OK
so i did it, i took my moms advice and moved to the Dominican republic. at first when i got here it was all so new to me. i mean i speak a bit of Spanish,but i would never say that i am fluent. the family that i have been living with are so nice to me, they make me feel so welcome and n part of the family. i mean back home i am loved and everything dont get me wrong, its just that the way i was brought up compared to the way things are run in this household is soooo knew to me. at first i thought that by leaving home i might stop being depressed and finally grow up with out having to asked for help. i also wanted to leave cause i was soo tired of all the bull that was going on there, but being here made me realize how blessed i was home. like the road that am living on isnt even paved just a dirt road with old broken homes and poverty, i am so blessed to be one of the few on the street with a really decent house. like these people are so F^%$#$@ happy and they dont have anything . am so not used to being hugged all the time when i want to choke them so bad. like the guy who lives here named “Carlos” is like an older brother to me, he is really nice and humble but he hugs and kisses me to much. not in a perverted way but i just cant stand it! i hate it when older men look or touch me, i guess it has to do with the fact that i was sexually harassed when i was younger. but i am so trying to get used to it…. i just hope i made a good choice coming here because i wanted to leave my family . not gain another…………

I think it’s a really brave adventurous thing you’re doing and Dom rep is a beautiful place. The locals are very warm and it’s normal to hug and kiss, but if it makes you uncomfortable you should say something. They are very straightforward and they won’t get offended but you need to tell them because otherwise they won’t know any better.
your right. i will try. thank you
