Prom-- feeling left out
Im 14 9th grade and im homeschooled. The local high school is having the prom. I feel really left out especially when prom comes around. My mom wants to homeschool me through high school, but I know I dont want to be. My question is can someone help me to make my mom feel more comfortable with going to school? Homeschooling is great but I just want a little experience at school. (And I want to go to prom!!) Help! Thanks

hey...i was homeschooled all year last year,which would have been my first 9th grade year. Well at the school i go to you cant go to prom unless your a junior or senior or unless you was invited by someone in those grades. Our HS is like from 7th grade to 12th too so we have middle school/ high school so yours maybe different. But if you know someone from that school like girls or guys why dont you see if one of them would take you and see how you like it. I did this last year it was the first year i was ever homeschooled and i was in your situation but my boyfriend was a junior so i got to go, but sit down and think about it and make sure you really want to go back to school,if you decide you do then sit your mom down and tell her how bad you want to go to school like the other teens. I noticed that high school is the best years of your life and you need to spend them with your friends. hope i helped!!

hey, well explain to your mom that you dont want to be homeschooled anymore. also taht you want some sort of experience in real school. also people from other schools can ask you to go to the prom. so just get friendly withpeople from other schools. cait♥

I'm 13 and homeschooled, and I'm in 10th grade. I can tell you that there is proms for homeschooled people, because my state (North Carolina) has about 20 homeschooled proms and they are so much better than the ones highschools have. So what you need to do is do a google or yahoo search on "homeschooling proms" and you should be able to find ne in your town.
And if by some chance you live in North Carolina then go to www.nche.com
hope i helped!

hey i'm sorry that you feel left out but at my school and the school in my area, you can't go to prom until junior or even senior year! some girls get invited by older guys but ususally freshmen don't go anyway. it sucks to not be able to go but maybe if you start meeting guys now, they'll invite you to prom next year. you don't have to go to the same school as the guy to go to their prom. if you really want to go to a regular school (i'm warning you, it's not as god as you may think) then tell her that you can make decisions and that going there won't change you...it will just open you up to the real world before reality hits you in college. <3

She should know that it's important for teenagers like us to be more social and interact with other kids our age (not to sound old). And if she DOES homeschool you all four years of high school, don't you think that you'd be a little "socially delayed" in life? you should bring that up to her. you can't be shielded from the real world forever, especially high school which is supposedly supposed to be "the best years of our lives." <3

Explain to her that you feel really left out and you want to be able to have the experience that many other teenagers have. If it doesnt work call one of your family members that you are close to. ( aunts, uncles, grandparents) and tell them your problem and maybe they could talk to your mom.

Just tell her that and see what she says.
Tell her you want to be more social with kids your age. I don't know why she wouldn't understand that. :)
