Just make the best of it and remember that you will be going home soon.

I am not sure what problems you are having with your family. If it is bad, try to go home if possible. If it is just homesickness, then call your parents and email them and your friends. Get to know your family better while you are there and do new things. Go out and experience the town and maybe make a new friend. Take pictures while you are there to show your family when you return. Have fun!! You are only young once. I wish that I could have visited more family when I was younger. I really missed out. Plus my family was a little lousy so it may not have been a good thing. So if your family is nice and caring--appreciate it. Maybe learn something new--like how to cook something different or learn to play a game/hobby. Make sure you are polite and respect their home and help out so that you will not make them feel bad. They will respect you if you respect them.

Well first off, its good for you to talk to your family that you are visiting about it! It is very normal, not sure what age you are at but it happens! I think you want to get your feelings and thoughts out. Do you have to stay the whole time? Can your trip be cut short if you needed to? You need to feel what you are feeling, and know that it is all normal stuff. I think the more you can keep yourself busy too, the better you'll feel. Just a thought, good luck! I bet, given a few more days, and talking to others in the family, you'll be fine!!! :)

I'm so sorry if I don't help you as much as you want to be helped. Try relaxing!! I know that same feeling because I went to a summer camp and the only person I saw who I knew was my cousin. If you have to cry, cry!!! Let every single one of your feelings out in a room by yourself. Try to go to a spa or act like you're at one but don't annoy other people when you're doing that. Be nice to your family and make sure they are happy. I know you are family but please don't go in their fridge and ask, "What's for Dinner?!" Because people find that annoying... (I know I do.) I know they are your family but leave them alone...if they want to be bothered (not trying to be mean) with you they will come to you...I really hope this helps and I hope you have a BLESSED day.
