How do I stop the feeling of being homesick for a place that I have never been?

Go there, even for a visit. That should stop this feeling. Take a bus, it’s cheaper.

At what age do you stop getting homesick?

I've always gotten homesick. I think some people will just always get homesickness for a while when they're away. I dont think it's really something you grow out of. But on the other hand, when you get older you learn how to deal with pressure or being away because you're growing up. Good luck!!

How can I stop feeling homesick?

When, you are away from home, you certainly miss your home.So the next question it leads to - what you miss in home?May be, Family : Create a family of your own. Instead of living alone which amplifies your homesickness, you can live with friends. Sharing apartments can be joyous - if there is a connection between the people living in it. There are spontaneous plans. May be fighting who will cook. This creates an atmosphere of a family. Not replacing your old one but creating a new one. And visit your family, whenever you can. Call them. And pick up their phone every-time. Assure them that you are doing fine (even if you are not… cause they are far, and little they can do, creating only pain of helplessness for them)May be, Environment / Fondness of home-places : Certainly the home environment can’t be recreated. Where everything comes to you in platter. Mine is. But, then you may experiment with your environment. Which opens up new possibilities. And, exploring further of your surroundings will lead to a closeness towards it. Never compare your new environment from your home. Because, its new, and may be can’t prejudge it. Secondly, comparison only leads to creation of more home sickness, because there would be lot of things missing. Therefore, embrace what is there. And one more thing to add is that Comfort of home would be missing. Because, home is home, that’s why it is called HOME.And lastly, like to add - chill, everybody who leaves home, keep remembering Mother’s home cook food, Father’s Protection, Your own spots where you went and had fun. They are precious and become a good memory. These were precious to you, growing up. But sometimes, life has other plans.And remember, you still always can come back anytime, because its your home.

How to avoid getting homesick in the military?

I just talked to a recruiter, took the practice ASVAB (I'm taking the real one on the 23rd), and everything seems to be moving along quickly. She says if all goes well, by July/August I should be shipping off to boot camp (after I graduate high school). Now I am very nervous though. I want to go, but I'm going to miss my family terribly. I feel like crying already. I'm worried I will regret my choice when my parents die, that I'll regret I didn't spend those 3-4 years with them. So much is going to happen while I'm gone. Are you ever allowed to see your relatives while you're in the military?

How can you stop feeling homesick in hostel?

I totally understand you buddy! Being the only child I never lived away from my family more than two days , I survived 4 years of hostel life and best thing is I never had so much fun before! I am from a small town where I always knew that I have to live my home if I need to do something in my life, at least for education. So First thing you should do is keep reminding yourself why are you in hostel. Second thing is make friends. I have created a army of friends in these 4 years and have them for lifetime! Go explore the new city with your friends, specially if any of your friend is local, he\she can guide you to the best places in that city! And the most important, Keep yourself busy, if you are a student then STUDY, if you are working work hard,but don't ever tell or show your family that you are homesick. That hurts them more that it does to you. Call them daily and show them that you are enjoying your new life, it is the only thing they want to hear from you!Few of my Lifetime friends!<3

I still get homesick?? =/?

Hi there, I wouldn't worry about being homesick. I know the feeling, I am 18 and I have hardly been to sleep overs my whole life because I HATE sleeping in other houses. There is nothing wrong with you or me, I think it is great if you have a great relationship with your family and you just want to be at home in your own bed.
Sometimes when I would get invited to sleepovers I would just get my mum to pick me up really early the next morning, I would always say that I had something to do the next day and would need to leave by 9. I used to worry a lot about that sort of stuff too. Because I just didn't want to go and I didn't care whose sleepover it was, I didn't want to go.
My advice is to take comfort in knowing there are other people out there who are heaps older than you who are the same.
And also, remember as you are only 13, there are going to be heaps of times when you can't always go to these sleepovers because you have other things to do or you need to do something with your family. Just tell them you are busy that night with something else, or you could still go and do what I used to do, just make sure you can get home as early as possible the next day.

I can't even stay at my grandfathers without feeling homesick, so don't worry, you're completely normal and I think it's good if you want to sleep at home!! =] Good luck.
