Notes -
As someone that was homeschooled in a rural area, I'm comfortable saying that this part is easily resolved with a bit of assistance from parents in making sure there are opportunities to get together with other kids. For me, this often meant playing pickup basketball, which then led to other friendships off the court. For what it's worth, I am not aware of any meaningful deficiencies that resulted from being homeschooled - I always had good friends, started dating at a normal age, and had no trouble continuing to have close friends and romantic success. The only thing that I ever really felt bitter about was that the local school district wouldn't allow me to join the teams there, for what always seemed more like spite at my parents for pulling me out of school than any legitimate rationale.
