You have problem , take one thing by the time, and move on.

It sounds like you are suffering culture shock. It is a known fact that it usually takes 4 to 6 months to adjust to a new country. Give yourself this time before making your decision, as it is expensive to move again and if you do you"ll be wondering about your parents. You might find that you arent in so much hurry after your friend arrives. I dont know where in Australia you are living and it is a vastly different place depending on where you are, but try joining a club or going to the local pub once a week. Before you know it you"ll be having fun. If you still arent happy after you've given it a go, then you aren.t meant to be here. Home is where the heart is. Lifes short so have fun.

Why did you go to Au in the first place? If things has turned out differently than you had expected, or if you have given up whatever it is that you wanted to achieve down under, then there's no reason for you to stay. But if you had a dream and/or a plan, and you are on track to make it come true but you're just feeling lonely and want to give up, then you should stick it out until you meet your dream or knowing that it cannot be met.
Best of luck!

I think you need to give it a bit longer before you decide. 3 months isn't long to get settled in a new town let alone a new country. I think you should give yourself a year and see how it is. In the meantime perhaps you could talk to your parents about how you feel and see what their opinion would be on you going back to the UK.

im sure once your friend arrives you will start to enjoy yourself and maybe begin to make friends...australia is a friendly country and if you really want to be happy only you can make that happen,it does help if your surrounded by people that love you but that cant always be,so you get tough with what you need to see in you life and dont settle for less than your hopes and wishes and if you find the right person they will be for you like you are for them...so stay strong follow your feelings thats drive you and your everything..if you would like to chat please do so

Moving to the other side of the world is never easy. I moved to Australia myself about seven years ago, and would not want to be anywhere else.
Give it a year, and if your homesickness is still as bad as it is today, consider moving back.
