So im an exchange student and have been in France for 7 months and supposed to stay til June. I got lucky and have an amazing family it's just the school situation. Everyone doesn't talk to me kinda like I'm not there they know I speak French now . I feel so excluded and lonely that it's become normal and when I saw my sisters last week I just broke and told them everything. Now she told my mum and she suggested I go home which is what I want to do but I feel guilty leaving the family when they planned shit for me to do with them. I just regret saying anything but you know when people keep asking what's wrong I always break . Should I leave or stay

You have toughed it out for seven months. You have only THREE months left. Why don't you ask the family with whom you are staying if there are any counselors at the school you attend. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone for perspective.

The counselor might even find you a buddy to hang out with for the time remaining.

When I was facing hard times, (and I faced a lot of them), I used to say to myself, "I could stand on my head for three months.", (...or four...or whatever time I had to endure).

I know you want to go home and your Mum wants you home...but isn't that like extending your childhood?
