I think it depends heavily on the individual parents doing the homeschooling. I had a close friend in college who had serious socialization and anxiety issues stemming from homeschooling. I also know a number of adults who were homeschooled and are very well-adjusted and successful. The parents who homeschool b/c they really have a passion for education seem to do much better than those who homeschool out of fear or peer pressure.
