I'm a 13 year old girl, who majorly suffered from homesikness, and only managed to overcome it a few months back. I thought that i couldn't do it and that I'd always hate sleepovers, until i found a few ways to stop myself! These are my tips and tricks, and i hope they help! if they do, follow for more!
1) Know that it's not weird to strange to feel homesick, many many people do, from all ages and genders! Even if your friends don't mind sleepovers, there's always going to be someone out there who feels exactly the same as you do!
2) To get a bit of practise, try staying at your best friends house before you go to other peoples sleepovers( you can go round their house for the day to start with, to get yourself happy with the surroundings!
3) Bring something that reminds you of home, like a teddy or a pillow or blanket. You could bring photos of family members but I personally found that this made me feel worse and i missed them more!
4) Bring your Mum, Dad, sibling or whoever is taking you to the sleepover to the door, so that you can hie them a goodnight hug, i found this worked really well!
5) Text family members throughout the sleepover, I avoided calling because again, it made me miss them more. Text them goodnight before you go to sleep as well!
6) If you feel homesick whilst trying to get to sleep, I always think of your plans for the next day, think of something nice you could do with your family when you wake up the next morning!
7) remember that it is only 1 night out of the hundreds with your family, and once you wake up the next day, it'll all be over!
8) Stay busy! Engage in games or a movie, this often makes you sleepy so you will fall asleep quicker!
9) If you really, really miss home and you feel like you can't bare it, its okay to say you don't feel well, but avoid doing this too late because you could frustrate the host and your parents!
Hope that this helped, good luck!

"Loose yourself in the music the moment you own it, you never let it go"
Eminem's quote- Think of now, not before, not the future. Concentrate on the present, things shift around the hing you do in the moment, loose the past. Present holds your future.

"never forget who you are"
A line I found on a recent Tumblr, and agreed that it's an important message. It's a weird thing, changing you for others, it's easy, and can happen in a flash. But don't ever feel like your not good enough, never feel like you need to change for other people to be "cool" or fit in, always remember who you are. Who you aspire to be!
Thankyou and remember: you are beautiful.

"Say yes"
Two little words, with a powerful outcome. As a suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, saying yes to anything at a time was a hard thing to do... even if it was going on a sleepover or a trip into town with some friends. All i wanted to do was stay with my family, in my home because it felt safe, and i was afraid to leave what i knew. As silly as it may seem, it can be tough and very scary to say yes to things sometimes, especially new things, that you've never done before! But now i try not to look at it in a negative or frightening way, i think of it as a window of opportunity, grasp it while you can, even if it's just dip your toes into the water, at least you can say you gave it a go. The world is your adventure, just say yes!

"Got my dreams, got my life got my love, got my friends got the sunshine above, why am i making this hard on myself when there's so many beautiful reasons I have to happy!"
This line comes from the Natasha Bedingfield song: Happy. I love this quote because sometimes it's easy in life to forget what you have and despite my best efforts, sometimes i take them for granted! It helps me to remember that i always have somethings or someone to turn to, regardless of what the day will bring!
Thank you, and remember: You are beautiful.
