  • I homeschool my kids and each kid is different. My son is awkward AF because he is autistic and has ADHD so yeah he will be one of those weird homeschoolers later in life and it will be in part because he didn’t get to socialize in school but because of his autism and ADHD it’s forced us to bring him into home school to keep him regulated and on task which wasn’t happening in public school.

    My daughter who is now an adult didn’t enter homeschool until her sophomore year of high school. It was because HS was a mental issue for her and she just couldn’t do it with the pressures and social anxiety that came with being in HS.

    She is also socially awkward but not as much as my son.

    All of this to say that yes you’re right. HS kids are more often than not socially awkward but it’s not because they were homeschooled per se.

    In some cases like mine they were already socially awkward or uncomfortable which in turn lead to the homeschooling because they couldn’t cut it in public school.
