Problem of My Life..

Okay, Well my parents are forcing me to go to church Every Sunday and Satudays to talk to the priest. It really bothers me because I’m not christian at all, I beleive in both but don’t chose to worship any of the two. Well my problem here is that I’m grounded all summer because I refuse to go to church and my parents say I’m Satanic or something. Which I can be Anti-Christian at times no offence to all christians I respect ya all. So how can I tell my parents that I don’t want to be a Catholic?

Answer #1

tell your parnets and the priest how you feel if dont except it fine they will not change your mind and tell them exactly that

Answer #2

Sounds like my parents. Just sit them down and explain how you feel…tell them you are just not ready for some things right now and that when they force you, it makes you push away. It does to me…I’m so tired of my family pushing Christianity on me.

Try going to church, but asking them not to have you talk to the priest, say it doesn't help you. But if you are still under their roof...its inenvitable...:P 

The best way is talking to them about it. If its something your not interested, don’t be forced into their conformities. Look around and find something right for you.

Good luck! :)

‘So how can I tell my parents that I don’t want to be a Catholic?’

good luck with this one, 10 years later and my parents still dont get it… The best you may be able to do is to come to some sort of compromise. Look at it this way, going to church if you dont believe is just sitting in a big building and you’re spending time with your parents while people are talking about beliefs they have… It doesnt really hurt anyone if you go to make them happy… You dont lose anything, and they’re happy… As for the confession, isnt a forced confessional kinda pointless? Because the whole point of confession is to willingly confess? I have no idea what to tell you regarding that.

Answer #4

stay positive, meaning- if your life continues to go in a positive direction- your parents will have less to complain about and nothing to focus on and lay the guilt trip on you for not liking to go to church.

if your life starts going down hill- it will be blamed on your lack of belief in ‘their god”, and ultimately to them it will be a sign that you are “demon possessed” which will bring more lectures from the priest, and more church time.

believe in what feels right for you- and allow it to make a change for the better in your life- if your parents see you are doing ok, they may not like your choice of beliefs- but they will not be able to speak negatively about who you are.
