I am homeschooled and want to meet online homeschoolers.?

Question

Hey, I am 13 years old, have been homeschooled for a year now, and I have lost many of my friends from public school. I would like to meet other homeschoolers by email or something but I don't really know how. We live on a ranch, so I don't have any neighbors. HELP!!! thanks =D

Answer 1

[e-mail]

I'm homeschooled.

Answer 2

Try epals.  This is a safe site run just for the purpose of linking school kids up in a safe on line environment.

Answer 3

Though other homeschooled parents thought I was crazed, I encouraged my 13 year old daughter to set up both a myspace and a facebook account to allow her to access to her friends and peers in cyberspace.   She has a private account for both and only allows people she personally knows to become friends.  This has worked well for her.  She gets to chat with  both public school and  homeschool friends, and friends from camps, adventures and travels.

The set-up process is simple.  If your parents have you on strict parental controls online, you will need to discuss loosening them up in order to sign up for either type of account

Have them contact me if that turns out to be a problem.  I've worked out a comfortable solution with my daughter that has lasted for several years, and would be willing to share.

Answer 4

For safety, join a moderated teen forum such as the one at

http://www.sonlight.com or

http://www.chfweb.net

I think the one at sonlight has a small fee, but the one at CHF is free.

Do not give out any personal info or e-mail addresses here or on facebook or myspace.  It is really not safe for you to do so.

Also, see if you can find some activities in a nearby city that you could go to once a week or so.    Look for activities you are interested in or find an internship or volunteer position.  Here are some suggestions on where to find homeschool activities:

You can also reach out to some of your old friends and see if they would want to hang out on the weekends or after school.

Answer 5

Yahoo Groups   I repeat:  Yahoo Groups

There are a great bunch of people out there.  Just do a search for your interests and you will find support and communication.
