My parents sent me abroad (New Zealand) in January due to the situation in our country and honestly even after almost a year here I still feel homesick and lonely even though I’ve made some friends.

      Nah, I don’t believe my family or I have what to be pitied for. We’re the privileged ones. Only a very tiny minority can afford to send their kids to the other side of the Earth for safety in case something were to go down. My sympathies are with the people dying on the frontlines and with the people suffering.
