So this doesn't mean i haven't been to school at all, and i can and will cope fine when i get a job. Sure, i may not like talking to people but that's life. |

Its a big, bad, bitch of a world out there, and I've said it all before so if I need to refute my point further then go and re-read my posts as i'm sure you would not appreicate my repetition. Actually, this reminds me of a boy I used to know. He started secondary school along with me and 200 other pupils. The only thing was, he never spoke to anyone. Ever. Sure, we tried to be nice to him, make friends, but he seemed uncomfortable with other people so we just left him alone. Three years later, his mother took him out of school and I presume he is now being taught at home. I always wonder what he will do with his life, as he seemed unable to communicate with other children and adults. Perhaps he just won't get a job, maybe that would be best for him. All i'm saying is, this kid at least had chance to make friends with others while he was at school. Now what chance does he have?. |

He may think he doesn't need friends, or he's been hurt in the past and doesn't want to rely on anybody again, but i'm just guessing here. Home schooling can be a good or bad thing, it just depends on your opinion, as we can see in this thread. |
| Biffy Clyro Basket Case Age: 33 Gender: Male Posts: 16018 | Relion: no it doesn't. it depends on the child who is being home schooled. if the child has bad social skills already, it is a hinderance. if they do not it can be of benefit to them. |

Not all children who are being home schooled are like me, it can be down to the parents who want them being home schooled, but that is a different matter.. |

| toxic_tears Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: - Gender: - Posts: 26 | i was being constantly bullied, my friends were were all older than me, so couldnt look out for me,it was really bad, the police were involved, cause the teachers r stupid a wanted 2 draw attention to it  |
| *meggy72*wants2bminority Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 395 | i think people SHOULDNT be homeschooled because it makes the kids less social, sorta lonely it seems... though i did go to this one summer camp with a home schooled girl, and she acted just fine... it depends on the person i guess |
| killing loneliness Idiot Age: - Gender: - Posts: 572 | i'm not for it, and i'm most certainly bnot against it. if someoen thinks it's best for him/herself then go for it. i myself am a very social n hyper person. i can't just sit at home n do stuff...cuz in lessons i can do other stuff lol n have pen n paper comversations with my deskmates and write songs while other brats suiffer the teatchers  i'm just damnright anoying,...no teatcher could stand me if i were alone.  n my mum wouldn't let me be home schooled eatcher...ebing bullied is a bad thing i no..i was a victim for about 5 years but being a rock helps. just ignore them, or...just have your sweet revenge. like me. |
| Comic tragedy Idiot  Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 546 | I don't think home schooling is that good of an option. You don't have any social skill or anything. I would rather go to a public school, because my friends are there. Sure there is lots of drama and stuff, but that's what makes it interesting. |
| Plug In Baby. Addict Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 11334 | People are home schooled because they are bullied at school, they have depression, lots of reasons. I think its a brilliant idea if you need to be homeschooled. |
| BREASTS Idiot  Age: - Gender: - Posts: 973 | It just depends on the child. Some kids are more social than others, whether they're in a school or not. I'm homschooled, and I don't have trouble talking to people. It seems weird that if being home schooled is so bad in some peoples opinion, why is it that every time I tell someone that I'm home schooled they say I'm so lucky? |
| Incubus Jackass  Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 1820 | I don't think people should be home schooled except in exterm cases. I mean if you don't go to school you're missing out on so much like interaction with people your own ages, schedules and other things that perpare you for when you leave. I mean sure kids get bullied but that can happen outside school too, and anyway that sort of thing can make you stronger. Now if the kid is getting the shit kicked out of them and the bullying getting so bad they don't feel like living anymore then home schooling probably would be best. |
| Erin; Technophile Post Whore  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 22706 | I actually think that Home-schooling is alright because it helps the child learn at his/her own pace. If s/he doesn't understand something then s/he could take a day or two to figure it out instead of being tought it one day and then being moved on to Lesson 2 the next day. |
| love. King For A Couple Of Days  Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 2844 | i dont really agree with it...i mean who knows if the kids are even learning anything?...no offense to those of you who are home schooled. |
| Plug In Baby. Addict Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 11334 | dance to this beatxx:The people who are home schooled have to go by the same syllabys that you do. They have to take the same test you do. They just learn at home. To all those people who are saying it makes them less social.. what, do you think that they spend all their time indoors, in a cage or something? They do go out. They do interact with people. The only difference between them and you is that they learn at home, and you don't. There are many reasons why people learn at school. And there are many good reasons for home schooling. For one, its in a one on one environment. They are able to have help. Plus, if they miss something, then the next day they can catch up, instead of just moving straight on. If the kids are shy, then at a normal school they would never put their hand up and say they don't know something. God, I'm shy, but not overly shy, and even I don't like putting my hand up and saying I missed something. If the kid has depression, or a mental illness, or a physical disability, then homeschooling is great, because they wont be attacked or bullied at home. |
| gasp. Geek Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 316 | i was home schooled for a year and a half and i loved it and go close to my tutor. I then went back to school and found it hard to cope with so many people around you and sticking to a tight schedual at home i could start working at 9 and be finished by 4 and sum days finished by 6 cos mi tutor loved green day and things just fit When I went to school my best friend when i was at school was completely different and so where my friends. They all madee up rumors and spread lies. I found it really hard to cope. I was then bullied alot about mi illness and then i started getting home schooled again Id rather be happy at home then go to a school where every 1 teases you |
