Last school year my parents home-schooled me, and it was okay. But because of my mean and rude personality I'm not so sure that we should do it this year. I really want to go back to my old school since there will only be one class, and I'll get to spend some time with my friends. The one thing that worries me is that I'm not exactly social, active, or any of the things needed for school (P.E., typing class, that sort of thing. Oh yeah, there is no art.). And I get really worried that I'm not going to be able to find my way around the school. Should I stay with being homeschooled and risk losing almost all of my friends, or go to school and be overflowed with homework, and not learn as much as I could?

BLONDShorty answered Sunday July 10 2011, 12:00 pm: ok it really depends. I went to private school and they weren't really big on sports and didn't do much in terms of the high school experience. If I had to do it all again, I would do homeschool because college is like amazing. I would not trade my college experience for anything. Way worth the wait. I had friends in other private schools and they had a little bit more experiences than I did. For instance, they had a cheerleading squad, pep rallies, and those kinds of things. I appreciated my private school education a lot because we didn't have to take examinations that public school system has to take, and I was well-prepared for college. But, my actual school just wasn't the match for me. It really just depends. If your school does offer those experiences, then I would say to give it a try. Because you will have great memories to look back on and you will have a social circle, which is important as part of personal growth. If it doesn't, and you cannot attend another school, then I would say to finish with homeschooling, if you can get it done quicker. As far as everything else, don't worry about not being able to find the buildings. That will come to you. I came from a school with maybe 2 buildings to one of the biggest campuses in the state. It's just a matter of time before you figure it out. And you can tell them in the main office that you are new in coming back to this and you need some help. You will also get a little bit of time away from your parents.
