ok. from what you've said when you answer questions, i take it that you are a Christian and a homeschooler - a male homeschooler. lol
anyway, i am homeschooled, 13/f as if it matters. dont really care much for the dating scheme; the whole "i like you, you like me, lets make out!" thing. never had a boyfriend, dont want one right now either. but thats beside the point.
i am also a Christian, which kinda makes me biased in two ways (homeschool and Christian) but i go to an awful church! they are hypocrites, baptists - yes. i wouldnt even consider going to a different group! but all of the people there are mean to me. i am a nice person, i am shy in person, but they just dont seem to like homeschoolers! i go to a fairly large church; about 700 people each Sunday morning. and out of that group, there are 10 homeschooled kids. me and my siblings make three of them, and out of the whole church, there is one guy (guy - yes male) that will talk to me; and *gasp* hes homeschooled! but the church seperates us girl and guys in different classes, and both of us sit near our parents versus sitting with the whole youth group. (too cliquish) i have been going to this church for 4 years, and its gotten steadily worse. i am always left out, sitting alone and stuff. i really dont want to be friends with those people becuase they are just kinda gross, mean, rude, and not a good influence. but, i hate sitting alone, being left out. we just got a new youth pastor, and i have confronted him about this too; but nothing is happening. what can i do? i have had offers to have friends pick me up, but my mom is not happy about that. and i am really kinda shy about doing things like that. you know? the whole meeting new people; doing new things. its kinda nerve racking.
the people at my church are also less mature than me, and i want to be serious. to learn things, not play around and talk about boys! i dont want people talking about me, so i try my best not to talk about people. even guys. (well, especially guys) i am also a little more advanced in my studies. the teacher is way hypocritical, and i think that she tries to make me mad. she has dissed my passions in front of me, and dissed homeschoolers! in front of me! and didnt think twice! to me it seemed that she was trying to make me mad!
any advice?!
It sounds like this church is hostile against homeschoolers. You shouldn't be miserable going to church. I think you should visit a new church, take up your friends offer to pick you up or go to a church where you are not the minority; even if it means meeting new people. I know this is easy for me to say, but I think it will help you to visit another church.
