Struggles with Research Paper

ok...struggles? haha where do I start?? i've had so many problems writing this paper... i swear it just hates me or something. first of all, the bibliography was extremely hard for me to do. i have no idea why... i realize it shouldn't have been as hard as it was, but it was for some reason. i couldn't get the right format going... or the right kind of sites, or really just understanding how it was done. i hope i did it right now. ok... but for this actual paper?? well, finding the stuff wasn't so difficult.. there's plenty of stuff supporting homeschooling. only thing is, i'm not exactly sure how i'm supposed to show the opposition. what is the opposition in my case? am i supposed to show why homeschooling is bad? or why public schools are good? either one of those options kinda just takes away from my entire paper... so i guess that maybe i just don't understand this concept... or whatever. like i said, i think the whole thing just hates me or something. so i guess that's the really big struggle i'm having. finding the opposition. that's what my peers told me from the peer review too. i need to have the opposition side showing... but i don't see how i'm supposed to do that exactly. this whole thing is just really confusing!! it also doesn't make sense to do research on something that the info has already been researched... like if your trying to make a new discovery or something, so you create your own new experiments or something, i'd understand, and this would make sense to me. but being as anyone can go find this info online, or read about it where ever they want to... it doesn't make sense to me why we should be writing a whole new paper on it. what's the point really? anyway... that's my rant for this post. hopefully i'll just get this whole paper over and done with and i can forget it. haha heaven knows i procrastinated enough already for this paper, so i'm glad its almost done and over with.
