I would be physically dragged to the Church if I made a move to protest. Not even kidding. It is hypocritical of me to go. It is even more hypocritical to sing, but it is distracting and I use it as a way to cope. I have nothing else to sing for. I have become quite the fake.
That homeschoolers are unsocialized is a massive sterotype. I don't go to school every day and hang out with other people, but if anything that has taught me to communicate with others in more universal ways. Kids around here have nothing to talk about but their gym teacher's indiscretions or this or that occuring in math class. They rarely talk to kids who don't go to the same school, because they don't seem to know how. I had to learn how AND teach them how.

I learned real quick that to make friends I had to talk about them and not me because while people are really quite the same underneath, we had nothing in common as far as lifestyle. lol Plenty of kids in school get into drug, booze and trouble with the law. That has more to do with them being kids and problems at home (which happen wheter you are homeschooled or not.) I'm not saying I never felt left out or was awkward or all the other things they say about homeschooled kids, but that's life.
My parents are not ignoring me, per say. They're probably busy parenting my other 8 siblings. I don't think either of them has ever set foot in a country club in their lives. God, my life just keeps sounding better to you, doesn't it?
This really wasn't to get a group of people ready to scalp my parents. This is my fault as much as it is theirs, if not more so.
