How to tell host parents I want to go home early
I really need some advice on how to have the ‘I want to leave early’ conversation with my host family.
Okay, so I’m currently doing an exchange in Germany and have been kinda struggling recently with not only home sickness but the pressure and exhaustion of trying to keep up all the time. I have spoken with my parents back home and we have decided that returning home early will be better for me and my wellbeing. Also yes I have had conversations with my host family about not being sure if I can complete the whole length of my exchange year but this was more towards the start of my exchange. Earlier they said that if I choose to go home they won’t be upset with me and will help me to get home but I still feel awkward about telling them that I've now made up my mind. I haven't left this conversation to the last minute either because the best time and flights for me to return home is at the start of August so I still have about 2 months to make the most of my exchange before I go home. I feel like within the last two weeks after fully making up my mind there hasn't been a good enough time to start the conversation.
