Listen. The latest rage at jr. high schools/high schools here is to spray Axe on your arms and light it on fire. Maybe your mom has good reason to keep you out of the schools if they're anything like ours!
If you need friends, hunt down a homeschool support group--either a website or a Yahoo group. Or both. Try to get involved in activities outside the home, be they homeschooling activities or other things, like lessons, clubs, volunteering. There are lots of ways to make friends without being in school.

Print out this answer and keep it somewhere safe.
You sound very young, and I imagine your feelings are very hurt by your situation. I don't know all the details of what you and your mom are going through together, so the best advice I can give you is...
1. remember that school is not the only place to make friends
2. even if it is hard and miserable for you to be home-schooled, it won't last forever. Try to make the best of it.
Some day you will be old enough to make your own decisions about your education. If you reach that age and feel that you did not get a good education at home, you can take whatever classes you might need to help you "catch up" at a community college or online.
Other people have had a harder time than you, but have done great things with their lives. George Washington taught himself most of the things that made him a great person when he grew up...he only went to a regular school for a little while.
I think you are very smart and have a great future. Just remember that and be patient. Everything will be fine in the end.

Hey homeshooling is better because you have the comfort of your own home! And you don't have to get beat up by those bullys at school either! I would say just find some homeschool group and you can have lots of fun! There is speech compitiion and P.E. and science, if you find a homeschool group that you can join, you can find friends that you can even do your school with! And if you go on vacations, all you have to do is pack all your school up and go! (plus I think that the food is better at home = )

Here's what to do:
Realize that home-school is a very REAL education. Stop asking you mom to let you go to a group school -- make HER happy by being willing to work with her. Do your lessons everyday and get some hobbies. Make things for people. Bake cookies and do some crafts. Find out how happy it will make you to know that you are making your mom happy.
Ask her to teach you how to make friends with other home-schoolers --- maybe she will make her friends when she meets their parents. You can have more friends and even closer friends if you get together with other people that are doing home-school too.
Your mom is trying to do what she thinks and KNOWS is right and is the best for you. YOU can help her by building a good attitude and developing a great relationship with her.
Don't ever think that "school" is the only place to have friends. It isn't. People are everywhere!

I'm sorry to hear that. Tell her that if she home~schools you, you won't experience what a normal kid at school would experience (bullies, troubles with your friends, going to your first prom and much more). Making friends is like the second most important thing in school.
You won't build enough self~esteem and once you go into the real world, you won't know how to talk to people and communicate with them. School is a place to prepare you for the future. You have to learn to be put down at school sometimes and you learn from your mistakes.
Tell her that and she might consider it.

Last Saturday, we hosted a homeschool teen bonfire/marshmallow roast. About 20 kids came, they hung out and played games and such for 4 hours. You can have friends while homeschooling, as long as your mom isn't a religious freak and allows you to talk to other people.
Join homeschooling groups in your area and you will have more friends and social opportunities than you can handle.

hey! i was homeschooled too. it was a lot easier for me though, sorry to say. all of my sisters b4 me went to public school in 7th grade so that's what i did! do you have any homeschool friends? my mom just told me that she tried to get me to hang out with more public school people to get me ready for it, but then they were the wrong type of people so i got hurt. so when you do make friends and go to public school, make sure you choose the right ones. good luck and just tell your mom that you really want to go to public school, probably the reason she's not letting you go is because you are special to her and she enjoys having you at home! bye and good luck again!

Well, you should really sit down and talk with your mom and let her know how you feel and how it affects you that you don't have friends. But there are many ways to make friends without going to public school; soccer,softball,choir,acting classes,dance etc.

I am sorry to hear that. Does she not want you to have friends? maybe you should explain many CONVINCING reasons why you should go to one, and also tell her that it would make you happy, parents totally get sad. If it does not work, you can meet friends through homeschooling, my friend does it, and i go to a public school, just get out there in clubs and stuff, and you'll meet friends.
