Hi! my name is Heidi and i'm 16yrs old. This is my first year of homeschooling and i do it online so i practically teach myself. I'm so lonely I have 1 friend now that I see about once a wk. all my other friends from public school don't speak to me no more because there is noway in seeing them. My mom, dad, and brother all leave at 12:30 in the afternoon and don't come home until 11 at night i'm home alone all day long being bored i work on my school work from 9am-12pm and I have the rest of the day to do whatever! i love being homeschooled I have a lot of free time but the thing is there is nothing to do in this small town that i live in there is no teen groups or nothing all kids my age just go find something to get into and cause trouble which most nights like tonight I sometimes feel like going out and egging someones house or something that gets attention and keeps me out of boredem. So plz if you have any suggestions that i might be able to do during my free time let me know

You could get a part time job, or volunteer somewhere. It would keep you busy, and you'd be making some money or helping people!
Good luck!
Wow, the answerer above me said the same thing, and must have said it 2 seconds before I did! Hmmm I should come up with another idea for you then! See if your community center or local community college has any classes you could take? They could be on crafts or something like that. Also, you could take a class that would give you actual college credit, if they would allow you to do so. Something like psychology or foreign language might be good.

Maybe see about participating in clubs or whatever might be available at the school. Also try to find *any* homeschoolers there may be there.
I also think the suggestions made of getting a part-time job are good! Finding online people to chat with can also be a good way to socialize with others.
How come there's no time to see your friends? Aren't they able to talk with you on the phone after school? Are you able to go to their place?

Well you have a choice you could go back to public school if you want a life or utilize the internet to start meeting other homeschooled kids your age, but you wanted to be homeschooled so I don't see why you're complaining about being lonely.

I would see if you can get a part time job or maybe you can volunteer at your local highschool? Even if you don't volunteer there, tons of places would love to have a sweet young lady help out!! You'll meet new people to boot! You might be able to get into a sports program in the afternoon. You can meet people at the library also. Good luck!!

Maybe you should talk to your parents about going back to public school. It isn't healthy to spend all of your time alone.

You like money don't you. Get a part time job.

If you're 18 borrow a car and drive to see your old friends after school. If you don't have your license yet, use your free time learning to drive!

get a job, study more, get some hobbies, hang out with your old friends after they get out of school.
