Answer 1

Sounds like you're just nervous about the prospects that await you, like college or being out on your own.

Don't let it worry you too much, honestly. This is part of life/growing up. You'll always be home sick, in a way. And this is not necessarily a bad thing. Home is where the heart is. Just keep in regular touch with your family...visit when you really get home sick. Everything heals in time as you become used to being out on your own. Just don't forget to congratulate yourself when you've finally made it on your own.

Also, there is nothing wrong with feeling dependent on your family, whether that be emotionally, socially, etc... That's what family is for. If you have a strong family life, be thankful. Lots of people have been forced to make it on their own without a strong family base...think of how much harder that must be. You'll be fine...

Well, first, almost everyone gets homesick when they go off to school, if not everyone. And you will probably go through a phase where you just want to go home, but give people a chance and get to enjoy it. Maybe go to a school that is close enough to home that you can still drive back for a weekend every once in awhile, but are still on your own.

Every school that I know of also offers counseling sessions, and if you are feeling depressed when you go off to school, please take advantage of them. I had a hard time transitioning when I went to grad school (partially from some home sickness), and I wish I would have taken advantage of the counseling center before I did because it would have made things better a lot sooner.

Ultimately, moving away is just a part of growing up, and you will have to do it eventually. After college begins, home will not be the same (friends will move away, etc), and you need to get out there and experience life. Just don't go crazy like some people I knew in undergrad. Partying too much will just cause trouble.

Gosh do I ever feel for you because I was just the same. I'm 52yr & for as long as I can rememeber leaving home has been traumatic. Unfortunately my job required tons of travel but it helped. College is a different experience, but the NEW enviroment, friends & excitement helped me be OK. Your freshmen year, try to come home as often as you need. Pretty soon, you'll have so many weekend plans, you'll beg your parents to let you spend the weekend at college. I even got a job as an excuse not to come home (it was a very, very part time job) Good luck, dear have a great time in college. It was the best time of my life.

the first thing to do when you`re homesick is call your parents and talk. I hope you brought a picture of them too. It`s okay, usually sooner or later the homesickness will go away. Do more fun stuff, call your family, get a regular time schedule when to study and when to play, maybe buy a pet, and always always never le the homesickness stay there. I wish you great LUCK!!

Answer 6

Can you go to college in your home town? Maybe the first year at least, it would help to stay in town. You probably need to get used to things gradually. You'll just be away for a few hours during the day. You need to spread your wings sometime. Gradually would be the best approach. It would be difficult to live in a strange place along with all new classes and teachers.
Good luck.

Answer 7

It is normal. Maybe you should try to get out more and perhaps take a job working some place or baby sitting to make yourself feel more independent. You do not mention your age but college is often something you can do close to home.
