Answer 1

do things that you always do at make, your bring something/buy something that you know would make you feel like your actually at home

Answer 2

what i found that works is to challenge myself to do something out of the ordinary, like to meet & make a new friend. it really occupies your mind when you put your mind to it.

Answer 3

Take something from your home that you can relate to..sounds silly, but maybe a homemade cake..and item of clothing..you know, the touch, taste or smell could relax you

Answer 4

The Welsh have a better word for it...HIRAETH.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Make your self feel at home and take your mind of things, chillax and take a break!!!

Answer 8

I have the exact same problem.  I can't even sleep when I'm away from home and out of my own bed.  I have not been able to find a solution either, except to stay at home and not go anywhere.

Answer 9

I would suggest. Keeping yourself busy so you don't have to think about your family. Just try to forget all about them during the time you are there. If you feel really upset and want to have a cry without doing it in front of everyone and getting embarassed. Then have a shower in the morning or evening and let it out, that way no one will realise.

I went through the same thing when I was about 10. I went away for a week with a friend. Looking back it was still really good fun, but I wish I'd not felt so homesick.

Answer 10

Do as much as you can during the day take your mind off thinking about your family.Take pics of them too.

Answer 11

You could just stay at HOME!!!!
