Oooh, homeschooled! Good for you! I have to get up every day at 6:45 AM. ;_; I'd really like the idea being homeschooled.
Though I don't need a job yet.
Nowadays, I prefer as well the community of my friends, rather than my family. My friends' opinion is much more important, and I love to be with them as much as possible, so I neglect a bit my family...
However, I'm a very social creature, I think. My brother moved out two years before, and since that I'm often alone, because my parents work a lot. And I miss those times, when my brother lived with us. But that's life, I believe, one day I'll leave this house and my parents too.
