Mannnn how can you be happy being homeschoold 
In my opinion I would of hate getting homeschoold (or even now considering i’m at college), you missing out on all the laughs and fun and being with mates! 
Im a senior and graduraring in a about 2 weeks and a half. I think freshman is thr hradest cause your new to high schhol anf not used to it custems. Sophomore is the easest. Junior is a little harder wilh college and seinor things. Senior is Is hard and easy. You got alot of work and you have alot to worry about but’s it’s all woth it at the end.
I do miss out on a lot of stuff. The only times I get to be around other people is at church and if the homeschool group is doing something.(I don’t like the homeschool group,by the way, the people make me feel uncomfortable. I don’t know why.) So yeah, I don’t get to socialize much. I want to be around other people, but I don’t know how to act around them, plus I don’t know what they’ll do.
And my mom wants me to do math most the summer. 
She knows I hate math! Why did she get me a new book in the middle of the schoolyear anyways? 
I was home schooled through 4th grade, and skipped fifth. Middle school was just…no.
I can vouch for St_Jons. University life is when you gain ‘access’ to most of the perks and privileges of adulthood; like consuming alcohol, driving, smoking, watching dirty movies, etc. It is also unfortunately the time that less responsible people ‘abuse’ these privileges and go overboard in an attempt to prove they’ve grown up, without thinking of the consequences. Living on your own in college is all about self-control and discipline. There’s no ‘safety net’, your parents won’t be around to bail your butt if you get in trouble, teachers aren’t going to chase you if you’re not catching up in class, and if you’re unlucky, you may have inconsiderate gits as your housemates when you return home.
I was unfortunate to have a jerk of a housemate when I was staying at an underage hostel. Hong Kong guy, brought his mates over to play Mahjong every night without care for his neighbours, and sometimes his girlfriend, who would illegally squat in his room. Nobody’s going to talk to the principal about troublemakers, nobody’s going to do your laundry for you, nobody’s going to defend you if you get into trouble. You’re on your own. I had to put up with it.
But once I left that terrible place (after I turned 18 ) and lived in our family apartment, things got much better. If possible, try to get friendly housemates, or live on your own. You get a personal sense of freedom, of doing things on your own, and it’s very satisfying. It is also the time in which you don’t have to worry about the bills, and when you get your first taste of earning your own money if you work part-time. I am proud to say I’m enjoying my current status, and most people would agree: “College/University are the best days of your life.”
Again, I seem to have digressed. Maybe a separate thread can be written for College/University life?
You’ve both got a good point, St_Jons and thedriveintheatre. One of the things I’m most looking forward to about university is the independence, living away from home and doing things myself, but obviously there’s the flipside that people will take advantage of that responsibility.
I’d still much rather live in a flat of eight (as I will be) than by myself, though. I admit that as much as I am eager to mature at university, I still want to go out to the pub for a few drinks, or even to the SU for a long night out. Getting drunk and having a messy kitchen just seems to be part and parcel of the university experience, and as someone who’s lived in a very, VERY small town for most of my life, I do rather look forward to that. 
But yes, maybe a separate thread on college and university experiences would be a good idea…
I think I’ve been lucky in HS, as while I am not popular, I do have a great set of close friends, and that’s probably fended off any bullying that’s tried to come my way. I’m relieved because despite the fact that my town is very full of rich snobby people, I’ve found some fellow nerds and the "popular"people haven’t bothered me.
As for which year is the hardest, I can now say for sure that it’s the first semester senior year during college apps, at least for me. Junior year was bad, but the standardized testing doesn’t end then unless you’re really lucky, and getting good grades is still really important senior year. Also, college apps are just gross, which is why the first semester senior year is so bad.
