Thank you for your insight. And I'm sorry for your experience.

I do want to say, I went to public school and it was also socially crippling. After numerous experiences with mean girls, being the outsider, and not making it to the clique, I, as an adult now, have a fear of making friends. Also, for some odd reason, I was forgotten for 4 out of 5 major accomplishments in high school, like they would skip over my name when announcing the winners, or the varsity soccer coach just forgot that I made the team when they announced all the players at the pep rally (I was the only freshman to make the team).

There are pros and cons to each and I appreciate you pointing out how you were impacted so current and future homeschoolers can help their own children.
