Thanks everyone for the different leads....

I had already known of those listed, perhaps I should have written
more about the active part. I have found quite a few sites including
yahoo groups for unschooling teenagers but none of them seem active
and in fact some of the links included in a website started by NBTS
teenagers are not in service. Maybe if we all told our kids about the
one at unschooling.com there would be a central place to get started.
It just seems like there are a lot of them but none are active which
is too bad because my daughter really enjoys interacting with other
unschooled teenagers.

In her words after coming back from camp, she said that it was so
stimulating to be around other kids who follow their passions and
have so many interests.... Not only did it motivate her to rekindle
some of her passions (she has struggled being an unschooler
throughout her life as she tends towards being not very self-
motivated), it also was the reason she changed her mind about going
to high school next year for social reasons (she like other teens
really need peer interaction). She had signed up with a high school
correspondence school so that she could learn how to learn through
textbooks in preparation for going to school. After coming back from
camp she remarked that she didn't feel like her social needs would be
met going to school since the kids there are forced to conform by
peer pressure where she was so happy to be surrounded by individuals.
