I've been reading the Homeschool Recovery sub and it leaves me wondering if this has ever been successful, for anyone

edit: sorry if this was unclear, I don't think that a group for people who hate the fact that they were homeschooled is a representative sample of the population, moreso that a lot of the qualitative points they brought up seemed pretty true to me

    I was homeschooled, it fucked me up. My parents didn’t even do the worst job of actually educating me, and I went to college and graduated at a normal time. The big problem was the lack of social interaction. I really struggled with how to talk to people and had to really figure it out myself in college, and i still feel pretty stunted on it several years later.

      Don't worry, lots of people went to normal school and had those same problems

        lmao I near completely shut myself out of social interactions in high school because talking to people is hard plus some bullying in 8th grade. Now I have no idea how to get or keep friends, and especially not a relationship.

        I basically just completely wasted my high school years :sadness:

        True, but there are a lot of things that you figure out by being forced to be around tons of people your age for most of the day that you miss if you’re homeschooled, and imo those interactions are really important
