my mom is forcing me to do communion
I know that being religious is good and stuff but my mom is forcing me to do communion. But she isnt forcing my older sister! It makes me so mad that i have no choice and she does. I am the middle child so i usually get treated like this. I want it to be my decision if i want to do communion or not becuz i dont like feeling that im forced to do something. Plus our family never goes to church so it doesnt make any sense. She is gonna sign me up next year to go ther on monday nights but im gonna be in ninth grade and it will probably interfere with school and i wont be able to get my hw done. Can someone please help me get my mom to her senses?
thnx i rate high!

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
maybe she is doing it because she wishes thats how she could be? the one thing to remeber is not to be negative about it because it could end up being fun and besides in 9th grade there isnt to much homework anyways its alot easier than the other hs grades. Besides maybe for some reason or another god wanted you to go to church and be clothes to him.. youll never find out until you give it a try

I don't know how it works in your church, but completing the classes didn't make it a requirement to actually receive communion. I do believe it should be your choice if you want to receive communion. However, I also think that learning stuff is fun.
You should talk to your mom about how this situation is likely to drive you away from your church, rather than bring you closer to it. No one likes to be forced to do anything, and forcing religion on someone is wrong.
Remember, you don't have to believe what they tell you - you can use the classes as a chance to practice critical thinking skills (see if they contradict themselves). You get to decide what you believe in, use this as an opportunity to learn more about your religion and see if it fits what you know in your head and feel in your heart.
No one should pressure you into receiving a sacrament. That's between you and your god.
Assuming it doesn't cost anything to go to the classes, I'd let your mom "talk you into" accepting going to the classes in return for the promise that if they do interfere with schoolwork you can either drop the whole program or just skip the nights that you have too much homework. You may make some interesting friends there, and hopefully you'll learn a lot about your families religion. :)

Talk to your Mom about how you are feeling. She might understand if you just tell her. I know it may be hard to be the middle child, but you have to remember, your Mom loves you, and she only wants the best for you. If you really don't want to do communion, think about it for a while. I mean, you get free bread!!!!LOL!!!!! I'm just kidding. I hope I helped!

well hey whats up jw are you catholic cause if you are it would be best to get your first communion and that it would bring God closer to you and your family and it might not bring so much crazinezz in your family...but also the point of going to church is to have God in your soul and to help you in life and its my opinion and your too but if you dont go to church i think it would be good if you go just ask your mom to take you to church it will help you feel better and your sister she might be older and hard to control so yeah its really hard cause sometimes pplz are hardheaded you know well hope you make the right choice and dont worry bout homework if you work on it early like right after school you will finish it well hope i helped!!!

Aren't you a little old to be making your first communion? I mean I made mine when I was like 7 or 8. There's something else (I can't think of what it's called) that you used to have to have to get married that you do at this age. And that you go to every Monday or Wednesday night. You don't need it any more to get married so I decided not to get it.
But anyway, all you can really do is talk to your mom. Tell her that even though you think religious is good that you don't want to be forced to believe or do stuff for any certain religion (if that made sense)
There's nothing you can do but talk to her and tell her how you feel. Sorry if you don't like my advice but it's the best I have for this question. Good luck. <3 Kate <3

Why don't you try telling your mom how you feel, or you could try explaining to her how much homework you get on Mondays, or try to finish your homework in class if your teacher lets you.
