I am 14 and I have just started to be Home Schooled not too long ago I personanly think it is so much easier to catch onto subjects that I normally had troubles with, I understand parents concerns of not knowing how to handle the "real world" when we get older but when your home schooled you actually have more time to get out into more public places and I still hangout with my old friends on the weekends my ife is basicly the same, and just because were schooled by are parents doesn't mean we have been sheltered or babied and we dont know how to stand up for our selfs in the "real world".
