Anonymous asked: I've been thinking a lot lately about leaving school and I finally made the decision to today. What are some things you do now that you're unschooled?

Cool. I do lots of stuff, just find some things you’re interested in and see if there is a way to pursue them in your town. One of the best things I did was meet other unschoolers. You should think about going to a session Not Back To School Camp this fall, or on an Unschool Adventures trip. (If you came to the writing retreat in Colorado, we would meet!) If you want to travel, first get a job & save up money. Make a list of goals you have to do every day.. (ex. mine is do 60 mins of interval training, do yoga, create something, and do something kind) Though, I like to keep fairly busy, you can totally be more relaxed than that. Just do literally whatever you feel like doing, even if that includes things that other people don’t call “productive”. Take naps. Take care of your mental health. Read The Teenage Liberation Handbook. Stay interested in life. Good luck with it.
