We all know that Zeke could not have pulled off being 9 y/o in a kindergarten class. Could he have been home schooled and then joined public school when in 9th grade? I remember seeing freshman that looked old af. Could be possible and a lot easier to pull off.
Maybe zeke’s “mom” was someone paid by monet to raise him and home school him for a bit?
People who are home schooled, what was/is the way to make friends?
Potential trigger warning (abuse and suicidal thoughts).
I want to put a little bit of my experience out there so that anyone currently struggling with anything similar can know that you're not alone, and things can get so much better. I'm going to focus more on the interpersonal side of the religion and how it related to my family, rather than the way doctrines were specifically used because I think most everyone on this subreddit already knows the insane doctrines that are used to manipulate people.
I was born into the SDA church. My mom was too, and my father was a convert in high school. He always talked about how he was trying to find the truth, and the SDA church certainly talked about how they had it; and no one else did. They met in an SDA college. My mom wanted to teach; my dad wanted to be a pastor. They went on mission trips to a country in their second year of marriage (during college), and it was apparently hell. My mother was jealous of my father's time, and a pastor apparently gave my dad counseling and told my dad he married the wrong woman for him to be in the ministry. There marriage was nothing but resentment from then on.
After about a decade, I came along. After years of therapy, I've come to understand that for whatever reason, my mother didn't want me. It was either the resentment of my father, or maybe, and this part is just a theory, a 100% repressed lesbian and resentment of the traditional family structure. Whatever the reason, I was simultaneously her little angel and perfect little helper to anyone outside our house, and the cause of her wanting to kill herself and why she never felt loved in our house.
I believe my mother was clinically narcissistic. Everything was someone else's fault, or if it was her fault it was really yours. She would, as I mentioned before, threaten suicide to get her way. Basically getting someone to help her clean, or do some random task for her. She would flip from nice to an absolute demon as quick as you can blink. I was never good enough for her, and she would constantly belittle my interests, or say they were ungodly. She would accuse me of not loving her, even though I did and would tell her as much and plead with her not to kill herself. It warped my sense of self so much that I was sure I was bad, and that no one would ever want to love me.
My father gave up on the ministry, and the church, when I was fairly young. But he stayed with my mom, even after he said he'd leave her and planned to
... keep reading on reddit ➡The thing is I'm really REALLY anti social/have social anxiety, it's the reason I was picked out of school to begin with, I couldn't go a day without throwing up. Well I got pulled in 2ed grade to be home schooled and honestly it's probably made me much worse.
I'm thinking about going back next year once I get caught up with my current school situation and honestly it's making me sick even thinking about it. My dad thinks it'd be nice for me since I appreciate learning a lot and love things like biology, science, chemistry and all that, so he thinks it'd be a good chance to finally get back out there and learn more.
I was okay with this at first, but the thing is I honestly don't understand how the school teaches you, they make it much harder than it actually is and one of the reasons I failed so poorly on elementary, they didn't teach us any shortcuts, my dad is the same way and said he'd help me with it but then I just don't see the point in me going at all. I honestly do wanna go, but it makes me nervous and thinking about the unnecessary stress that will consume me is honestly tiring.
I wanted to come here to see if high school is really all that bad, I get it really depends on the place but I still wants some celerity.
How do I not stand out? What can help me focus more? What can I do to avoid as much trouble as possible? How do I high school basically...
I was pulled out of public school because I have issues learning the way the school teaches. The teachers were very rude to me and I started to gain anxiety and they wouldn't understand my situation. I couldn't move schools since I lived in a small town with 1 school available.
Being home schooled has backfired though. I suffer from huge social anxiety and have no social skill. And back then I had a bad home environment so i didn't have an excape or any friends to talk to. I wish I would have stayed in school but I think i would have been severally messed up mentally from it since I couldn't learn how others did and I got bullied for it by the teachers and the other kids.
Hello, as title says, she's been living with a narcissist and I'm really, really worried for her. She has no life skills that I know of and no social interaction with anyone, and thinks she needs therapy. Her mother monitors her IRL and has parental controls on her phone, and is planning to keep her until she turns 25. She has no contact with doctors, therapists, or the church. I'm posting this for her because she's monitored online too. She has contact with her biological father and he has relatives but he sends anything my acquaintance says directly to her narcissistic mother.
She lives in Nevada. I'm really worried for her, what can she do in her situation? She's planning on moving when she's 18 but she doesn't have enough money for that right now.
I used to go to public school but anxiety was to bad so I went to homeschooling the only thing is I was planning on asking a guy out but now that’s out of the equation idk what to do to get a boyfriend (I’m a masculine guy who wants a feminine guy btw)
Good evening,
STEM and other related activities like coding and robotics are recommended for developing critical thinking, problem solving and collaborative skills in students. How do those who are home schooled gain access to STEM, coding, and robotics resources? Are you using local resources like libraries and Universities who offer workshops and summer camps? Or are there other options?
Thank you,
Rick
What’s everyone doing with their kids education while you’re away?
