Everyone says this, but do actual studies that show homeschooled children have worse outcomes socially exist?

  Anecdotal evidence only goes so far, but I knew 3 or 4 homeschool kids when I was growing up, and I feel like there's an answer in the fact that we never learned their names and always called them "one of those homeschool kids" That said, on the other hand multiple people I knew from high school have since overdosed. So there's a spectrum no matter what you do.

    Inviting new people into your friend group is as much a learned social skill as "putting yourself out there" is. I don't mean this too harshly - you were just kids, after all - but I would posit that the fact that your friend group never bothered to learn their names says a bit more about your friend group's socialization skills than it does about the homeschooling kids'.
