text: Get to programs at your local library, museums, parks and rec dept...your local Y probably also has homeschooling classes\n\nYou could google and find local homeschooling support groups\n\nThere are yahoo groups specifically for homeschooling teens\n\nIf you want to do something useful with your time, volunteer at hospitals, group homes, groups for people with disabilities, nursing homes, library, etc.\n\nFind your interests and explore there....if you like something, for example, hang out at that store, ask questions, take classes, go to trade shows, you can do that with nearly every interest possible.\nFriends can be any age, so maybe thinking outside of the box would help as well, you could volunteer at local schools to tutor young children, or be a big brother at the cancer clinic in your city.\n\nThe possibilities are endless, just live your life, and you'll make friends!
