Online homeschooling??

Question

i used to be really popular at my school and fun and outgoing but i became depressed and i knew i was about to lose friends because i just couldnt be myself so i went to private school (and all of my friends liked me again..) well at private school i barley ever talked & had no friends & neverhung out with any of them.. so i went back to my public school & everyone was welcoming & wanted to be my friend because they thought i was really pretty and i used to be popular. i was so used to how i was acting at my private school that it took me most of this year to finally be myself again, but i've lost almost all my friends & potential friends in the process. i don't know what to do anymore.. i think the people i sit with at lunch just let me sit with them because they feel bad for me and we don't ever text or really talk to eachother outside of lunch or walk down to lunch with them.. i can't do this anymore, it has become so hard just because of their first impression of me

Answer 1

I think your self image is more the problem then whether you do or don't go to school.  Your feelings about yourself should not be dependent on how many friends you have.  If you don't become more self-assured, you will have problems while homeschooling as well.

Here is some information about computer based homeschooling:

I hope things improve for you!

ok i do an online high school program called WOLF. i like. but if you are feeling depressed then this is a good way for other people not to see it. i would also recamend going and talking to a counsaler. (i have to do that once a week) it helps! and if your 'friends' are leaving you then they aren't REALLY your firends i have friends that when i was in phiscal school i was popular too. but when i got takin out i was scared i was gunna loose all of them and yes i did loose some but most of them are still my friends. and now cuz i have good grades i can go out to movies and on dates and hang out with them.

call your school disrect up and ask them and see if they have something like WOLF. all your classes are online and you do all your work all online.

While I always recommend unschooling, because I think it's a wonderful lifestyle, I think your concerns are more about your mental health.

It seems like you are struggling to figure out who you are, what kind of person you want to be.  This is typical teenager stuff, is part of growing up and developing into an adult.  

You may be suffering from depression, or you may just be confused about your purpose and goals in life.  

I suggest you read "The Teenage Liberation Handbook" by Grace Llewelyn.  It could help you realize your dreams.

Good luck :D
