Ahh, how the hell do I let my mom know my opinion on religion??? Ok, I was walking with her, we ran into my school principal, they're friends, my mom knows I'm an atheist, but she still told the principal that I WANTED TO GO TO CHURCH WITH HER! and she's like-- wtf??! I don't believe in that, and I don't care about anything else, but why doesn't she respect it???
UHGGG!

it was like this for me until I turned 18 unfortunately... its because most religions believe you'll go to hell/a place that's bad in general if you don't believe in their god/go to church. like my parents are Mormon and they believe that if I reject their gospel, ill go to the lowest place in heaven.
obviously I don't believe this, but most parents really do think they're doing the best thing for their kids. you just have to try to understand how important church is to your mom and try to find something enjoyable by going to church, because you'll probably have to keep going for a while. sorry I didn't check your profile so idk how old you are but like I said - she'll probably make you go until you're 18... sorry ;(
I don't feel uncomfortable going to church, what makes me uncomfortable is that it's with MY SCHOOL'S PRINCIPAL, it's like a duty, I don't see anything wrong with it, I've gone to churches throughout my childhood, and you're right, I'm only 13, I guess I'm not old enough for them to listen to me ;-;

If your parents care so much, then you should explain to them that no one converted you, this is just who you are. If they can't accept that, then they can't accept you, With some planning and multiple discussions, itโs possible to share your thoughts and feelings about religion. in a way thatโs respectful to your parents and their beliefs, while also taking care of yourself in the process. you might try having them reflect on why theyโre feeling or reacting in that way. It could be that they donโt agree with your beliefs or that theyโre hurt by your decision. Understanding why theyโre feeling or reacting in that way may help you dive a little deeper with them to find a common ground for moving forward. If that strategy doesnโt seem to be working, it might be best to agree to disagree. Sometimes itโs not possible to come to a mutually agreeable understanding, and thatโs okay. While itโs healthier to form and maintain relationships based on honesty and open communication, you could choose to take the positive aspects of the relationship you have with your parents for what they areโwithout trying to push your parents to accept or embrace your beliefs.
You are so right, thanks for the advice ๐
