Oh, so are you Catholic, Robyn? Yup, I've been homeschooled my whole life. I started doing Seton in 6th grade, and now I've nearly completed 7th. My mom does homeschool me, but I do almost all of my work by myself. She just oversees that we do everything. The two of my younger siblings do almost all of their work with my mom. So kids number 1, 2, and 3 in my family (that's including me) are enrolled in Seton and do most of their school by themselves. Then kids number 4 and 5 do their school with mom, and numbers 6 and 7 are too young for school.

@ poetonearth13: Homeschooling can get a little lonely and boring. since you're stuck in the house most of the time. I don't do any homeschool co-op with other kids my age, so I don't have that many friends (besides everyone on Chatterbox). I do have a couple really cool pen-pals including the one and only Kimberly. It's actually nice being around my parents. But there are lots of bonuses being homeschooled. For example, I've have no school today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's (what would be) a schoolday!We're going on vacation and our cousins are coming!! So I'll be gone for a week from here cause there's no internet where I'm going. And, as I already said, I get to travel during the school year, do my subjects in whatever order I want, and take a break when I want to (I still have to get all my school done). Ok, alot of non-homeschoolers seem to think that homeschoolers get to sleep in. WE DO NOT! (at least, I don't) I have to get up at like 6:30 (ugh) and I try to start school by 7:30, though it normally is 7:50. Then, I finish around 1:30-2:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, when we go to noon Mass. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I finish more around lunch.

Well, I need to go!!!! Farewell, my friends!

Sounds like a severe case of Anti-Sueism...

Yes, one thing you can say about Erin Hunter is she dislikes Mary Sues. Hollyleaf, one of the only true mary sues in the series, gets killed off, and Firestar, who also was a mary sue (gary stu?) has been killed off 5 times now. (And he's back for more!)

Firestar had 9 lives, but he's died so much that he's down to 4. Pretty stupid, really.

Extremely suspicious, but don't worry. The FBI are searching Erin Hunter's house as we speak!

Oh Lena, you never fail to make me crack up. :)

@ Mary Jo: You get to go to Mass every Friday? *pouts* You have six siblings? *pouts more* We can only go to Sunday Mass because of school and stuff like that, and I only have four siblings (only!! Never thought I'd say that! ;) ). :( God bless your mother. :) And enjoy your vacation! :)

Oh my goodness, all these parentheses are just brutal... (ellipse!)

Yes, Mary Jo, I know what you mean about not having many friends outside of Chaterbox... *does ellipse to make self feel better*
