hello i'm katie, i'm 13 from dorset in the UK & i am very close to beccoming home schooled. But before we make that choice, i have a lot of questions to ask!!
is it really easy to make home schooled friends like all the guides say it is? What can you do if you can't find any friends at your local home school group?
i don't want to seem insulting, but do home schooled teens share the same interests/have fun the same way as schooled? like, i love to hang out with people in groups and play a fun game or i particularly love singing to each others music.
it's clear that you can be sociable when home schooled. but can you be really sociable? like have tons and tons and friends, almost the popular kid because i love having lots of friends. can you socialize a lot with your old school friends and people who go to school in general? is it hard getting a boyfriend/girlfriend?
when you told everyone(family, friends, school, authorities etc) did you get a lot of negative responses? and did the school try and persuade you not to? is it true an education-y person(i dunno what they're called haha) comes around your house every once in a while to check you're learning properly?
i love acting, singing, and dancing very much and what to do all of them as a career when i'm older! how when home schooling do you do these activities? is drama hard because you're not in a huge class?
Phew! Well i'll probably think of some more questions another time:p but that's quite enough for now:p can't wait to hear some answers! thank you!
