    I don't know what that all means. You'll have to be more specific -- what different places and you can't communicate with whom?

    So, because you are homeschooled, you are at home 24/7.

    You NEVER go to any friend's house.

    What you can do is please ask your mother to come to the computer and give her side of the story.

    No hanging with friends at all? At 14? That's wicked rough.

    Dude I don't know what to tell you. Have a talk to with your parents and demand that they allow you to have a social life. You can try this on them: Social activities are, in my opinion, more important than academics. Not every kid is going to understand and enjoy math, literature, history and the usual list, but everyone should know how to make friends.

    I can wait. When she's nearby and available, I will be glad to hear from her why she keeps you away from any social life.

    My brother can drive so I am at a computer at a College we don't have internet at home. I reason she keeps me from social life is because she thinks the Bible tell her that that is what she needs to do! Which is not true!!
