text: Some may say that online schooling causes teens to become antisocial, lonely, and depressed. This is not warranted because the effect is the opposite. Working from home allows students to take the time they need to get work done for the day in their own time, and then spend the remainder with friends or doing other activities. Students actually have more free time because they aren't as distracted. As long as they are participating in plenty of activities, and are getting out in the world to talk with others, teens will not become antisocial, lonely or depressed.
