This Instagram Account Full Of Kids' Homesick Letters From Camp Is Hilariously Real
"Get me OUT of this #$@&%*! camp!"
Homesickdotcom is a hilarious Instagram account chock-full of letters that miserable kids sent home from camp.
Some of the unhappy letters are polite: "Please come and take me back to New York, away from this hellhole. The electricity is malfunctioning, the septic tank is rupturing, the insect repellent isn't working..."
While others bring the anger: "Get me OUT of this frikin camp. Miles gave me the finger. Everyone in the bunk thinks I am a bitch. ... Send stickers, and Fatheads, and cards."
And some lay it on extra thick (like this kid's letter that included a "tear drop"):
The account is the brainchild of New York–based sisters Aliza Licht and Ilana Yunis, who attended summer camp as kids and enjoyed it. So last year they sent their daughters to summer camp — and received homesick letters from Ilana’s 10-year-old daughter, Serena.
Aliza told BuzzFeed, "Serena was sending home these torturous, heart-wrenching letters. I felt terrible for her, but there was something amusing about her letters because they were so dramatic."

"We figured there must be thousands of kids sending home these kinds of letters, and soon Homesickdotcom was born! Parents DM us their letters, we redact the names of the kids, and add our own funny commentary."
