Big Decision on Homeschooling?

Question

So lately, school has been really hard on me... and my family made a decision that my mom would homeschool me for about 3 months to help me get back in the swing of things. we talked to the school and they already said it would be alright. but im so scared the I will lose my friends and miss out on the fun stuff at school and I'm also scared they will give me new classes, when I already love my classes now =( I'm really upset about this but it's something I need to do to get some extra help. It's like my life is falling apart and I can't get it back together =/

Answer 1

Homeschooling really isn't bad at all, in fact, I wouldn't trade my homeschooled education for even the best public or private education.  If your friends are really true friends, they'll understand and like you anyhow.  I think your parents made a wise decision, regardless or how you feel about it now.  It obviously will be your decision concerning whether or not homeschooling is good for you, but I'd encourage you to at least give it a chance and not write it off immediately.

Answer 2

Homeschooling is not that bad.  If you want to stay in touch with your friends call one of them each day after school, ask how things are at school, whats been going on, etc.  Don't call the same person everyday, because they get bugged, but if you call a different person each day, you will stay in touch with enough people that you'll still get invited places.

Also join a homeschool co-op, then you'll make even more friends than you have now.

Answer 3

Its really fun. You can chose your own sceduale and everything. You don't have to work as much as would in a public school and you get to choose what times you work and how long you work as well.

Answer 4

If it's only for 3 months, you really shouldn't lose your friends. Call them every day, email them, chat with them in Messenger, go shopping on the weekends...

I was going to continue with addressing your specific fears, but I'd like you to instead look at the big picture: 3 months. It's only 3 months. Out of a life expectancy of something like 75 years (that's 900 months). Is it really that big of a deal? You can keep focusing on your fears and build up a whole bunch of anxiety, or you can focus on how you will benefit from this and make the most of it. It's your choice.
