> I've got a friend who was home schooled up until her senior years. Honestly, she's probably not the biggest social butterfly in the world, but neither am I. Hey, you know what? In some ways she's more outgoing than I am, and I've been in the public school system my whole life. So I don't think that home schooling necessarily stunts your social growth. I think it's a personality thing. People who are shy are more comfortable with being home schooled, so they tend to be home schooled more often than others. People switch around the cause-and-effect. It's just a theory, though.

I've never been home-schooled. But I have awful social skills outside of online life. I never made any lasting friends in public school, probably because I always spent recess and lunch reading (even in first grade), and I always had my siblings to play with at home. So it really does depend on the person and other factors.
