How can I cure homesickness? I'm going to Brazil this summer for a month without family and staying with a Brazilian family. I'm 16 years old, and my first time abroad by myself. Your advice will be helpful. Obrigado!!!(Thanks!!!) =)

Remind yourself why you went to Brazil in the first place. You must have gone for a reason which you have considered extremely important. If you still have homesickness, call your family often, and maybe even talk it out with the family who you are staying with. They could have some pretty good suggestions.
Most importantly, Brazil is a beautiful country. Don't sit around all day moping about how much you miss your family, go out and have fun =)

Hey, you should be having such a good time that your family will only enter your thoughts in a good way - such as "will tell my mum/dad about this" "must get a photo to show them at home" etc.
With email and messenger you can "chat" online and keep in contact if you can work out the time zones, and just keep enjoying your experiences and not thinking about how sad you are to be away from home. You've been there for 16 years, one month is a fabulous experience, and only a tiny part of your life.
MAKE THE MOST OF IT AND HAVE SOME FUN!!

Keep as busy as possible. If you are able to do so, try to call home once a week to stay in touch; use the internet to stay in touch. And keep telling yourself that you'll be home in no time. The time will pass quickly. And enjoy - it's a beautiful country!

Keep as busy as possible,,,enjoy yourself and take alot of pics from a digital camera if possible,,but take alot of pics or movie camera,,,you will probably never be there again for along time,do alot of sightseeing on your spare time,,take money to buy gifts from out there to bring home,,,you will have fun and time will go by fast,,you will say when time to go home,,that sure went by to fast and you wished you could of stayed longer,,have a great trip,,good luck,,enjoy yourself
