text: Attending classes online in the comfort of one's home may also prevent friendships that could have been made at school. One of the best things about going to an actual school is the people. The friendships that a person could make in high school could last a lifetime. Staying at home and taking online classes would only prevent the opportunity to meet all these new people that could be someone's best friends; why miss out on an opportunity like that? Sure, some people could make friends from other activities or sports that they do, but the friendships made in school are so special. The friends that someone could make through school are those who would go through the same struggles, emotions, and problems together. Classes from home might make someone feel lonely or bored because there would not be any interacting with people face-to-face. Talking online and in person are two totally different things.
