I've aready begun feeling bad about leaving for college in San Francisco. Does this mean I should stay home? I mostly want to stay home because I don't want to lose touch with my siblings (they are thirteen and eleven). My brother is a bad influence on them and I don't really want them around that without me. Please help.

I don't think anyone ever left home without mixed feelings. The night before I left for college, I sat on the kitchen floor with our dog and cried my heart out. My siblings were 13 and 10!
What I found out is that no distance can separate you from your siblings. You have the phone, maybe computers with webcam? and you can visit home. Your feelings are COMPLETELY normal! But GO!! You can always change your mind if you feel it's not working out. But this is your time. Your future. I think if you go, you will never regret it, but if you don't go, you may.
You're a terrific sister. Your influence is already in your siblings' heads and hearts. Take this step and be the best you can be!! Hugs and tons of luck.

Nah...I think your siblings problem is just a small part of your whole question here.
It is very normal to feel a little weird out a few weeks before you leave your comfort zone. But look at it as a great adventure. Most people who move away from home for the first time feel the same way as you and it is perfectly usual. Go! you can visit your family whenever you want. Leaving away from home will teach you so many life lessons you can't obtain if staying home. You will learn to be more independent and open-minded. Homesick will be gone before you even know it. Don't double think! Go!

Ah you'll be alright. Just give it time and you'll get over the homesick thing. As for you siblings, well just keep in touch with by phone, email, when you can't visit them in person. Keep your good influence going with them a best you can, but don't drop school to stay home and care for them, that's what your parents are there for. Just maintain some sort of communication and let them know no matter what you will be there for them and that they can call you anytime they need you.

I would not be homesick. This place is a hillbilly backwood town that I now loathe. Not the place I grew up in that's for sure. Too many druggies and freeloaders are taking over.

of course not. i also feel that when i leave home for college too. i think you can call them every day. or chat with them on the internet. have a web cam at your school same as with your home. open it every time they are at home. just watch them and talk to them. that's what i did during may college life. You like a fool but it helps.

Felt that way too at one time but you cannot baby sit them for ever and you have your own life. Just try to keep in touch with them as often as you can. Good luck.
