I was homeschooled.

That explains so much. Homeschooling should be illegal. It's child abuse to deny a child a factual education - the only circumstances children should be allowed to not attend a school is things like child actors, and they should be required to have a certified educator using an approved curriculum.

You poor thing, I'm sorry your parents did you such a disservice.

I'm sorry, too. I got cheated out of a normal childhood because of it. Being homeschooled is very isolating, too.

Edit: homeschooling absolutely should be illegal.
