By changing that image and accepting quietness, we can make things easier for the quiet people, thus helping their self esteem and letting them be themselves. Homeschooling means that my family isn't just the people who live in the same house as me. I fight with my brothers or my dad sometimes, but I accept that and love them. We get to do lots of neat things together. Everything works out in the end.
People worry to much.
If you're a parent accept your child for who he or she is. Teach the child to be loving and caring through example and through books, music and tv shows that promote that. If you're a homeschooler accept yourself for who you are. Look for what makes you happy. Become who you wish you were.
