I'm a teenager who was raised Catholic but now I'm like agnostic or atheist or something.
I don't really believe there was a guy named jesus who died for everyone's sins. i really do not believe that. so how can i call myself a christian?
i do not agree with the christian ideals on premarital sex. i lust all the time- so i don't want a religion that prevents lusting.
i also masturbate. i'm not going to stop it for some higher power that isn't even real.
what should i do? i don't believe anything.
i don't want to be a Christian. I never really was one in the first place. (link)

if your mind is telling you one thing and your heart another, follow your heart
you might think that hey, i've been doing this religious thing all my life but i want to stop. but that's bad...
and then your heart might be telling you that you are not what you've been acting all your life
go with your heart
give it a try and if you like the fact that your agnostic or atheist, then keep it that way
but before you give a final decision, i suggest you do research on agonsticism and atheism because they might seem similar but they can be very different
personally, i'm an atheist and sometimes i might feel like i should be religious but i know that deep down, it's not right for me
i stick up in what i believe, i respect what others believe, and i never EVER push my beliefs onto others
so think through this and do your research, you'll be glad you did :D

I feel really awkward when people ask me about my religion and stuff because i'm agnostic and don't think there is a way to prove if god is real or not. I really don't want to tell my friends that because most of them are really religious and i'm scared they wouldn't like me if I did. Why do people think it's such a big deal if you don't believe in god? I don't know if I should tell them or not. (link)

i honestly don't feel that your friends are true to you if they tell you anything besides that they don't mind what you believe or what you practice or what your opinions are. you are entitled to be who you are and who you want to be and no one has the right to tell you otherwise. there's obviously going to be people that are gonna wanna bring you down because they truly feel that you are wrong. but those people are the ones that might have their own issues they want to take out on others.
so personally, if your friend are really friends, they shouldn't care
you might have different opinions, but so what? everyone is different. you shouldn't be treated differently based on who you are and what you believe.

I love my schedule this year, but my english class is just horrible. The teacher only gave an A to one person last year, and it was a 90%. All of my friends have said she's extremely hard, and she even told us today that she is tough. This isn't an AP or honors class either. There are 3 other english classes that I could be in. I might fill out a schedule-change form to get a different teacher. If they don't let me change teachers, what do I do?? (link)

ironically, i'm having the same exact problem. i don't know what to do either. my english teacher is an old black lady (not to be racist). and she only likes a select group of people out of my class. today she accused me of cheating because i was flipping open the cover of my book that was on the floor with my foot. and when i told her i didn't understand a story we read out of our literature book, she told me to stop trying to get into arguments with her. she's stupid and i really don't know what to do either :(

I want to success in school and try my hardest to get straight A's or at least 4 of them. I want to make my mom and dad proud of me and I'll feel really good in side.
My true question is, how do you increase your memory? I want to have a better memory so when I hear it, I learn it quicker.
OR
How do I remember things? I want to do really well in school. Should I read more books? Should I read at least 1 hour a day? Should I review old things over and over?
Teachers, parents, friends, you can help me!
Any advice will help a lot. (link)

i don't think it's a matter of increasing your memory. i have a similar problem in school. i've figured out that being able to memorize as good as some genius in your class won't make you do any better in school. what you have to do is study study study. do all of your work. school is your number 1 priority. don't worry about going online or on myspace or watching tv. after school everyday, i take a 30 minute break; just chill, eat something, yada yada. and then you hit the books. avoid everything that will make it harder for you to concentrate on what you're doing. another thing i've noticed is that if you play a sport during the year, you'll be focused more on school and the sport rather than everything else. so try playing a sport. that way, you'll only have time to worry about school and whatever you're playing. but basically, yeah, just hit the books, stay organized, stay on top of all your work. oh, and make your teachers like you :)
