I need to make a HUGE decision with in the next couple of hours.

i just moved to non u.s country, and i am very unhappy. After fighting non stop with my mom asking to move back with my dad in america, they finally made their final decision that i would stay here. I just recently noticed that staying here would have a lot of advantages, however… i am given the option of move back or stay here. I only have a few hours to decide which makes it a whole lot worse on me. I would want nothing more then to move back home. But at the same time, there is something thats telling me to stay here… i don’t know what to do! help!

well… the only reason i think i should stay is because the school i go to is very good (however i am not doing my best) and i dont want to leave my mom here all by herself. my friends here arent anything special, no offense to them.

Go back if you are unhappy NOW. There’s much to be said for having family close to you. I traveled and lived in many places, but there’s no place like home. Usually, when we seek something elsewhere, we find we could have had the same thing at home and still have had our family and friends nearby!
