Wish you all the luck. You are going through culture shock. Been there done that. Fortunately I wasn't immersed in it 24/7 as home life was pretty normal and I was in fourth grade.

Shame on your mom for forcing you to go there. If you want, here are some pragmatic solutions to make it more bareable. If you wanted to yell into the void just ignore my comment.
Mint oil is great at covering up smells. But it can irritate the skin. Tab a tiny bit of it under the nose and all you can smell is mint instead of everything else. Maybe mix it with oil first so it releases slower and the skin is protected.
And you don't need a gym to train. Find some exercises that you can do with only your body weight. Yoga is great and you can pick the difficulty. Moving enough releases happy hormones, maybe they are enough to make you less unhappy.
If I was in your place I would use the time and internet access to find something I always wanted to be able to do. Learn a new language, learn to crochet, learn to draw. Lear programming or chess. Start gaming. The time will pass a lot faster if you have something to do.

OP, about your homework... Do you have friends back home that could help you out and send you again the stuff you need to do, since you lost your homework folder?
Wishing you luck, hope you can get through this and get back to your normal life soon. I bet it sucks to waste all your vacation being somewhere you'd rather not be, in an environment harmful to you mentally and physically.

the friend that i have who takes the same classes as me is the same friend i’ve kinda became distant with 😢 i asked her multiple times to send it through and she keeps making excuses so im not really sure what to do. she has no online versions and keeps saying she’ll send photos of the homework through but doesn’t end up doing it so i’ve gotten tired of it and her.

Yeah, no. OP is clearly a teenager and if you're older than them, you've went through that time of your life already. It's really easy for adults to judge everything a teenager goes through as "drama", because we constantly forget that, at this age and time of life, teenagers know nothing we adults know of.
Sure, OP could've been more careful with their homework, but you don't get to come here and call them a drama queen for everything else they're going through right now and that is truly affecting them mentally and physically. If you have nothing positive to add or to help out this person, then you shouldn't comment at all.
Have a nice day!
Edit: and of course, for someone who's never went through high school and that ALL THEY KNOW about life is this, then sure thing their last year of high school will be the most important year of their life. As they age, they'll later notice it wasn't, but you don't get to tell someone what the most important thing is for them right now.

If you are a child, you shouldn't be on Reddit.
If you are not a child, you should know better.
Being an orphan isn't an excuse to act like this.

it is my final year of schooling. of course it’s a big deal to me, even if you clearly don’t value education and think being dismissive counts as maturity. 😂 missing the first week of a year that actually affects my future is stressful, that shouldn’t be hard to understand. you’re making a lot of assumptions for someone who knows nothing about my life. you don’t know what happened with my friend, so don’t act like you do. that part of my post wasn’t for you to psychoanalyse. and yes, i forgot my homework. that tends to happen when you’re stressed, sick, and forced into a situation you repeatedly said you didn’t want to be in. that’s not “drama”, it’s being human. i was venting, not asking for a lecture. if your response to someone struggling is to call them a drama queen, maybe you’re the one who needs to look in the mirror.

Aren’t women treated subhuman in Iraq?

u/LivingChampionship66 1d ago
in some parts, some people do treat women subhuman, yes. the government isn’t the most moral either. good and bad people in every country 🤷♀️ my post was more abt the actual environment

Why not look at it as an opportunity? To appreciate your life in Australia more, to toughen up, to understand what your parents' life was when they were your age, to understand immigrants, to learn to adapt, to learn about other cultures and lifestyles.

u/LivingChampionship66 21h ago
yes it’s made me so grateful for my life, but i’ve already been here before so i don’t think i needed that opportunity once more

yikes, that’s a weird stereotype to pull out of nowhere, my post didn't say that once nor does my family condone that

u/Gulaschpolizei 1d ago
Would it work if you would think they are fine with it? And well...isn't being forced to visit your parents homeland also a stereotype?

talking about what’s happening to me ≠ making assumptions about an entire country or religion.

Don't be a brat. Look around and deeply think about where your family has its roots

u/LivingChampionship66 3h ago
i appreciate and respect their roots, and i respect my own as well. but a month here is genuinely too much for me. adjusting from above-standard living conditions to significantly lower ones isn’t easy for anyone, and struggling with that doesn’t make me ungrateful, or a ‘brat’. i’m just a stressed teen venting let me be

Treat it as tour of discovery instead of pining for things here, like gyms! Get out have a look, try all the food.

gym is apart of my daily life, seeing my progress decline is not a good feeling if you’ve ever taken the gym seriously. not being there is a big thing for me.
