My parents grounded me for going to church... What do I do?
Did you seriously think everyone was going to stroke your ego, telling you that you are perfectly justified? Nope. Not even you, kiddo. You now clearly know the ground rules. They are your parents. Deal. Ahh.... the good old days when our young were putty in our evil hands..... Bwa--hahahahahaha!!!!
Can my parents make me go to church?
I am 17 and I dont like going. It is boring and theres nothing but little kids there so I am always the oldest one. All we do is sit in the back and just wait for its time to go. I dont like gospel music and I am thinking being a Christian or if GOD exist. My brother doesnt like to go either. He is 16. The other day my mom was fussing at me and told me she was going to stop making me go since I dont want to then she made up a chore list and the bottom said we are going to church every sunday, Can she make me go?
Can my parents seriously ground me for not going to church?
I'm 15 years. My parents are very religious and they think it's a sin or something not to attend church. Lately church has been stressing me out, because their is this girl in the teen group that hates me. She is always saying mean things to me and making me feel bad. I just don't want to deal with it. Over dinner I told my parents that I don't want to go to church on Sunday and they told me that if I don't go I'm grounded. I tried to explain why I don't want to go, but my mom said that there is no excuse. Can my parents ground me for this? What should I do?
Why do my parents make me go to church?
Your parents make you go to church because as their child, it is their job to give to you the very best, and that is one of the things according to them. Don’t mean to answer this like a christian, but maybe you might understand if you see it that way: In their eyes, there is a serious wave of wickedness and immorality approaching the world, and only those steadfast on morals will withstand it. Evil will become so trivial such that it will happen frequently, and it will look good in the sight of the majority. So they feel they have to enlighten you till you are old enough to make those choices.My advice to you (not as a christian now), is to check these things for yourself. Don’t grow up hating christianity simply because your parents forced you into it, but don’t love it either for the same reason. When you check out sources, and determine for yourself what is proper, and when you are of age to decide for yourself, you will know in your heart that you are doing what is right.However, the right sources you go to are also different on perspective. Christians will tell you the Bible is the right source. Islam and atheism will tell you otherwise. Just, look, check and scrutinize….. anything that appeals to your ideaology, should be your go to.
My parents always ground me!!!!!?
So today I asked my mom if I can have friends per on Saturday and she said sure which is surprising because she never let's me have people over. So later that day I was talking to my dad and he starts yelling at me for no ******* reason in front of my mom. She then grounds me and says I can't do Anuthing on Saturday not even go out. I ******* hate them and they always do this to me almost every week and it's not ******* fair. I want them to burn and die in a hole.
My parents are making me go to church on Christmas, what should I do? :(?
Listen. If you chose to believe something, then it is your choice and only your choice. Never let someone else try to brainwash you into thinking something that they were brainwashed into believing. If you are not a believer, forcing you to go to church will not turn you into a believer, your mother must realise this and accept that you have your own mind. And your brother is being mean because he it his defence mechanism to prove to himself that he is making the right decision by choosing to believe in god. I am not your brother, but I can tell you that I am convinced there is no such thing as hell or any other "mystical/evil" place religious people have made up. Just choose what you want to believe and be a good happy person regardless. Besides, even if god DID exist, who is a better person in "his eyes"? you just speaking your mind or your dick brother who is a believer and is choosing to hurt your feelings?
Is it against the law for religious parents to force their children to go to church and believe what they believe?
No it is not against the law in any country that I know of, despite an increasing number of children turning up on places like this web site with tales of parents who regularly force their kids to attend religious ceremonies despite the youngsters declaring their lack of belief.When a child is being punished in any way for not believing, in the same way they would be punished for bad behaviour, I say this is an attack on that child's human rights. No child should have to attend church if they do not want to.But then, this is just another sad hypocrisy of religion.Religious leaders will shout to the rafters about human rights being abused in other countries but never speak out to the parent dragging a kicking, screaming child to a service that child obviously does not want to attend.And why?Because if religion does not brainwash kids, it has no future.If it had to start with adults, it couldn't survive. That's why religious groups are so keen to build schools rather than help supply food and water. That's why primary schools are riddled with religious paraphernalia. That's why religious propaganda spreaders are always on the school governing boards and spend so much time in schools. It's very hard to find laws that don't work in favour of the dominant religions of the country in question, which technically is a breach of the human rights of anyone who does not hold the same views. Paraguay is a prime example of this. Every week, in average two abused girls between the ages of nine and fifteen give birth to babies because they cannot legally have abortions, despite the danger of pregnancy. Despite a lifetime of looking at a child born from abuse. If caught the abuser gets a couple of years and is free to abuse again.Yet to change this sorry state of affairs, the Catholic church would have to admit it has policies that are wrong. And saving face is more important to Christianity than the trauma of poor young girls in Paraguay, or AIDS victims in Africa who contract the disease because the church told them (lying) that condoms spread the disease. That's death by religion, still going on today.God bless religion!
What should I do about my mom forcing me to go to church?
Youre underage at seventeen so you are obedient and respectful to your mother and keep doing what she tells you to do. In fact as long as you live free in her home and shes cooking for you and pucking up after you and doing your laundry and supporting your lazy self you respect her by following her house rules. As for black mail… Sweet entitled child - who paid for that phone?? And who pays for the calling plan??? Mum i bet. Which means its really her phone anyway. She has every right as yiur parent to remove anything from your posession she chooses as discipline for disobedience and disrespect. If you speed you get fined. If you steal something you get arrested. If you disobey mum you loose your electronics. Mum explaining your consequences for disobedience and disrespect is not blackmail. Shes giving you a warning so you can mend your ways and show her respect before you suffer consequences. Would you rather it be a surprise or would you rather know ahead of time so you can avoid the consequences by mending your behavior.Until you move out of mums house and support yiurself and buy your own toys you respect your mum. Even if you live in a country where adult ages are different, tge rest of the answer remains relevant. As long as mummy supports you free in her home you respect her and her rules.
