Many such cases

Today, I'm thirteen and I don't have a social life, because my parents started homeschooling me in the second grade. FML
I agree, your life sucks 1 120

then your parents are failing miserably as your teachers. in addition to booksmarts, learning how to properly navigate social situations and how to express your thoughts to strangers are integral skills for kids your age. I've battled social anxiety and selective mutism most of my childhood; doctors, medications, therapy, etc. I only really got better once I finally put myself out there & gained true friends. if you don't want to grow up to be a socially awkward hermit: make as many online friends as you can, chat with them via text & voice, even if it's painful at first. it can never really replace in-person communication, but it's better than no social life at all. one day, you'll inevitably make a friend who has the means & desire to visit you in-person. your parents don't seem to want to help you in this regard, so unfortunately you'll have to help yourself. I can't stress enough that having good friends is essential for your mental health & your ability to express yourself, especially at your developing age.

Hey, at least you have an excuse for not having a social life. Some weirdos are surrounded by huge numbers of people and never have one...or so I've heard.

depending where you live many places have laws against that shit and once you're 13 you can choose where you want to be educated hopefully your parents haven't corrupted you too badly ☹️
