Extreme homesickness help? Please!?

Just got to step outta your comfort zone, it can be quite tough but always remind yourself "I can go through this is not that [hard/bad/tough...]"

I agree with the first dude that answered. I'm not going to say his name because I don't like it :P

I hardly ever hang out with friends because my mom would say no. I want to hang out, but when the situation arises, I don't want to go because I'm not used to hanging out with people and the thought makes me uncomfortable. But I'm going to have to step out of my comfort zone and so will you. If you don't break away now, your parents will realize this fear that you have and they will use it to their advantage, and you will never be able to break away from them. You really don't want to be 15 and be able to count on one hand the times that you have hung out somewhere extracurricularly without your parents there. You really don't want that embarrassment. Trust me.

That first step is always the hardest! I have had a few really bad experiences with homesickness over my life. The worst was at a Boy Scout Camp at your age. I am now 23 years old and even though I live in the same state and only 90 minutes away from my family, I still get homesick at times. It is not something that age can cure. I also travel a lot and have realized that no matter if I am only 90 minutes away at school, 900 miles away on the other side of the USA or several thousand miles away on another Continent... homesickness feels about the same at each destination. By the way, other than one time when I was young and had a fever of 104.5 degrees, it might just be the worst feeling you will ever face. Luckily, for our generation we have Skype, Facebook, and very good ways of keeping in touch via technology, this can help homesickness! You can always pack a few small mementos from "home" to keep with you on a trip like a picture or stuffed animal.

Start by having a few simple pictures of specific loved ones that you miss. Too many pictures can lead to too many missed memories.

Find an activity to do when you miss your family. Maybe paint or sew? You can always send your creation back home so a part of you will be with them. This also helps you from focusing on home too much.

More importantly, make sure you have a friend. You will be homesick much more often if you're lonely. Having a friend provides a distraction from feeling bad, and it also gives you someone to talk to about it who can comfort you and make you feel better.

If you cannot connect with your home and are secluded keep a journal. Tell it your worries and how you have been feeling. Home is often a source of security or love. Having something to put your feelings into will help prevent missing these qualities.

Call Mom, Dad, Sis, Bro, Cousin, Grandma or whoever and keep in touch. It is important to accept that fact that you are outside of the household so keep your calling limited to once or twice a week. Calling too much will make you feel part of the happenings even though you're not, and will eventually lead to more homesickness.

Keep a positive attitude! Think of all the great things that are happening right now. Maybe you're away at college or starting a new life? Focus on making a new home instead of missing an old one. And if you're only gone temporarily try to enjoy what you are experiencing now. When you return, you will not want to look back and see that all your time was spent in misery.

It's ok to let it out when you come back. Showing a loved one that you missed them can be projected in a lot of ways.

sometimes you have to learn to step out of your "comfort zone", it will get easier the more you do it....if it doesn't over time, then you might have cause to worry.
