Today, it's been a week since my family moved from a city to a house we inherited out in the middle of nowhere. It's horrible! There's wild animals everywhere, my dad says I have to help take care of the house now, it's a thirty minute ride to school, there's no sidewalks, and I hate it here! I want to go back! FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents said that we're moving back to Los Angeles. I'm so fucking pissed off because in the couple of years since we moved to a tiny town, I've become a different person and love my new life. This is just completely undoing everything I've been through and they won't let me move in with my new best friend. FML
Today, I got back from a camping trip after being homesick for 3 weeks. I couldn't remember why I had wanted to be away from my family for so long when I signed up for it. When I got home, I remembered. Everyone in my family hates each other. I want to go back to the camping site. FML
Today, I found out that my over-controlling parents would be moving in next door. I'm almost 23, and moved 5,365 km away to get away from them. FML
Today, I finally left New York and moved back to my little hometown, only for the job I had lined up to fall through. Now I'm unemployed, can't find anything, and my parents aren't willing to help because they're angry that I "walked out on the family." FML
Today, after a year of moving to a new country, getting our kids settled into the new education system, and our commutes sorted, our landlord notified us that he needs the house back for his son. There are no similar rentals or properties for sale in the region. We have to start over somewhere else. FML
Today, me, my mom, and my brother lost our house, the place we had lived for my whole life. I can't describe the pain I feel because my whole life was painted around that town. I had also just made friends as we were moving. I now live with 7 other people from my family. I can't be myself and I don't have my own room. FML
Today, I moved back in with my parents in order to help them with the mortgage, so they don't lose the house that has been in our family for three generations. I also found out that I now have a curfew, and so does my husband and our 3 year old son. FML
Today, I traveled to my hometown for a funeral. I'm staying with my family in the house I grew up in. My dad told me they'd "completely renovated" the house. There's still only one bathroom for the seven of us and I'm sleeping on the floor for the entire two weeks. FML
Today, my family got mad at me and called me a "selfish" for not moving to the same state they’re in while I was visiting, so they could be closer to my kid. We were living in the same house as them until two years ago, in my current state, until they decided to move with only a month's notice for me to find a new place. FML
Today, after months of telling my parents I was going to live on my own, I finally moved out. Not even 24 hours being out of their house, some reject burned down the apartment complex I live in. Guess who's moving back home. FML

It's scary and horrible and stinks. Culture shock is a bitch that can hit like a wet kipper to the face. But you will get used to it. The scary will become familiar, the horrible will become beautiful and when you are old enough to move back to the city, you'll miss the peace.

Change that we personally didn't initiate is usually scary and annoying. But change is inevitable in life. Learn how to adapt to this change - A lot of people would love to experience what you have the opportunity to experience now... I grew up in the country and have lived in the city and the suburbs. Every place has good and bad things about them. Learn to see the good side of where you are.

Your situation, while not to your liking, is quite temporary. It seems your family made a sound financial decision to occupy an inherited property that is likely costing them far less to maintain than your previous city dwelling. Once you reach adulthood and start making your own choices, you are free to live wherever you can afford. Likely, that won't be a popular metropolis for quite some time.

in a couple years you'll be in the city yearning to leave the hustle and bustle. My parents did the same to me and it was the best thing ever. we moved from a town where we were close to everyone, to 20 minutes outside of town. it's my best memories though

What bugs me here is you complaining about having to help take care of the house. Did you not have to do chores and the like in your previous house?
