my parents won’t let me hangout with any of my friends and always finds any type of excuse to bring up to avoid me from going my friend only lives 5 minutes away. when your homeschooled your very isolated aswell and can’t really socialize but being homeschooled helps me in many ways that’s just the downside. she’s also in cheer and is gonna be busy with that she didn’t let us hangout at all hardly this summer i just feel very isolated and trapped i genuinely don’t know what to do. i struggle with horrible depression and anxiety and got sent to a mental hospital this summer aswell. i feel like it’s building on my depression not being able to hangout with anyone i tried talking to her about it and she just don’t listein.
parents wont let me hangout with friends at all. im homeschooled and start monday which makes this more difficult.

Cutting you off from friends while homeschooled is like locking a bird in a cage and wondering why it won’t sing. Social connection is fuel for your mind, your growth, and your happiness.
Have your parents ever met your friend(s)? Maybe start small and see if one of your friends can come over for dinner and meet your parents. Or maybe have your parents talk to your friend’s mom or dad and see about going to a movie or something fun like that. Start with smaller steps to help everyone get familiar and go from there. Just an idea.
