Yeah that’s kinda how my situation is because there is this woman that had an exchange student before also a German girl and she would love to take me in. She told that my counselor three weeks ago, but my local coordinator complicated everything. She is already so excited because she is...
Yeah I know you didn’t. You don’t have to accept it as valid because this post is not about anything like that. It doesn’t matter if my hostfamily is „crazy“ because I didn’t ask for help about living with my host family but about them taking my phone.
Well that’s not at all how it is. And why I said „cool“ things is because that were the exact words my host mom used during the talk with my local coordinator. I’m not staying in my room with my phone but with homework. Doesn’t have to do anything with my phone. Only one of my host sisters works...
Yeah I do know that my parents still have custody (that’s what it’s called right?) because my organization told us that but I didn’t know that they can use that in this situation too. (This sentence was hard for me to explain, hope you know how I meant it)
Omg thank you so much!! That really does help.
I was thinking, that it would be really disrespectful to not allow my parents to talk to me (because that’s what they wanted to do, even with the time difference, since they know about this situation and how uncomfortable those people make me feel...
I don’t want you to, that’s nothing I could do about it. And they know each other from church group etc. because they go to a trip in December for 3-4 days every year and my host mom is going with them. So it’s not like they haven’t spend time together.
Yeah, I was thinking about everything. And I‘ just gonna play nice and ignore them most of the time (I don’t mean when they ask me a question or something, but like when they are home then I’m just gonna stay in my room)
Because I’m getting finally moved, for sure, next week. So I don’t even...
It were some students who used the word „crazy“. And it’s not how you think it would be, cause I know better to not listen to those. It were all the students in my bus and I know them now for 3 months and there were some girls, that don’t talk bad about people at all, and always see the nice in...
Oh no it wasn’t about chores. If they would’ve told me to do that I would.
It’s about me being in my room on the weekends (mostly doing homework) when they are outside giving the cattle some shots or stuff. But they are outside working cattle all the time. so I don’t know when the „cool things“...
I don’t need the police for that, thank you for the clarification.
And no they don’t get any money. Me and my school counselor (who helped me more than my organization) think that there’s pride is hurt.
Also many people from my school that knows my host family told me that they think that my...
I just thought of something, I don’t know if it makes sense but my phone is actually my parents property, I just have it with me, does that change anything?
And I know it sounds like I‘m a teenager that only thinks about phones but the think is we live in the middle of nowhere, I’m not allowed...
It’s a long story. My host mums grandpa died, she stays from Friday to Monday in Oklahoma at her grandmas, I feel really bad in this situation and it makes me really sick because I had something like that with my own family. And that also makes me more homesick. I told my host parents about that...
I‘m not getting physically hurt. Mentally yes, but that’s not important I experienced that with my organization who doesn’t care. Anyway it’s not like this is a family thing cause they daughters are on their phone 24/7. But yeah, guess I will hide it. Anyway thank you for your help!
Okay so because I have the possibility to talk to my organization or family at school (even though I miss class for that) , I can’t stop them to take my phone? Is that what you are saying, just making sure I understand right
Hi, I am an exchange student from Germany. And on the question I asked the first time ( I know it wasn’t a question that makes sense to be on this forum) you can see that I have some problems with my host family. So it’s getting even worse and I still want to leave them ( that will probably...
