READER’S QUESTION: “I am 21, and I want to go home. I'm a student, and everything is going wrong in my life: I can't stand loneliness, which means I'm stressed and unhappy all the time. I'm a work-study student, and it's going badly. I'm not passionate about what I do. I dream of stopping everything to go back to my parents to be with my family. (This is what makes me happiest: I can sing all day, cook, clean, and my brothers and sisters are really funny and we do music together.) The problem is that my parents have little money, and I will share the room with my sister. They live in the middle of the countryside, and I'm not at all sure to find work. I do not know what to do. So should I leave my studies and go home?"
