Reddit Family Keep Forcing Me to Go to Church
18 & still forced to get to church.
Have to go something off my breast. I don't agree with my parents church and I haven't for a while. Being forced to get every Sunday ,and sometimes on Saturdays as well, will not make me religious. I showtime college in the fall, but I don't know how many more Sundays I can put upwardly with. Does pushing religion on someone actualy work?

Doing something you don't intendance for merely to placate your parents is perfectly fine. Tell yourself y'all're doing it to keep them happy. This style you'll feel in control and more hands bear it.
And technically you lot are in control. If you laid down on the floor, they probably wouldn't drag you physically there.

I'd exist pretty sick of that, too. What happens if you don't go? Well they pick you upwards bodily and carry you in?

I like having a identify to live haha.

No, information technology doesn't work at all. At all-time, pushing information technology on someone will only result in lip service to the organized religion. While I was attention higher and also living at home, my mom tried to do the same to me, but I would just fall asleep and text during sermons, so she gave up and simply fabricated a oral communication almost how she was disappointed in me. Still, your parents audio A LOT more organized religion than mine (I didn't even know Sat sermons were a thing), so just endure it till y'all start college. You only have a few weeks left to go till you have total freedom.

You're right... but is there some other fix? When I come up home for summers or holidays it will exist the same manner.

Have y'all tried volunteering somewhere in the church building so you don't accept to spotter the service? I used to volunteer in the nursery simply and so I didn't have to listen.

I know exactly what yous feel. While away for college my parents often asked if I attend church and pray, and they were upset I didn't. I was still forced to get for all the major holidays when I was back dwelling. Now at 24 I'm living with them for a calendar month and even though they can't strength me to go to church building, I know that if I don't become my dad will be upset at me and requite me attitude for the reminder of my stay. At this indicate I go only to avoid arguments.

As long as you lot live nether their roof dont mutter. If you disagree only tell them. Your 18 now stand up up for yourself.
level 2
Exactly this. If you have to signal out that y'all're xviii then you're probably non an adult yet. Technically yes but still a kid in my opinion.
OP, just don't be an ass near information technology. You're under their roof. Exist an adult, let them know how you feel if y'all take to. Going to church isn't going to kill you. Y'all don't have to convert. But y'all as well don't have to exist an ass.

I'm somewhat in the aforementioned position. My family (particularly my parents) are forcing me into faith. Information technology sucks. You'll go through this, though. Stay strong and just remember that what you believe in is the virtually important affair.

Yup worked I. My having absolutely nada to practice with anything church building or organized religion related as soon as I started college and I was out the door

Don't expect at it equally pushing religion on you. Y'all may exist 18, but y'all live with your parents. If this is that of import to you, motion out. If you tin can't, award your parents and become to church with them.

Say you believe in Satan! It volition flip them off
