.

Anyhow, a word of advice, don't worry about bullys, ignore them, laugh at their jokes about you. If your a religous person, this is much what is meant by "Turn the other cheek". Bullys pick on you because you respond to them. They know you will react, in some way, and they find some humour in that. Sure, you can beat them up, get suspended, etc, and maybe they will stop, but honestly, your best bet is to ignore them, laugh with them, and start slinging the insults back.

Yeh, i do that. The look on their faces is priceless!

Like the other day, one of them calls me gay, and i pretended i found it hilarious - "Ha ha! Gay! That's great!" And then walk off in fits of fake laughter. In the end you end up laughing at the looks on their faces. Good laugh.
