Any help would be appreciated, cause I guess all I really want to do is talk to someone..
As for whether things would remain unchanged if you stayed home instead, no one can really tell. In my case, my friendship with 4 schoolmates actually deepened after those years abroad, because I remained in close contact with them. The same went for family relationships.
Since you're already abroad, you might want to consider making the best of the situation. It'll be great if you can look back at this period of your life with fond memories years from now, don't you think? 
Lastly... we don't really know each other that well, but if you want to talk to someone, I'm willing to listen. My email address is

Take care and all the best! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
