I think that it is at some point especially if you are not used to being away from your family. But if this has been going on for a long time now you may want to check into seeing a counselor or a psychiatrist. It is always hard when you are young to step out on your own. But it will get better, you will see.

I left for another country when I was 19, and never looked back and never intend to go back. I think it all depends on how you were raised and the family relationships you have.

Try to meet new friends, broaden your horizons. Remember your original home will probably be there for a long time, and you probably aren’t missing that much.
