Help me Please with this problem, advice needed pronto-should i go?

• OK it's January right now. In June there's a trip to Germany. We obviously have to pay beforehand. To stay for 5 DAYS. Now i'm 14 year old female. And i am really really close to my mum. She means the world to me, literally. And i really want to go and all, but i just haven't stayed without my mum ANYWHERE, not even at a relative's house. Now you might think this girl is really old and is probably mentally retarded, needed her mother at this age still. But i love my mum alot. my best friends are going on the trip. And i will miss out loads and i will regret going But then again what if i start missing her like mad and start crying for her?-Although i think i will be able to control it. But what if? I mean then, i will be saved from the humiliation if i don't go. I;ve never been a single day without my mum. anywhere, Now i need your opinion do you think i'll be able to manage? Do you think when i get there i'll be distracted by the amazing chocolate factory, theme park..

• Answer:

  its ok not to worry, now the thing is you could think of this as the ideal opportunity to gain some independance and maybe get into the habit of being ok without your mum. being without her doesnt mean that you dont care, or your not capable. if you start getting worried or anxious it ends up making it more difficult for yourself. be a little confident or maybe even talk to your mum about it! plan your trip so your busy and your minds kept of being sick! and trust me 5 days will go pass sooo quick! think about it one day will be taken up with the travelling and unpacking/packing etc! so in effect its only 4days! you can talk to your mum via fone before you go to sleep and when you wake up! and dont worry about your friends if their really your true buddies im sure they'll understand otherwise they arent really your buddies at all are they! hope all goes well and dont worry too much chuck!
