After 12 years of homeschooling my loneliness has broken from abuse.
I'm just content most of the time now
sometimes a normal school won't help all that much... I know that, I've been there.
I don't quite see how that is an example of loneliness, most people go to school and you are surrounded my interesting human beings all the time. I've now reached a point where I have no clue how to communicate with other teenagers.
Even though there may be tons of kids at regular school it doesn't mean you can't be lonely. Sometimes it's very lonely. A lot of kids are either too caught up in whats going on in their own lives to worry much about yours, or the friendships you do have with most of them are at such a base level that you can't communicate serious things with them; I've noticed that with friends I've had for a long time a lot of times don't want to talk about serious things; like the relationship goes as far as the petty things and joking around. So I'd say there's just as much room for loneliness in regular school as there is homeschooling. The grass isn't always greener.
Have you ever been home educated?
No, I have not been homeschooled before. I'm not trying to prove which is lonelier out of the two, but that there's more than just meets the eye when it comes to normal schooling, and that it comes with it's own type of loneliness to some.
Believe me there is no competition, once I tried to make friends with the mail-man.
I don't get lonely nowadays

It really must suck that you have (had?) a hard time finding other teenagers to hang out with, didn't you have hobbies or kids a your neighborhood you could have been friends with?
Anyways when it comes to being lonely despite of being in a regular school, my experience was that school was one of the worst settings for making friends... Like others have stated, school environment is a place where being different will be noticed easily and sometimes it's hard making friends if no one agrees with you or has a similar life style. Not to forget things like bullying and such.
Try living in an environment where you can't make any friends because they're s no-one to make friends with, and if you do find someone, they treat you like yesterdays trash.
I know there are a lot of outright vicious people out there, but why would they treat you like trash before they even had a sense of who you were, or refuse even giving you the time of day?
I've asked myself that question many times. I guess teenagers are too busy for the likes of mere mortals.
Haha, honestly I don't fight you on that at all. I know a lot of kids who are like that.
