Have you ever tried being away from your family and friends for a long time? How long do you think it will take for you to feel homesick? A week? A month? Or will you be more than happy to be away from your nagging parents? Will you be phoning your parents everyday to tell them how much you miss them? Maybe cry while talking with them on the phone? Or will you be too busy enjoying your new freedom to bother about them?
Looks like you're homesick to me. Well, I'm not sure about that. But I don't like my parents phoning me when I'm on a vacation with my friends or so. And I don't like to phone home when I'm away, except if I were to stay at a place for a long period of time, like you're now. But I prefer to sleep on my dear old bed at home. Maybe it's due to the towering pillows on my bed which make it irresistable to me!

Yeah, I don't like any disturbance from my family when I am with my friends. However, they seem not to understand me, They want me to phone them when I am on vacation, or else I will be scolded. They said they will feel worry if I don't do that. What the hell is it? We have only not met for few days and there are nothing to be worried. We can meet everyday, every minute and every second......I just don't like that!
Hah...... You're complaining about your parents! But mine aren't that worse. They'll for sure never do it again after I complained it last time. But I think they've forgotten about this since last time I travelled with my friends was years ago. Should've reminded them again when the day comes!

How long will I take to feel homesick? Well, I think it will take quite a long time before I miss home. I have been longing to be away from home to train myself into an independant late-teenager. We are all growing into adulthood soon. Feeling homesick does not help us cope in the future.
And to tell the truth, I haven't really had any chance to be away from home for a long time, say a month or two. So it would be tough to tell whether I will fall homesick or not.

You seem like a bird being locked up in a cage! Poor child...... Actually, I prefer a college life to Form 6. I have been longing to change my learning environment, and I hate going back to my secondary school. College life means freedom! No need to wear compulsory uniform. No need to wear white-coloured school shoes. No need to adhere to the hair-cut rules. And, most of all, I can meet new friends from all parts of the country.

I get homesick extremely easily, especially when I'm not happy in my new environment, like now. Sometimes I get homesick even before leaving the house! I actually cry sometimes when talking through the phone with my parents, or when listening to their voice mails, or even when I think of them. Guess I'm pretty weak, huh?
I think you are lol...... Hey, I suggest you listen to Kelly Clarkson's Miss Independent. Maybe afterwards you will get enlightenment from her song. Heh......

I don't think i'm homesick since i seldom phone my family when i'm on vacation. I think my family is ok with that cause they never say anything everytime I came back from the vacation. They want me to be independent. So I'm not worry or miss my family when i'm going out with friends.
Sorry, I don't have any tip for not being homesick or independent. I think my mum trained me since I was young cause I'm the eldest among my siblings. So I have to do everything by myself. Maybe this is the tip. Who knows?

Not really......it's not a matter of whether I can do things independently without depending on my parents, that won't be a problem eventually as I'm getting used to it already. However, I still can't help missing my family and my home sweetie home. That's what I mean by feeling homesick, and I don't think there's a tip on how not to feel that way, is there?
But I think they've forgotten about this since last time I travelled with my friends was years ago. Should've reminded them again when the day comes!
