I'm 19 and at college and sometimes get extremely homesick.. Its hard to constantly be around your peers because they don't give you the kinda of love your family does. I know when something is really bad and I tell my mom she really listens, cares, and helps me. Many times peers don't even know what to say or you don't want to really share something personal with them. I think its very normal to feel homesick and everyone does. I love my friends but your parents always have your best interest in mind many times when your on your own you get involved with people who use you are bad influences or don't really care about you at all. I think you could make friends easy though because I guarantee your not the only one that feels this way. Join a club or try to find someone with similar interests as you. Even if you are very shy people don't know that try as hard as you can to be outgoing start saying hi to people ask them what they are doing.. No one doesn't like a friendly person.

I am so sorry,, I have been homesick in other countries too. The best thing you can do is try to get involved in the local setting. Learn about the arts and crafts. Learn the history of the place. Go to shops and "window shop" about things you would like to take or send back home when you can afford it. Keep a diary fo the good things you see.
Its hard I know but if you can concentrate more on the area that you are in you will be less likely to feel so lost and alone.
PS any person of any age can be homesick, its normal.
Good Luck.

It has to be hard being so far away from home, your friends, your family, your familiarness with everyday living.
To help with homesickness, here are some tips:
Try to stay busy by doing activities wherever you are, whether it is a Friday night dance, or to a singles group at a church. You didn't say your age.
Make a weekly phone call to your parents and write letters to your friends and family.
Talk to someone where you are.
Sometimes, just telling someone that you're feeling a little homesick will help you feel better. You might make a friend that way. To make friends with people, try smiling at them and looking them in the eye. Give them compliments. Tell them to have a good day. Start small like that if you are shy. You will surely make friends.
Maybe your parents could send you some care packages to help with your homesickness.
It will get better. Have faith and try to make one or two friends to be able to talk to and hang out with. I am sure there are others who feel lonely and homesick too, if they are in the same boat as you. If you see someone who looks sad and lonely, give them one of your best smiles and say hello. You may meet your bestfriend that way.
Here are some articles on Homesickness and how to handle it with teenagers going to college and such, Hopefully, they will help: http://teenagerstoday.com/resources/articles/homesick.htm

Take a deep breath. Things aren't that bad. You are away and have the opportunity of a life time to learn things you would never had a chance to staying home 24/7.
You need to change your attitude and determine to make the best of this opportunity -YOU CAN DO IT. Make your self jump out of bed and get going.
You will be back home again and that will be a great experience but in the meantime there is nothing wrong with having a good life.
Good luck-- I am sure you can do this.

It will take some time. My husband uprooted me and my daughter and took us over 2000 miles from my family and friends. Granted, I did finally get the strength to take our daughter and return home, but this was after a year of thinking "I am ok.....I don't need anyone but him." My situation is completely different, I am sure, but I know how you must be feeling.
