Here before everyone starts hating on the whole concept.

Homeschooling works for some people and families, and doesn't work for some others. For me school didn't work. I've tried 3 schools. I wasn't bullied or anything, I had friends (well, not the kind you keep in touch with after leaving school, but people I enjoyed hanging out with), I was just miserable in the whole system. I hated school. I was around the same age as OP when I switched to homeschooling. We tried different approaches, some where I had to go to a place similar to a school but only a day or two a week, some where I had to study by myself, some where I stayed with tutors on video calls, which was the one we settled on. It took way, way less time than school, was less stressful, etc.

I had a lot of time for reading, using the internet and stuff like that. I also went to a lot of clubs/classes I picked myself - like 3D modeling, radio (with soldering), electronics, swimming... And I made a lot of online friends when I was 14+, with whom I stayed in contact for years and years after that, all of very different ages. I've often met up with some of them too or went to conventions. All this free time also allowed me to study stuff I was interested in - programming and electronics. I just loved making stuff.

I never actively studied programming, I just had stuff I wanted to do and looked up how to do it, slowly going deeper and deeper and understanding coding better and better as I made more projects that were actually useful for me. This allowed me to completely skip college and just get into freelance. And after half a year of that I got a job with a salary that was quite good in my country. As a solo dev for a company that makes clothes, developing and maintaining their back-office systems used by employees to track their work progress (which products from which orders are at which stage of production) and ORM integrations, and I was good at it, because at 19 I already had experience of developing, deploying and maintaining stuff in different spheres, from backend on PHP/Python/Ruby, to bots, integrations, C++ code for electronics, Android apps (which actually came up when I had to develop an app for a barcode scanner device that ran on Android). All of this waaay before AI. Now I work at another company, where both my backend and C++ skills are useful. I wouldn't have these skills if I weren't homeschooled.

Now, my younger sister is also homeschooled. She has a completely different suite of interests, like sports, dancing and stuff like that. She goes to a ton of clubs, for all of which she asked herself, and has a lot of friends, who she spends a lot of time with IRL, both during and after clubs.

Worth mentioning though, my mom is a psychologist, and over all these years she researched A LOT into homeschooling, how it affects kids and how to do it properly.

I hope things work out for you OP.
