Going Away
I'm going away on a 10 day field trip with my school to Alabama ( I live in Georgia )I'm afraid of getting homesick. I used to get homesick all the time when I was little, then I just grew out of it. Now since I'm going to be away for a long time I don't know what I'm going to do. Any tips incase I get homesick?

Bring a stuffed animal from home or a blanket. And bring picts. of your family! O and call if your allowed to and writing letters helps too, even tought your family might not get them till you get back it helps to think that they get your letters.
Hope I helped! Good Luck!

I think once you get out there with your friends and start having fun, you should be fine. just think, you'll be home in a few days.

Most people do grow out of it and you probably have too, but it's good to be thinking this way just in case. I've been a summer camp counselor for two years and I have to help with homesickness all the time. Contact with your family, or having something to remind you of home isn't the best solution. That stuff can actually trigger homesickness. I've found that the best way to prevent it is not to put yourself in unstructured situations. Plan your day out to the minute and get excited about what you're going to be doing. Don't set aside time to relax and don't let yourself get bored. So, all in all, stay active and have as much fun as possible as often as possible. I'm sure you'll have a great time. Good luck! :)

Maybe you could bring some pics of your fam to look at when you feel homesick or if you're aloud t bring cell phones, give them a call when its convenient..or just keep busy and talking with your friends, you will probably have such a great time that you wont even be thinking of home :)

You should most likely be fine. As long as your with all your friends & everyone you go to school with, it should honestly feel like home. You spend more time in school than at home with your family in the course of an average week. If you need to, bring a picture from home of your bedroom/house/family.

I used to have the same home sick problem, I recently went on a trip wiyh my friend, the summer actually. I tended to get home sick the most when I read letters from my family and when I talked about home. It can get hard. But, make the most out of your trip.*

Call them every chance you feel homesick. What I did when I was little was had my family members each write me a couple letters. Whenevr I felt homesick, I would read them and feel a whole lot better. Then, I would write back to them (even though I wasn't sending it to them really) answering any of the questions. It really will help. You can also send postcards. Try not to think about them, it's hard to, but keep your mind off of them. Bring pictures to look at, and if you have anything like a "blankie" or "teddy" bring it with you. My little sister used to bring it with her and sleep with it. Stay happy, and have fun because it helps you to forget worrying.
That's all I can think of for now. Hope I helped! Tell me how everything turns out.

use a phone to call your family back home and tell them about your entire trip each time you get homesick! it helps relieve the stress!
^^ PLEASE let me know if I helped or not.
**hope it works out**

I used to get homesick when I was little also! It was crazy, I'd get homesick at a simple sleepover =/ But anyway, bring something with you that reminds you of your home or your family, like a picture or something. If you ever feel homesick, just look at the picture and it might make you feel a little better. Also, bring your pillow with you. I know it sounds obvious, and a little weird (for being homesick), it helps. At night, if you feel homesick, just hug your pillow. It helps ;)
Another way of dealing with being homesick, is just surrounding yourself with good things. For example, your friends. Stick with your friends, and believe me, you can get through ANYTHING :)
