Don't know where to post this so I'll post it here. As some of you already know I am a homeschooled 15 year old male. I live in the U.S. and in a regular public school system I would be entering my Sophomore year soon, that would be 10th grade. My family will be moving to another state soon and hopefully I have a chance to make friends and actually be happy instead of being depressed/sad/lonely all day. Yet I currently have an issue, my family hasn't decided if we should move during half of the 10th grade school year or move before 11th grade starts. Now here is my concern: When should I move? During the half of 10th grade or the beginning of 11th?
If I move in the middle of the 10th grade year I have no idea how it would be like to make friends. I don't know how susceptible everyone would be to let me be their friend and possibly let me in their group. I mean, the new guy, just barging in through the door, with zero social skills, trying to find friends, how would everyone react?
If I move during the beginning of 11th grade then that would mean I might have a higher chance of scoring friends or even a group. Yet that would mean another year of loneliness while everyone else is having fun. And I would have "wasted" 2 of the 3 summers doing nothing.
There are just so many ifs and pros and cons. I personally, am very terrified; I don't know how I would be able to withstand 2 years of loneliness. What do you guys think I should do? Move during the middle of Sophomore or move in the start of Junior year?
