I am just rambling, but soon my advice will come to me. Sometimes you need to just empty your feelings. Just say what you are thinking. This is happening to me right now. I just went to my grandma's yesterday because my mom works. I really appreciate all of Mom's students giving me new ideas and support. I love it when people comment. I would like to start a band with all of my friends, but none of them seem to play instruments. Music is an important part of our life. It gives you ideas and really gets you thinking. It would be nice if everyone in the world could play an instrument. I just learned a new song last week. Every Wednesday I go to guitar lessons at 2:15. I also have Tae Kwon Do before guitar, and horse-back riding after guitar. What a busy life I lead!
A downfall of homeschooling, is that it can sometimes be hard stay in contact of your old friends from school. For instance, I have two REALLY good friends. One is home-schooled, the other is in public school. I can see the home-schooled friend whenever I want. He is coming over tomorrow to sleep overnight. My friend who attends public school, on the other hand, can only come over on the weekends. My friends that are just acquaintances, can never see me anymore. That is one thing that I don't like about homeschooling. If I really wanted to keep in touch with my old friends, I could call them or send them emails. But I've found that I really only need two or three best friends. That is all humans need. If you have a 20 regular friends, you can't really tell them your feelings or feel close to them. A way to fix this, is to, similar to me, get a few best friends. This makes life easier, and it saves you from typing 200 emails a day like my mom.

if you want to start a band do it! just because your friends don't play instruments doesn't mean you can't do it. You can always meet new people. I think it's good to be social and know a lot of people. you don't have to be best friends with them, but it could provide good times if it is something you really enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI was just talking to my kids about this friends thing yesterday....about how I only usually have 2-3 close friends and the rest are just friendly associations, and that's okay. I encouraged them to be okay with it too. I feel it's better to have a few really good friends you can talk with about important (or silly) things than to have tons of 'friends' that you really don't know a lot about and can't express your feelings honestly to. So, I think you've come to a great conclusion at your age and it will serve you well in life. :)
