Homeschooling:
1. Most Important: Do it for the right reason
2. Reasearch it
3. Pick the best books out, because you (should) know how the kids learn.
4. Sign up for a lot of activites (or enough that the kids can be social.)
5. Take lots of field trips.
6. Get lots of advice
7. If it's not working out, find out what you should do. Did you take the kid out because of the schooll (is it bad, are the kids being bullied, or some really stupid reason.) Did you do it just because you want to spend more time wit hthe kids? Sheltering them for a bad reason (and sometimes good.) Was your kid not getting good grades, and still isn't getting good grades? Etc...
8. If there was no reason (or a dum reason that you took them out) Put them back in
There are many more steps, but those are the most vital.
If you aren't social in your life, It can be just the way the kid is, but It is mainly the relatives fault, because when you are homeschooled, you should have more opurtoinities to go places and there are more things to join, I start school at 6:30-11:00 and learn 9 subjects.
It's the parents fault because they don't take the time to realize the kid needs friends and shouldn't be shelterd from social interactions.
Homeschoolers have absoulty the same things Highschoolers have, Proms, and all that junk. I think there are actually (almost) no downsides to homeschooling.
The only thing is if you go out of public/private school, you MAY loose your friends and you may not.
Homeschooling won't work for everyone, but everyone should re-search it. Espesially the people who say it's wrong (and never tried it), because I am sure they know nothing about it.
And I love being homeschooled, I have a lot more free time..And I actually enjoy studying, because my mother picked out the best books, she knows what I like, so it can actually be fun.
Homeschoolers don't live in a plastic bubble (hopefully) so we can cope with the "Harsh realties of Life" At least some can make something of it if they take homeschooling seriously.
Once again! Many of the homeschooled teachers are unqualified! And still they get better grades (ok, not all, but most do.)
People who say it's all wrong have never re-searched it. Re-search it before you accuse it.
Hopefully that gives you a lot of answers. Not all parents have the time and devotion to do it, but I'ts something I would consider for my children, taken that I am homeschooled, and have a social life.
A good peice of advice:
DO NOT TAKE ADVICE FROM PEOPLE WHO SAY IT'S NOT WORTH IT IF THEY'VE NEVER TRIED IT!!! IF THEY HAVEN'T HOW COULD YOU GET GOOD ADVICE FROM THEM?

I strongly would consider homeschooling, at leas to myself...but I don't think homeschooling my kids when ther're in college isn't a very good idea.

If she is truly your best friend...no matter what ur decision is...she will always be your best friend and support whatever you choose to do!!...
I would choose public school if it were me. Only want to get out of your house for the right reasons. If it is that bad at home...then why home school...go to public so it is your link away from home. If home life is good and you just want to get out on your own...well think things through first...u would miss out on a lot of memories from going to a public school....and stop and think..that it is not as easy in the real world then u might believe it is!!...Good Luck in whatever you chose!!

I sugest the public school, you might learn more than you can imagine. I go to a public school, and I'm learning academics that will help me in life, and tips and tricks on how to survive Life.

Don't let your friend dictate your whole life! Do what you want to do!

I should think that you should stick up to your own decision.
