Nowadays, 
 prefer staying away from their own peers. While there are many disadvantages to 
, I personally believe that the advantages 
 as living an independent way of life and a chance to explore the 
 outweigh the disadvantages.
On the one hand, I concede that 
 get homesick when they stay away from their families. 
, when children have to go abroad for pursuing a master's, they need to leave their home and parents and travel to a whole new environment. 
, they get homesick and sometimes could not stand the pressure of staying away from family. 
, end up losing focus on their career. 
, 
 going away for employment usually have to stay alone in a completely different environment and have to earn for the basic necessities. In 
 a case, 
 have to prepare their own food and pay for their own living, even though they are not aware of basic cooking skills. 
, if they do not know basic cooking skills, they will soon end up staying hungry or having to eat from the outside. 
, despite these negatives, I believe that there are far more positives to moving away from family and friends. 
, humans become independent. 
 many might say that staying far off from close ones would lead to home-sickness, which will

 who say leaving a child on their own will make them walk on the wrong paths and get attracted to various illegal activities, I believe that

 ask their children to stay on their own and study in a different country in order to explore different regions of the 
 and the new ways of life. 
, they can learn more about the new cultures in different countries.
In conclusion, while 
 become homesick and need to learn various ways to cook and earn when they stay alone, 
  provides benefits 
 as independence and a chance to explore the 
. 
, on balance, I believe that the merits outweigh the demerits.
