Answers:
You aren't a baby at all, I went to a residential School from the age of 11 and hated going and cried every Monday night until I was 15, and again when I started at a new residential establishment!. Think about what you are going to do when you get up or go home like helping with your disabled brother!. Can you go into his room to check he is sleeping soundly!? That will make you feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i wouldn't say you are acting like a baby
but i do think you need to learn how to cope better
so talk to your parents when you are settled and back home about some ideas on how to avoid this

at 13, you typically shouldn't be having this strong of emotions about going home and being homesick given the situation

i would talk to your grandparents about how you feel
you MIGHT be coming across as snotty or rude to them, and i don't think that's your intent at all
so be sure to thank them and apologize if your behaviour affected them or made them think you were not happy with them

i hope the night goes quickly for you
remember, you are not a baby, just learn from this
good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

its fine to be homesick, but just think of it as a fun night out!

really, its nothing to worry about!. you will see them tomorrow, just think of it as an adventure :)

and ive got excema too, just put lots of moisturiser on it and sit with it until it stops!. rub moisturiser in circles all over your body, its relaxing and helps stop the itchyness!. dont itch with your fingernails though, cause that wont help!. if you really do need to itch it, rub with the palm of your hand!.

dont be scared, if you cant sleep, try reading a book or just sit and watch your brother sleep for a while!.!. the rise and fall of his chest!.!.!. often watching someone else sleep can make you sleepy yourself

good luck and good night sweetie, and no!. your not too old to be homesick!. everyone gets homesick once in a while, no matter what age!. :)

Wow!.!.!. If I'm with (close) family I never get homesick!. Only camp!. But just remember!.!.!.those are your MOMS parents and your moms a part of them!. And their your grandparents it'll be just fine!. And just think your mom and dad get some alone time your doing them good!. Just be glad their happy!. And the sooner you go to sleep you'll wake up have a nice breakfast by your g-parents and will leave at 12pm!. It shouldn't be too bad!. Your mom slept in that house (or in the house of your gparents) when she was little so just think a part of your mom is here!. Don't worry get a good night sleep!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

poor you mollie !.!.!. ive been living away from home for years, and sometimes i get homesick too!.

Your not a baby, just try to relax!.!.!. take a few deep breaths, lie down, and try to chill out!. Think about it - only 10 hours!
dont get upset

When i cant sleep, i always lie down and close my eyes, and imagine im on a beach somewhere hot, and i can hear the waves and feel the sea on my toes - it works ALL The time!!!

I hope you feel better soon - try to relax, things always seem worse when your tired!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

A lot of people don't like being alone at night, no matter how old (and yes, being with sleeping grandparents counts as being alone)!. When my college roomies would go away for a night and I was left in the apartment by myself, I would set my laptop on a chair by my bed and watch The Princess Bride on it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

everyone gets homesick, you must not stay overnight places much eh!? since your online work a puzzle or something, what is eczema!.!.!. if its something to really worry about wake up your grandparents, you'll get though it tomorrow will be fun^^

plus the longer you stay away from your dog, the more happy he is to see you, if you go home later he will be jumping and peeing everywhere because he is so happy haha!Www@Answer-Health@Com

my sister has the exact same thing as you!.!.and she's 14!. (she's usually ok if i'm with her though!.!.like if we're at our grandparent's house)
i don't think you're being a baby though!.
you obviously have some sort of anxiety about being away from your familiar surroundings and the place where you feel comfortable in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Mom and dad went to a show
Droped me off a grandpa joes
I kicked and screamed, said please, oh no

(chorus)
Grandma take me home
I wanna be alone

Had to eat my dinner there
Had mashed potatos and stuff like that
Couldnt chew my meat too good

(chorus)

Said why dont you stop your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
Thats what I did, I killed my toes

(chorus)

After dinner, I had ice cream
Fell asleep, and watched tv
Woke up in my mothers arms

(chorus)

You'll be ok, hun!. just lay in bed and think of something nice!.!.!. like something you're looking forward to!. You'll fall asleep and next thing you know you'll be home!.

you'll be alright, i promise!.

before you know it it'll be time for breakfast, and things are very different in the daylight!. Noon will be there before you know it and your parents and dog will be just like you left them

try reading a story or watching a video- something to get your mind off itWww@Answer-Health@Com

You're not too old to act like this, infact, you're not acting like a baby!.

You're not the only one who feels that way when they're somewhere other than home!.

When you're bored, it makes you think!.
And then it will end up thinking about how you're homesick!.

So entertain yourself, do things that stop you from being worried!.

never to old to be homesick, the next time your away bring something that reminds you of home a stuffed animalyour own pillow or blanket, try now to think of how it will be when your parents come and get you but if you really can not wait then wake someone up maybe all you need is a cuddle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your not to old to be homesick!. You need to try to get off of the computer sweetheart and try to get to sleep!. just think about tomorrow when you get home!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's good to be attached to your parents but no so much that you can't spend a night without them at age 13!. Suck it up and lie in bed until morning!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your mom cant always be there to protect you!. Sometimes you just have to do things your way!. This direction could bring you new things in life!.

It's completely normal to feel homesick right now!. I hope that once you make some friends , those feelings will lessen!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's alright!. You are okay!. just take a deep breath and wait it out!. You will be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

loser!.!.you're 13 grow upWww@Answer-Health@Com

No!. You are not too old to be acting like a big baby!. I am 17 years old!. When I was 12, I went on a school trip for the weekend!. We were in a hotel about two hours away from my house and I was so homesick I was crying and it was awful and I stayed up all night and couldn't sleep and as soon as it was morning I called my parents and got them to pick me up!. It's not dreadfully uncommon!. I grew out of it!. This last summer, i went on a different school trip for two weeks without any problems!. It's just a "phase" and I wouldn't worry about it too much!. You're not abnormal :)

Now, as to what to do right now!. If you are at all religious, I would pray!. It is very comforting, or maybe you can listen to music softly!. I would not cause a fuss and call your parents to pick you up!. I would at least wait until morning!. Try to have that much willpower!. If you really really can't stand it, can you call a friend from school that wouldn't mind talking for an hour or so!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
