Desperately wanting to go back to the Philippines.

12 years ago
Hi, my name is Christian and I'm 17 years old. My story is quite long so I'd rather not share it with you guys at this time.

I was born in the Philippines but relocated to Australia when I was 8 years old.

I'm barely surviving here. I just hate this place and I dislike the people. Ever since my visit to the Philippines in 2011, I have been extremely depressed and suicidal because I have lived a boring and dull life here and I was missing out on the place I truly belonged.

I don't care if I live a poor life, I don't care if I don't get 3 meals a day. I just want to leave this hellhole that has been slowly killing me.. My friends, my cousins, my family, my girlfriend, everything awaits in Philippines.

I just wished that my parents never brought me here to Australia because this isn't for me.

Even though I have many oppurtunities here in Australia, I would still give away this life in a heartbeat and return to my home.

Can you guys help me with moving back? I'm not entirely sure of what I must do to be able to return and never come back to Australia.
