Homesickness can be a terrible feeling for anyone who travels away from their home town, country or simply away from the house they live in for a period of time. It is a strong feeling of wanting to go back to your own places very much. Some people get homesick easily while never experience it at all.
Different people deal with homesickness in different ways. Some ring home and have a chat with the people who they think ‘home’ – often their mum or dad. This may be a good idea for you to feel that you are not . It reminds you that home and the people you love are still there and that you will see them soon. However, it can make the homesickness even . By talking to people from home, it can make you miss them more! It can make you want to be home even more and make you realise you miss your loved ones.
