A question to people abroad

I wanted to ask a simple question.How are you treated abroad?Like I was talking to my friend the other day .It's been a year since she left with all her family.She still goes to school.She was telling me that people there HATE them .Her younger siblings are bullied to this day.So I was wondering that everyone is so hell bent on leaving this country so that they can be happy.But if people there don't even respect you and look at you with disgust then what's the change?
