I get annoyed when people put down homeschoolers. I homeschool ok. Yes, people have been rude to me because I homeschool. I think it is just plain RUDE. Oh well. I don't care. I try not to let it bother me.

I honestly dont know why people have to pick on others and say "It's because you have no friends."

In middle school and high school I was friends with a lot of kids that were homeschooled and remember having to stick up for them on some occasions.

I think it's because they think we are weird for homeschooling. Why would it bother them in the first place?

The only obvious reason.

They don't like to leave home and envy.

^^ That's pretty funny. Must be the reason.

I had a friend who left her driver's ed class b/c when everyone was asked what school they went to and she said that she homeschooled everyone said "eewww" and they never left her alone. Sometimes I get teased for homeschooling too but I just try to avoid situations like that . It's like, seriously, leave me alone!

I think it's because they think we are weird for homeschooling. Why would it bother them in the first place?

It doesn't bother me at all, endless they start thinking their the best for being homeschooled(meet a family like that once). They use to go to my school, one of them joined my netball team and wouldn't shut up about being homeschooled.

I went to a public school but my best friends were homeschooled. I think the typical sterotype for a homeschooler is that they are socially awkward. While this is true in many cases due to the kid not getting out much, it's definitely not true in all cases. Most homeschooled kids I know are awesome.

^I have a similar situation Ilovefauns.
I don't mind homeschooling at all, in fact I think its wonderful, but I hate it when people put down public schools- they often get labeled as ineffective, dangerous, and nasty. I go to one and I have to say that is a very bad stereotype. I'd say all the different types of education have their up and down sides, ones no better than the other it depends more on the families situation as too which type is better for their children.

A wee mod note:

Interesting thoughts, all, but if you'd like to discuss in more depth the subject of homeschooling, please see this topic.

And now to get back to things that annoy us ...

Other things that annoy me

1. endless days of rain(that doens't happen much here but it did when i lived in tasmania).
2. Being out voted

^^ endless days of rain.....I'm with you on that one!
I hate rain.....but I hate snow more!

Oh wow. i love the snow. But I live in the south part of America and lately we've been getting on and off snow and I have been enjoying it a bit but that's because it goes away in a day because I've only gotten 3-6 inches.

But I am annoyed by rain sometimes. The only time when I am not annoyed by rain is when I want to go to sleep and rain does the trick for me.

Snow is annoying. I woke up this morning and there was snow...SNOW! The temperature suddenly dropped to 39 degrees when it's been in the late fifties all week. When I woke up, I thought I was dreaming so I went back to sleep. BUt then I woke up again and it was still there...very sad and annoying .

I find trying to watch TV and eating a bag of potato chips to be very annoying. Actually, I find trying to listen to anything while eating a bag of potato chips to be annoying.

^true. Or any loud snack. I was watching a video on youtube the other night while eating pretzels and it was like all I could here was chewing in my ears . I don't usually snack while watching TV anyway though- I'm not even a huge fan of popcorn.
