As someone who was extremely moved by D9D#100 I think it's awesome that it's getting notoriety even among people who aren't avid gamers. That being said, I think your mom is crazy bro. This quote in particular bothers me: "He learned by gaming, watching television, and figuring things out on his own. My job was to trust his true Self to do the job–to lead him to whatever he needed or would need in life." This in reference to you (OP), how does this sort of approach fare in developing you for integration into society? it wasn't ALL from television and gaming, but I did learn a lot from those things. I learned economics from playing World of Warcraft (auctionhouse 101) spelling / vocab / grammar from typing during games, any time I didn't know a word I would look it up because I didn't want to sound dumb. science/history have there respective channels on TV. I still did some work with math books, read some literature etc. but it was rare, and I was still able to graduate highschool 2 years early. The thing that being unschooled has taught me more then anything, is that I can learn something if I WANT to, extremely easily. When I wanted my GED I had no problem studying and getting it. To answer your main question though, I have basic knowledge in all subjects that are applicable to society, the rest is all about finding what I love to do (which for the time being is cooking) and figuring out the best source of knowledge available to me. I'm applying for a culinary apprenticeship in April, wish me luck! :D | ||

I know almost all my friends from school or activities someone from school introduced me to. I am actually curious here, did you attend some sort of club meetings or anything like that? EDIT: I don't think I posted before in this thread, Your mom and yourself is made of awesome. | ||

I met other kids through work, sports, camps, clubs, etc. I'm not going to lie and say I had 9001 friends but I had a few close friends which was all I needed. I now live in SoCal right next to a college campus and hang out there almost every day with my friends. Friends have a way of finding you, if you just let it happen. | ||
