Should i go to school?

ok, so im 16. i've been homeschooled my whole life, never set foot in a public school except once when i took my cousin her lunch. almost everyone i ask says that they love love love school...only a few say that they'd rather be homeschooled....my parents say that public school kids are really mean....and that i would hate it....i really wanna try it out tho...and this fall will be the perfect time to try since my dad's being transferred to atl so we're gettin a fresh start anyway. so should i go?
