I am certainly sorry for your past experiences with bullying, trying to meet expectations, and potentially using drugs and alcohol as a crutch. However, I think it may be worth reconsidering your position that only talking to or having relationships 2 people IRL is satisfactory. Precious negative experiences with people does not mean all people are bad. With effort, you will certainly find people who expand your worldview and enrich your life. Best wishes.
- jsiaajdsdaa 5y agoThanks for writing and I appreciate everything you've said :) I'm certainly not like, inherently distrustful of people or a shut in. Actually I'm quite talkative and find it pretty natural to talk to people. I just don't think that kids should have to be forced into the same building for so many years of their life. Voluntary school is great, but I don't think the trope is always true that homeschooled kids are "freaks and loners and nerds who will faceplant in the real world", which is my opinion on what the popular sentiment is here. I don't think the risks of in person school outweigh the benefits.
- SCUSKU 5y agoGotcha, I apologize if I came off a bit condescendingly, it's just hard to tell how people truly are based on a single internet comment. I just have friends who have really shut themselves in light of COVID, I think almost to their certain detriment. And I have found myself in similar patterns, and have recently begun correcting that and have been on a bit of a personal crusade to combat anti-socialism in the guise of introversion. But I digress. I was wondering if you elaborate on your position regarding homeschooling and the risks of in person school a bit more? I am curious to hear your perspective. Thanks!
