I am in boarding school and very homesick?

I dont know if I can help you feel better but I will try. Your parents obviously want the very best for you as they are spending a fortune on the best school. That is long term planning for your future. You will be highly educated and very eligible for an excellent job and good social standing. That will be your life then. Now it is so so hard. Girls that age especially can be cruel and mean in their cliques and with gossip. If someone gossips to you, try to keep out of it. Just smile at everyone even if they dont smile back. Do you have an advisor or counselor you can speak with? I KNOW they would be sad to read your message as it is their job to help you feel comfortable. I am not saying to go try and make friends with these other students but perhaps you could get a little job? Like in the library or cafeteria or take up a sport you like? Ask if there is something to help you be busier so you can divert your attention. It WILL get better with time I promise. Only go one day at a time and tell yourself if you get through the day by smiling at one new person, you will reward yourself. Maybe write it in a journal? I want you to know you are in my prayers
