Hi Bev
Its very hard when you first make the decision to home educate and your family is not be supportive, home education can be so flexible and it dosen't have to be like school. They learn so much on a daily basis and they can follow their own interests. Anyone can home educate
you just need to deregister her from school, it might help if you set up some sort of plan on how you are going to progress for the first few months, even if its just your plan and your 12 year dosen't see it. She can still mix with her own age group through other youngster who are been home educated in your area, you will need to do some research and find out through education otherwise contact list and see whats going on, theres lots of other things going on after the school hours she can get involved in.
I have home educated both my children Jodie is now 17 years coming up to 18years old and only went to school when she was 5 years old for 8 weeks, and Ross is 15 years old never been to school until 6months ago when he tried it for 3weeks and decided it was a no no.
If you want to chat more please email me, I know its a big decision but if your child is unhappy is the best decison you can make.

I have a 12 year old who I feel would benefit a great deal from being
home educated.
her father and I have split and I've been considering it since she was
7 but he and friends of ours won't give it the time of day.
I really want to get away from secondry schools as i feel they are not
doing a good job and pressure children. I work 4 days a week. Can I
still home educate dispite this. and will she still mix with her own
age group
advice would be great.
thanks
bev
