Answer:
You don't need to give up on homeschooling, but you should talk to your mom about an extra curricular activity. There is a lot you can do to make friends outside. I want to homeschool my kids too, not just for protecting but educational purposes.However, social skills are IMPORTANT and a necessity for surviving in the real world. Perhaps you should remind your mother that if she truly wants to protect you, it would be a benefit for you to know how to apply yourself outside of the house and communication with the outside world is good for your health. But I understand her point about public schooling. I would look into something you want to learn to do. Martial arts, swimming lessons, ballet, dancing lessons, piano, guitar, music, sports, etc.

In addition to everyone else's answers: Maybe your mother would be willing to compromise. Online schooling is an option if your mother will not allow you to go to regular public school- I say this because in online school you have teachers who know what they are doing. You are still home with your mom and she can help you but you will have more freedom and the teachers will be able to help you with the things your mom can't. Also, with online schooling, there are generally lots of groups already organized and readily available for you to join- there are dances, field trips, sports, and even just for fun stuff like bowling with other kids scheduled on a regular basis. This way you could have regular social interactions with people your age which is obviously important for your development and it sounds like you are really craving it. If she won't agree on this ask her if you could at least look into some extra-curricular's. I hope your mother realizes you are getting older now and lets you have more freedom soon. Good luck convincing her.

Talk to you're mom about Scholarships and school teams, tell her that your becoming depressed and if you can exaggerate, it kind of helps. If she still doesn't listen to that or if she's just against sending you to public school because kids are mean, cruel a lot of the time even, suggest a charter school. It's home-school with an actual teacher, lessons, explanation, and yes SOCIAL activities. It's the best thing to a compromise you can do I'm pretty sure. Explain that to her and if she still won't budge then try to go out more, local skating rink, mall, ect.

Tell her one or more of these: 1. You're going to move out and get a job eventually, you'll be more likely to get into a good collage if you start at a good school 2. How would she have liked being a home all day with her mom all day at your age 3. You're becoming dangerously anti social 4. You don't have the enrichment opportunities like your competition for jobs and collage will 5. You also probably have no idea what you want to do or be later in life 6. You haven't been growing up with the opportunity to meet others and know and understand different points of view from other people besides your parents. I bet you have little idea as to what is going on in the east, and you get smarter by staying informed.
