So, I reckon your parents didn't solve the "how does a homeschooled child get properly socialized" issue?
No, not fully, but I was pretty active in our church growing up. That has its own issues but I definitely hung out with outer kids my own age, older and younger kids, old people, and people with mental and physical disabilities multiple hours a day multiple days a week.
Yeah, I'd assume that's the main socialization for most homeschooled kids in the US, but that's like a whole other can of worms. Though I guess not every church is full of raging fundamentalists and/or rapists.
