Answer 1

Instead of asking to go to public school (which they obviously don't want you to do) look into classes offered by your local community college for home schooled kids. You'll get out of the house and meet other kids and they might be more amenable to it. See if you can take some sort of non-school related activity at the YMCA, theater, dance or some type of athletic (whatever you are into).
Pretty much everyone gets mad at their parents, there's nothing wrong with it. When they say no ask them why (unless they are so unreasonable that asking why will get you in trouble) and try to think of some sort of compromise. For instance with a blog, if your mom is worried about your safety, come up with a list of things that will protect your safety, rules you promise never to violate. For example: you will only go by a nickname and so will everyone else you know, you will never mention where you live, etc.

Answer 2

If you over 16 I would call a social worker and ask them what your rights are. If talking to your parents hasnt worked then maybe you need a professional third party to interfere on your behalf. They have to realize that all people deserve the right to interact with peers their own age to develop social skills. Public school is not the only option if they fear you will be badly influenced by real people, there are private schools that may be acceptable to them. Keep the lines of communication open with your parents, show your maturity by always revisiting your concerns about home schooling being not for you, they may come around

Answer 3

They're your parents. If you weren't upset about homeschooling and no blog page, you'd be upset about something else. Why? Because you're beginning to develop your own mind. Is this a bad thing? No, it's normal and healthy. However, it doesn't mean you know what's best for you. I work with teens. You wouldn't believe how many have little or no supervision. So many tell me how they wish their parents cared enough to set limits and stick by them. You're lucky. You have parents that act like real parents.

Answer 4

Your parents seem to be extremely protective of you. You say they are so out of it and you fel mad too. Maybe you should take a few deep breaths, calm yourself down, show your parents you can do what they expect you to do, act more grown up for a few days, don't get mad at anything/everything they say then, few days later, while they're delighted with you, broach the subject calmly. Explain you miss out on socialising with people your own age, tell them you love them, will always love them but you feel isolated without friends your age to talk to. Tell them what you are thinking of writing on your page, but insist you will not do so, not unless they approve of it. Stay calm and do not lose your temper! It would help if you had someone you could talk to, maybe an aunt? neighbour? Who could hear you out then be there when you do talk to your parents, that is if she doesn't tell them she's noticed you were not your usual perky self.

It'll take time and patience for your parents to agree but they will only do so once they know for sure they can trust you!

Answer 5

Who hasn't been mad at their parents. You have not said how old you are, but that doesn't matter.
You are in their house and they will have LOTS of rule you do not like.
Work with them, show them your maturing, and ask adult like questions (IE. what can I do to show you that I can ....... )
As you get older, they will let you do more if you show them you can be trusted to do it.

I am a father of a 12 yo daughter, and If i could, I would home school too, the schools are so bad now Anymore (we had a principle killed and 2 wounded by a student last year at our HS)

Trust your parents, even if you hate them..

Answer 6

It is tough being a homeschooled child . Did you ever ask why you can not go to a public school. I do not think it is right for parents to home school their children for something that happened to them in public school.

Answer 7

That really sucks.I guess everyone gets mad at there parents but, really when you get older you will understand that there only doing what they think is right. Talk to your parents though and be opened to them. A kid needs to be a kid every now and then. Hope things work out for u.

Answer 8

well i have been there i get mad at my parents all the time heck my son gets mad at me so much it is not funny it is all a part of life you will get over it and you will learn from this and you will becomes stronger from this and someday when you are a parent when your kids get mad you you can think back and say i remember being mad at my mom or dad so do not let it bother you it is a part of growing up

Answer 9

the goal of parents is to teach strong values and reinforce positive behaviors in the hope that their children will use them in their own lives. But there are no guarantees. One of the most important things you, as parents, can do, is to insure that you have a strong marriage and are setting a good example for your children.

Answer 10

Did you ever ask them why they do things they do and say. Like why can't I go to public school etc. I would probably ask them why they are making these decisions. I am sure that they have good sound reason for them it is that you don't know why and don't understand it. It may help you to understand once you ask them why.
