Why am I starting to hate school vacations?
I am 13, three years ago, with my family, whenever we had a school vacation we would go to europe or tropical places. Now, all of us kids pay the same prices as adults and my parents make less money than they used to. All of my friends are in new york city, europe, south america, africa many tropical places. On facebook everybody saying how much fun they are having at the beach or wherever they are. Before I used to go on those trips but I don't anymore. It is going to be my birthday in three days and we are going to washington dc for a day (I live two hours from there), my dad is always promising me its going to be the funnest trip ever, but lately what he says isn't true and we never go on really fun trips. I hate the fact he is trying to do efforts but he knows I will be disappointed deep inside. I am so sad that all of my friends are at hotels having fun while I am spending my days in front of the tv. I know I am lucky that I at least going to washington but compared to what I used to it is depressing that we have passed from being the traveling family to the boring family that stays at home. The fact that I am trilingual and that I travel made me unique. Now I don't travel and its not our special fun family thing anymore. All of my friends are gone on vacation so I cant do anything with them. How should I spend my vacation and not make my dad feel miserable because he knows I am going to be disappointed. Instead, my dad is working in his office while we stay at home at watch tv. We do not have anymore fun family time and it makes me so sad.

You poor dear! You could always go get a job or put yourself up for adoption!

Try doing something fun yourself, you don't always need your friends around to have a good time. There's lots of things you can do, try developing a new hobby; you could paint/draw, write a story, pick up an instrument, start up a scrapbook, bake nice food, or go for long walks or take up a new sport, apply for a job (its better than sitting watching tv all day and you get paid which means you can go out and do more fun things) or do volunteer work -because there's lots of people out there less fortunate than you, and helping out will make you feel good. Surely there must be other kids at your school who don't go away for the holidays, try connecting with them and then you will have friends to do things with because some of them might be feeling the same way as you are -lonely and bored. So don't get down about the fact that you aren't travelling these holidays, just remember all the good times you've had with your family and know that they are trying their best, and that things will probably get better if you're patient enough to let them. In the meantime, just try to have some fun. Hope this helps, enjoy your holidays!
