Maybe it was just people pretending to be your friends because they felt sorry for you? Because thats a bunch of BS right there. I think homeschooling is terrible, the kids should be given a choice of whether or not they want to be labeled a freak for the first quarter of their lives. Look, its true. Everyone I've ever known makes fun of homeschooled kids when they're brought up. -I live across the street from one. He's not a mentally challenged or anything, but he drives a silver minivan and wears yellow glasses with stars for the eyes. Maybe there are some normal homeschooled kids, but that guy right there is what a lot of people think of when they hear "homeschooled kid." There is no reason to feel sorry for me, at all. Nice assumption though, considering you don't know a thing about me. Very very few people have real "friends". You may be one of the few who have *real* friends. I observe people, and one thing that's always similar is EVERYONE has that one story about "that one friend who stabbed them in the back", I'm sure you do aswell. Thanks for calling my opinion "BS", though. I'll remember free speech isn't allowed, communist. :)
