True facts

[@hannahhomeeducates]

This is so interesting- my homeschooled kids do a ton of groups, playdates, drama classes etc. Parents should make the effort to ensure their kid has all the opportunities they want when it comes to socialising.

[@ASmith-jn7kf]

Why? Getting together with others often is distracting, can open your children up to bad experiences and the possibility of good, of getting sick, and of teaching them to care too much what people think like other kids. Everyone homeschools for different reasons but to me I love seeing that my kids are growing into people that do not care about many of the things I cared about and certain things don't even come into their mind that are insecurities of mine. As they get older and their personalities and characters are developed more I can definitely understand if they want to be around people making that happen but if not, then okay. Many people like to be alone, I was not homeschooled and I like to be alone and many school children are anti-social.

[@cdeshaw1986]

@@ASmith-jn7kf So if your kid is anti social the answer is to lean into it and not make them be social at the cost of their education? Seems like nurturing to me. How will they ever learn anything or grow with this avoidant attitude? genuinely asking.

[@alessm2206]

Ooo yes, let them socialize and explore their hobbies even as little kids. I think having those and continuing to show interest in trying new things in high school has encouraged me to do explore and try new things in college and as an adult.

[@lowgpu1687]

@@ASmith-jn7kf Many people like to be alone because of their phones and tiktok, not because it's a natural thing. I believe you're worsening the problem by doing that.

[@bondvabond]

@@ASmith-jn7kfI understand this reasoning and that this is what you feel is best for your kids, but this is a fundamentally flawed way of thinking and will lead to anti-social adults afraid of confrontation and the fear of what others think will hit them WORSE. Humans are a fundamentally social species. The parts that make life worth living are also primarily social things, like family, friends, romantic partners and SHARING our passions with others. Not allowing children the space or time to socialize might seem good here in the now, but children are not going to live at home their whole lives. Eventually, they’ll need to work and move out. At that point, nearly everybody around them has decades of experience socializing, whereas these children do not have the necessary skills to cope with the real world. They become outcasts, struggle with severe social anxiety and struggle to make friends or understand other people’s boundaries. Nobody wants to see their kid get sick, care about what others think or undergo other bad experiences, but these are unfortunately fundamental parts of the human experience we all need to undergo at some point or another in order to develop into well adjusted adults. Trying to block that might seem like a kind thing to do, but it is quite the opposite.

[@jadynray]

It’s so true tho, being homeschooled literally talk to no one but don’t care who talks to them as long as they do

as a homeschooler, i never really learned how to talk to people, and the stress im caused from trying to have a conversation, keeps me from wanting to talk to anyone.. ever.

[@fleeeexy]

This, I truly can't relate with her bc my social anxiety probably exists bc I'm homeschooled

[@TiddlyBlinx]

There are plenty of people with social anxiety BECAUSE of schooling, too. My dad was extremely social in school, but now he's reclusive. Being homeschooled, I actually get a lot of time to think about decent behaviour, kind things, and what to say. I read my Bible and get to prepare and perfect the next interaction before it even happens, so that everyone walks away from it happy. Staying calm and being honest are very important. Everyone can detect honesty and it is very admirable, it can relax a conversation immediately. I hope you can enjoy your social interactions soon, too. 🙂👍

[@picori.]

@TiddlyBlinx you’re totally right, and i agree with everything you said. in many ways, homeschooling has been a blessing to me. but im also certain it’s the reason why i struggle to socialize so much. however, when it comes to schooling (and most things in life), there is no perfect, fail-proof option. thank you for your thoughtful response

I'm introverted, I hate making new friends, and frankly most people in my life are not worth talking to.

Im homeschooled and what she says about not talking to people much is true, the only things i fo is go to church, occasionally shopping, and playing for my football (soccer) team.

[@Teen_Titan_Dreams]

She’s right. I was homeschooled my entire life, and i had no idea why so many actually nice kids wanted to be friends with me, but i realized i really didn’t care if they were popular or not, i just cared if they were nice. I would never get upset if there was a “mean girl” in the friend group, because my emotional maturity was so far beyond my age, i didn’t see them as a higher up just because they were a bully, i honestly just saw them as immature. I’d make SO many nice, honest friends, and i still do now (i’m a homeschooled freshman) also, she’s right on the fact that if i was talking to you, that was because I WANTED TOO. The only downside of homeschool is that i developed EXTREME social anxiety, but thats not everyone.

[@barronapples5872]

I’m also a homeschooled freshman, I stopped going to public school by mid sixth grade, only bad thing is sometimes it’s harder to make friends

[@thefallen1383]

As a homeschooler, this doesn't have to be true. You are responsible for your social life now, you are not automatically put in a class of 25. So it's entirely up to homeschoolers how active they are socially.

[@FairFeline]

Not always true. When I was homeschooled, both of my parents worked, so there wasn’t any time for extracurriculars or visits to the park to make friends. It would sometimes be weeks between seeing people outside of my immediate family, much less peers.

[@user-qk7ek1ug9e]

This just shows how successful homeschoolers can be. And yeah, maybe we don’t see people as often, but that doesn’t mean we can’t socialize. We actually love to see people and we cherish friendships and our time together because we don’t see our friends every day.

Back in high school, I had a crush on a co-worker who was a year ahead of me. She was home schooled until grade 12, came to my high school for the final year. By social standards set in my brain, I had made peace that we would just be friends, given how devastatingly beautiful she was(and of course by social standards, not just my own). I spent a lot of time with her, bike rides, hanging out etc... Let every single cue fly over my head. She was so obviously interested in me, but I had been conditioned to ignore that possibility to the Nth degree. She ended up moving away during college, and to her I guess I was always that oblivious friend she had a crush on. Wild learning experience in retrospect.

That’s what so great about Classical Conversations! Classical Conversations people leave a like on this comment! “CC” is a homeschool co-op that lets kids have a community day where they make presentations or have class discussions. Unlike a normal classroom, it’s not just the teacher talking, by high school senior students lead most of the subjects and throughout middle and high school homeschoolers talk among themselves about the topic. It’s awesome, I just graduated from it. I had to write a 20 page senior thesis and defend it in front of a panel of judges in front of an audience. It’s a brilliant curriculum and community that teaches great things in great ways.

[@Romns1513]

To be fair, she is clearly an extrovert 😂 I am introverted, and would have preferred to be homeschooled through high school. I probably would have finished early out of my own initiative and been able to start working and exploring real life earlier, instead of being stuck in classrooms with weird people for a decade of my life. Also, there are plenty of homeschooling programs that allow for more peer interaction on a weekly basis than you would get doing everything with a parent at home. It’s not black and white, and every kid is different.

[@warriorstudeo188]

I grew up being homeschooled. I didn't feel like I was actually as sheltered as it is explained. It's not like I was trapped in my house. But, if I went out and saw some kids I wouldn't know who they were because I didn't see them because they were always in school.

[@Eeveeswhimsicalwonders]

This is why I’ll always be 50/50 on homeschooling. It’s great for some people, and for others, it’s not so great.

homeschooling doesn’t have to be like this. if you want to make friends you need to put the effort in. same goes for public school. you aren’t going to automatically make friends unless you put yourself out there. i am homeschooled and i have many friends that i have met through different activities. (theater, ballet class, art class, etc.) there was a period of my homeschooled life where i felt very lonely. once i started to put an effort into socializing i made many friends. homeschooling doesn’t have to be isolating. if you’re homeschooled and feel alone i promise you it gets better just try to really put yourself out there. don’t be afraid. ❤

Heyyy! Homeschooler here. One thing I’ll say about being homeschooled is it reallllyyy prepared me well for adult life. Like the ability to just be cool with anyone no matter their age, knowing how to manage myself, understanding my learning style and how I operate, are serving me soooo well. I know a lot of people my age have a hard time adjusting into the life of having to make the effort to make friends instead of just being around them at school and stuff like that but tbh being homeschooled I kinda missed that step. It was always an effort to go out and socialize. Now I’m a huge homebody introvert so I like the excuse to be by myself lolol but adult life feels so normal in that way

Yes we are! I too am homeschooled😂

[@kyleighg9363]

As someone who was homeschooled my whole life, I was out of the house more than I was in it. I helped at a private school, I taught music lessons, I was in band, I taught classes at church, we did school at Starbucks, I went shopping often, and I had a job. By the end of my day I was never wanting to be around more people, I wanted some peace and quiet.

homeschooled kids r so underrated we r the best

I’m being homeschooled soon and my tip is to emerge yours lord with friends. I go to every single church activity, sports practice, and I still do sports at my old school. Plus I do stuff with my friends frequently

[@GraceMelia]

Omg, yes, I don’t see that many people, and I get so much anxiety after talking because I talk about my self to much 😂

[@KOSHI08281]

As a homeschooler I talk ALOT more than you would think. But I’m antisocial so I find like one good friend and ramble to them for an hour.

[@Crystal.Butterfly.]

And that is why most of my friends are homeschooled

[@lit-4203]

I've thought for the longest time that everyone should be home schooled. No more school shootings. Interact with your family more. Be outside more often. But the only thing wrong with it is the parents. Some people just aren't fit to be a mom or dad

I’m homeschooled and this is 100% accurate

[@lisafowler16]

My kids are homeschooled and say hi to everyone when we go out. My son who is 8 will go up to kids at events we go to and ask if they want to play and hang out. The whole not being social is a myth. I knew kids in my high school who were not social and they were raised in a public school setting. It comes down to personality!

[@omegagames282]

I have two friends who were homeschooled and yeah they talk a lot. I fucking love them lol

[@27Zangle]

My son is being homeschooled for the fourth year now. He has some problems (ASD1) with extreme anxiety and he has had to watch his mothers health go in decline while he grows up. We make the days simple and use more real world applications for experiance and explination. I've learned he is VERY hands on and unless you know what to look for, he appears and acts like a normal child, and is rather intelligent as well, but only if it is a subject that interests him. We had a problem with the local school as it is one of those country school and if you don't play sports for their teams or in their marching band, then they don't care about you or the bullying that takes place as they're going to protect their stars. Other parents have had issues. We would like to move but we really like our apartment location, neighbors, and being out in the country.

[@cutirose]

but where ? the school experience studying and learning with people is best especially as I am an only child

[@aucoinhorror]

​@@cutiroseWhen I was homeschooled, I did (at varied points) sports, dance classes, acapella, community theatre, volunteering, book clubs, youth group, homeschool art meetups, weekly homeschool park days, activities at my local library, my local aquarium/art museum both held classes specifically for homeschoolers, etc. So I saw people constantly.

[@cutirose]

@@aucoinhorror Nah I mean for only child homeschool is a bit lonely without any siblings at home. Its good for those with many siblings and cut off ost which can be used for good classes like you had

I went from public school to being homeschooled and she is speaking FACTS. Being homeschooled has turned me into an extrovert

[@Borninthewrongera]

Classic giveaway a kid is homeschooled is that they are comfortably and respectfully speak to an 80 year or a 1 year and everyone in between. Self confidence is naturally off the charts when you arent constantly comparing yourself to your peers, and being belittled or pressured by them.

I am homeschooled and I’m the same way. I have no care for trends or social media or what people think about me. I don’t talk to people a lot because I’m shy. I mean, when I get to know you, yeah. I talk. A lot. But everything she’s saying is true. The difference between my friends that don’t homeschool and my friends that do is amazing. And I would much rather hang with my homeschool homies.

Being homeschooled sucks, Because of it i have anxiety, Depression, I am not socialized, I have no friends, I have been homeschooled my life and it is hell.

I was homeschooled too and its terrible, i feel for you😔

[@FlabbyAbi]

31, homeless, no skills, everyone points out how stupid I am. Please look into colleges and getting a decent, achievable career. I chased working with animals, no money in most jobs, not skilled enough to train to work at a vets etc. My friends have gone on to be speech therapists, teachers etc (the one's who I was told were stupid and wouldn't get anywhere) and own their own homes. There's still time for you. And you will make up for being lonely now, later in life. It's tough and lonely but you'll get through it.

[@VibewithPriscilla88]

[@Alisa-uu1ye]

It’s lonely, bro. Ever since Covid, I’ve been studying online at home. Then, I still chose online school when they let us pick between online or offline only to realize how lonely it was and that I got extremely scared when I’m in public alone.

[@jackiehood1693]

Despite being home schooled from 8-12th grade, I was quite social! I was out of the house every chance I got 😂. People were always shocked to hear that I was homeschooled because I was so social. But I enjoyed my alone time when I got it. I would recommend homeschool over public school because you get more time with your family and more time to do things you really enjoy doing.

[@foxmocs6443]

I was homeschooled and talked to people all the time. More so than many of my public school friends. Really just depends on your situation and community

[@user-rg6kc4jy7z]

I’ve been homeschooled my whole life and last year I started 7th grade and I went to my local public school, and it was the first time I had ever gone to a school. I live in a very small town so I knew a few ppl or atleast knew of them and it’s a 3A school so it’s small lol. But the first week it was very hard but bc I had been so social it was very easy to get new friends bc o also have an extremely bubbly personality, but everyone wanted to know me bc I have always been raised in Christ and to be kind always. So now I am much more popular thank I ever thought I could be. I look back now and I can see that God really had his arms wrapped around me throughout the whole journey,. And I do believe that I have helped so many ppl just by listening and praying for them and being a friend to everyone bc I do truly believe that there are only two groups of ppl in the world, your friends and the friends you have yet to meet. No one is our enemy except for the devil. But I do believe that being homeschooled until 7th grade has helped me be the person I am today and I thank god for all the blessings he has givin me and how I can see his fingerprints everywhere and I can help others see them to. I hope my story can help someone.❤🥰

[@felimmanderson2236]

I am a happy home schooler! It is great but she is CORRECT! I don't talk to many people outside family mostly. So I will talk and talk when I meet people🤣🤣🤣 It is NOT a bad thing but it is pure fact that you want to talk to me but I will talk more.

[@iLikeMotorcycles2922]

As someone who's homeschooled, this is a very accurate description of what it's like to be homeschooled.

[@Lloyd_Water]

Not really in my opinion there are 2 outcomes to homeschooling what she said and the exact opposite to what she said now it probably 100% comes down to the child and not how they were raised on whether they are social or not like i cannot for the life of me be social to people im talking too but im pretty social in online games where i dont have to use my own voice and can just type it

[@iLikeMotorcycles2922]

@@Lloyd_Water I totally agree. I'm definitely not a very social person, but once I start talking, and feel more comfortable, then you can't get me to stop. 😅 I also prefer being online when interacting, because face to face conversations are very intimidating, but I often realize how much I enjoy talking to others, once my parents force me to. Lol 😂
