It is okay to miss your family and it is okay to be lonely and sad sometimes but not all the time. I am sure your family and you have made sacrifices so that you can attend school. Take the sadness you feel and use it, make it your strength. If you go back now, everything you have done and every tear you have cried will be for nothing. Think about how proud your family and you will be when you complete your studies. Reach out to other international students. You are not the only one.
Good luck!

Just relax. Ignore your uncle, as he obviously is not supportive. Continue to study. Make friends and go out and have fun. It's natural to miss your parents, but you are doing it to better yourself, and they are 100% supporting you. What you need to do every once in a while is get your head out of the books and have fun with friends. Keep in touch with your parents daily for at least 10 minutes, eventually you could change it to every other day.
Keep your head up.

Why don't you each get web cams with mic's that way you can "see" and "hear" eachother. It won't be in person, but that is the least you could do for now until you get to visit again. Your studies are important, but so is your family. They want to see you get ahead in life...do a little something for you as well. Take a small break from the studying and go do something for a little bit you never get to do.

i think you should listen to your dad on this one and make something of yourself. i am sure they are proud of you, and would not want you to sacrifice this because you miss them.
Can you call them more often, when you are down? Do you have a picture you can carry around and look at when feeling down. Do you have friends that can cheer you up and lead you on?
I am sure it is hard not having family around...I would have a hard time as well.
Good luck..I hope things work out for you.

just keep studying, that way in the future you can get a good career and your family will be proud of you
don't commit suicide - that will not make your family happy
so keep studying, make friends and just try to enjoy life as much as you can because some ppl have it worse
just relax and take it easy

oh you poor thing... what you should remember is that your parents blessing is always with you even though they are far... by killing yourself,you are letting your parents down....close your eyes and say a little prayer,you will feel better.... or maybe you can install a webcam and you can see your parents anytime
