Question:
We have a single child, boy, his name is Muhammad Iqbal Irfani, now 16 years old and just started school in grade 2 SMA Al Azhar Department of IPS. When in grade 1 at the same high school, have few close friends, but when the increase in class because my best friends get in science classes, they will feel our son in 2nd grade social studies majors still strangers because there is no longer my best friends.
Recently, our son TSB told us about his desire to come home schooling alone, for reasons that have a lot more time to play music, sports. We think the reason they will not appropriate for our children during the holiday season they will not also exercise and play music now and again, mostly playing games. Frankly we have to say to our children for home schooling that we do not agree, because then socialization getting less, what are our children they will have no other activity besides school.
During the first class of high school and our son wants only private tutoring at home to deepen school lessons, tutoring in a course if the group does not want to, why talk to more friends. In fact, according to our study in the course would be better to interact with peers, critical questions from other friends can add new insights and also to socialize.
Please help suggestions / opinions so that our children are more motivated learning and want to socialize. Then if home schooling is better for our children?
Thank you for your attention.

Answer:
Thank you for the trust given to us. During the 16th age of the child is still in development the so-called stress strom end times full of emotional instability. This time the child easily affected by the environment.
The period in which the child prefers ngegank or make a bunch of his age, and make decisions without thinking. The right thing for your son is to give him direction. Invite him to speak lanyaknya friends listen to what he wants but also explain the result, ask a friend who used to also participate persuaded him to stay in school so that children can receive our feedback.
Home scoling not the right path to an education for children who do not have a busy work as an artist, keep the spirit, also desperate to cultivate the belief that you are able to not give guidance on your son's lunch is important to you. Thanks so my input may be useful.
