Help Me: Im 20 years old & my parents forcing me to go to church?
Do you think your parents would be accepting if you went to another church instead of a Baptist one? Personally I'd suggest either finding a 'non-denominational' church if you believe in the Christian God specifically, or a Unitarian church if you believe in the concept of God or a higher power in general but don't like having to adhere to a specific belief system, or are searching for the right church/religion for you. If worse comes to worse, accept that it's there house and their rules and go to their church if only to placate them - it's not like you've got to go every Sunday, just on vacations and stuff. And, how do they expect you to be in the dorms or at home even by 9:30 - every single semester, and usually when I've been on vacation, I've had classes or work that go later than that! Personally, I'd suggest if it's at all possible, arrange to shadow a doctor who works a slightly later shift, then if your parents say anything just tell them that's the doctor's hours and you're staying later for work - that'll give you some 'me time' earlier in the day instead of shadowing all day then not having any free time at night. Heck, I took as many late-night shifts as I could on vacation, it wasn't uncommon for me to get back from work after midnight =) Oh, and lighten up on your parents a little if they don't know they're rewarding your sister's lying and bad grades - some people are just excellent at pretending to be a 'good kid' and who knows if she even believes in God at all and isn't going to church just to take advantage of your parents thinking she's a perfect little angel? However, I would suggest conveniently putting your sister's report card somewhere your parents could find. Even if she knows you pulled it out of the trash, it wouldn't be like she could claim you were framing her or anything cause the report card doesn't lie and your parents can call her teachers if they doubt what it says.
Can parents force an 18 year old to go to church?
My parents are literally forcing me to go to church. I will be 18 in a few months and they have STATED that even when I am 18 I have to go to church. They say as longs as I live under there roof I have to go. Now I am TRYING to move out but I can not find a job so basically I am stuck with controlling parents on my A$$ all the time treating there almost 18 year old ADULT child like I am 7 or something! I think its wrong. Everyone I talk to thinks its wrong! I don't know what to do.
Can a girl be forced by her parents to take a virginity test?
Depends on her age, and what state you live in. In most states the legal age for consent is 16 years of age. Also, You're girlfriend can tell the doctor shes uncomfortable with her parents forcing her to do this and most doctors will refuse. While her parents may think its immoral for her to have sex out of wedlock, what they are doing to her is worse, and in my opinion immoral.
Can a parent force a child under age 18 to give up the teem mom's child for adoption or to have an abortion?
No, but I agree with you, it SHOULD BE! I'm all for FORCED ABORTIONS! If I as a parent have to be responsible for my child and her mistakes and support her all along, then I should decide if she has the baby or not, not her! If we could force these kids to go through the abortion, maybe it would make them think twice before allowing it to happen again! SOMETHING has to be done to STOP these kids from choosing to have children they can't support or care for! It's just utterly ridiculous!
