Question: High School or Homeschool?? I'm 14 and right now I'm in 8th grade. I'm homeschooled. Next year I have a choice to go to the local high school or I can stay home schooled. When I did go to the public school I got sick every other week and missed a lot of school anyway. But when I wasn't appsent all my teachers and the principals didn't like me and they gave me a hard time. And failed me even though I passed all my tests. But everyone thinks I should go to public school to socialize. When I have more friends now than I ever did in school. I don't know what to do. I'm happy with homeschooling because I learn something and have more me time. But if I don't go to the public school I have to deal with my grandparents complaining that I don't socalize and stuff. What do you think??

Answer: If you are happy being homeschooled-KEEP AT IT!!  Don't worry what everyone else thinks, do what YOU want to do.  I have just finished my freshman year as a homeschooler, and I enjoyed it, GOT PLENTY OF SOCALIZATION, and had fun while I was at it.  If you do not like public school that's OK.  Everyone is different.  In your case, with your allergies, I vote for homeschool(+ you have friends-do you really want to give them up?)  Ask your parents what they think-they CAN be helpful sometimes:)
