homesickness...
almost 15/f
I go to a boarding school, I just got here like 2 days ago...
and the thing is- i'm already feeling homesick. Everyone here already knows eachother and I'm practically the only freshman!
I'm not preppy or shallow or anything but EVERYONE ELSE IS!!!! that's what makes me so uncomfortable with the people here.
any advice about how to not feel homesick is appreciated.
all the guys here are gay, but the ones who aren't gay are taken.
:(

That doesn't sound like a lot of fun! But don't worry, it will get better. You sound like you're a little more mature then some of the other kids there (i.e.- not being shallow..) so maybe that's part of the problem. It's just a matter of you finding some like-minded people. One way to do this is to start your own club. If there's something you're interested in - art, the environment, animals, whatever- find some other people that are interested in this and start your own thing. I did it when I was in h.s. and it was probably the only thing that saved me from going crazy. I met some great people and we had something to focus on other then the trivial things that teens normally worry about- something that really matters!
Sometimes writing helps too- like a journal or poetry. You can get the feelings out and once you do sometimes when you see it on paper you realize it's not as big of a deal as you thought...or you may find out that you're worried about something different that you thought.
My guess is that things will get better soon though.so just hang in there.

I go to a boarding school, too, and I'm guessing yours is in New England, considering you think everyone there is preppy. I started going to my school, Hotchkiss, as a freshman and I came a few days early for volleyball preseason. My first couple days, I HATED it. All of the freshmen on my floor were there for field hockey preseason, so they were extremely preppy. I just didn't fit in, as a small-town girl from Montana. But after a while I started to meet some people that didn't fit the New England boarding school stereotype. Soon you'll figure out that the cool thing about boarding school is that there are different people from all over the place, so there are different personalities, even when it seems like everyone is the same. You've just got to take the time to find the people who are going to be really interesting and easy to get along with. Don't worry, you'll make friends, and boarding school is hard, but I have grown to love it.

well it usually tough on the first couple of days. just hang in there. what might help is to make your dorm feel more like home, if you miss your parents there prob just a phone call, email, letter away. and with the friends, just continue being yourself and soon you will find true friends. you will find a place to fit in without having to be someone your not.
hope i helped, and hope you feel better :]

awww, i'm so sorry.
=/
but one thing I suggest is don't change who you are to fit in.
you'll eventually find someone and become friends.
Just talk to someone, i'm not really sure how it works though, cuz i've never been to boarding school.
Don't worry about guys either, they should be the least of your priorities.
I'm sure there has to be some new people there.
hope you feel better.
