Hey, thanks for the informative video. I've been thinking of applying but have a certain problem. So I wanted to ask you: Can you leave the program early, as in late April? I've got to be in my home country by then to give my CIEs. If you could answer that then it would be a huge help, that's been stressing me out a lot. Thanks!

Last year, my Flex kid was given a choice of 2 return flight dates. One in May, before the school year ended here. One in June just after school ended. My guess would be "No, they won't send you back early," but I would send an email to the YES group in your country (If every student in your country needs to be back for testing, they might accommodate for that need.)

@genericamericanhostmom8342

Hi! not an expert (just a host mom who read thru a bunch of postings of kids looking to be placed here in the States.) There is a medical report that has to be done at the later selection process. Stable is the key word for medical conditions. While in the US, you will only have traveler's insurance, which means you can get treatment for an injury or a sudden illness (like strep throat) but no coverage for pre-existing conditions. If your condition is stable as long as you avoid gluten, then it will be noted that you need your host family to provide a special diet. If you require frequent doctor visits and medicine, then traveling away from your doctor for almost a year might not be what is best for you.

There are a list of 20 Rules that all Host Families must Enforce -- Including no drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no driving, no making any permanent changes to their bodies or lives (no changing religions, dying their hair, or getting tattoos.). We are supposed to return them to parents in the same condition we received them. As far as addiction goes...alcohol and tobacco are illegal for teenagers to buy. Most any other known addiction causing drugs are controlled and either require a prescription from a doctor or are illegal. (Codeine is not available without a prescription.)
@genericamericanhostmom8342

Harassment can happen. However, Exchange Students are under the protection of a family and the school they attend. Ignorance and prejudice exist...which is why I host students so the kids at the school can learn that people from my student's country are just people. Likewise, my YES student struggled with their own prejudices at the beginning of the year before learning that people are people.
