Copeings easy ;p If you can't cope with not seeing your family then you should be worried about what's worse than thatIm 17 and i live in south america need advice?
i had a friend who lived in the us with extended fam. and he seemed to cope by getting involved in thing to get his mind off things.
I'll try my best. How about write letters or email them? Why don't you occasionally go visit your family on holidays on New year's day, Boxing day(I am an American so I don't if that's a national holiday or not), Christmas.
there is a free program (service) called SKYPE you can go to skype.com and download it. then have your family do the same. you can talk, like on a phone, over the computer. and if you all have video cameras on your computers, then you can video conference. this will keep them MUCH closer...
