Don't be embarrased, we all go through that stage at somepoint in time in our lifes, and look at me Im almost 18 and still get homesick. But I bet together we can overcome it, because the Lord says we are OVERCOMERS.
hope this has helped

 I was the same way... and honestly i missed out on a lot for a long while because i was terrified to leave my mum and da. Just push through it. When i was 15 I told myself I couldn't do that anymore if I wanted to remain good friends with a lot of people. They would always have sleep overs mostly at my house but then my friend moved a few hours away and a group of friend would go visit on weekends without me. I had missed out on overnight trips, school events, and really good oppurtunities... so i decided thats it. I knew i was surrounded by good friends and my friends parents were always nice people so i pushed through for a few trips and then i was ok

 Hey girl,
I went through exactly the same thing when I was your age, honest! I used to love the idea of staying over at my friends places, but as the night went on, I used to get so anxious and want nothing but my mum! I used to call them in the middle of the night, begging them to come and get me! Luckily, they knew it was obviously just a transitional phase I was going through and they never did come and get me and i'm lucky they knew that because I never would have learnt to deal with those anxious feelings if they had driven over to get me!
I promise you these feelings you are experiencing will pass and you will start enjoying being away from home. But as eyeswideopen said, you are still very young and it will get better over the next few years. Don't try and grow up too quick and maybe just stay away from home every so often (not tooo much) and make it a slow transition.
It will get better, I promise you! :o) xxx

 You are still very young, this dependence on the security of home will slowly dissipate over next few years. You may always be more of a homebody but it will not be quite so intense. Just keep going out with your friends, relax, and have fun. This is such a special time of your life, enjoy it!
