I always loved the one of the girl SCREAMING for the win...

These kids in these competitions are usually a little wierd, and home schooling makes them even a little wierder. They have almost no social skills.

And homeschool doesn't equal no social skill, parents completely sheltering the kid from the rest of the planet makes them have no social skills.

I wonder how many of you folks on here realize that I was homeschooled?

A lot of homeschooled kids are fucked up socially, granted, but a lot more have extremely well-developed social skills.

I knew several homeschooled kids, and vouch for part 1. Some get more social, but not in the homeschooled setting.

would you consider yourself to be extremely well developed in social skills or do you consider yourself a little weird

Both? I dunno... I've never been great with my immediate peer group, but that's an issue I've had since before I was homeschooled. And that's not due to not knowing how to act around my peers so much a matter of me having different interests. For instance, I have absolutely no interest in getting drunk off my ass, so that makes things a little awkward at the social events that the typical college-age person attends. *shrugs*

I've always seemed to get along better with people older than myself. And little kids, but that's more of a "big sister" mentality.

In short, I think my social skills are pretty well developed. I'm no expert social butterfly or anything, but I can interact just fine with most people and I don't think I usually come off as being weird. I am a *little* weird, but again I think that's just due to me being me rather than being a side effect of homeschooling.

A lot of homeschooling kids, though, are pretty fucked up. Some homeschooling parents shelter their kiddos to death or only give them interaction with other homeschoolers. Me, I had tons of extracurricular activities that were completely separate from the homeschooling groups in town (piano lessons, girl scouts, dance lessons, etc.)and my mom took me along to various workshops and conferences she went to, like Adopt-a-Wetland programs and the annual Science & Technology symposium held at A&M, so I got a lot of social exposure.

That's because I like to cultivate an air of perversion that is far out of proportion to how perverted I actually am, mostly because it's fun to squick people out. wink.gif

That and I think hentai is terribly amusing.
