well i can relate, i used to go to church and now i dont, and in a way i wish i did, and in a way i wish i didnt. if the reason you dont want to go to church is because it's too early. then you should still go, ask your parents why you have to go to church. some churches have late services to make it more convenet for you. but if you just dont want to go tell them that tell them the reason and have reasons why you shouldnt go to back you up. it could work

hope i helped

Well your parents want whats best for you. And when you die God is going to judge you by your entire life and he's going to ask you ( if you dont go to church ) why didnt you go to glorify me? In the end your parents are doing the right thing by trying to make you get into church. Having God in your life is the best thing ever. You always have somebody to talk to and "Jesus Died for you, cant you live for him?" And what is the reason you dont want to go to church? Honestly think about your reason for not going to church. Is it because you dont feel comfortable? Or are you busy? And im not trying to make you mad but im telling you that if you know that when you die your going to heaven its the best feeling ever!!!! Write Back if you have a question or comment! GOD LOVES YOU!

I think that you should stand up and tell them how you feel.. You know, some times when you tell them how you feel it doesn't work.. I learned that. Don't yell at them, cause that doesn't get you any where. I think you should sit down and tell them you don't want to go to church, because you don't like it. But some times, you can be too young, and you still have to listen to what they say. Now if your older than 16, and they are still making you go, then that could be an issue, but if your still young.. and they are making you do this, than your gonna have to suck it up! Because, there is nothing you can say or do when your only 13 lol.. Ya know?

You can't really get out of something like that. But if your parents want you to go to church, I'd just humor them and go along, but not really pray or pay much attention to the sermons. When parents try to make kids go to church, basically they just want God to touch their lives, and parents can only control that to a certain limit. They can make kids go to church, but really its you who decides whether you want God to touch your life or not, and if you don't want to, then you don't have to.

unless you hate god with a passion or something, i dont see anything wrong with church! just go, you learn a lot of important things. and if you dont go, your parents will get mad! so do what your heart, deep down, knows what is right to do!

well no matter what you do someone is gonna get mad. but if you want my opion you should do what you think is best. now i dont find anything wrong with church. but i dont think it's your parents choice to tell you what to do and where to go. but im just saying your parents may get mad and you may get grounded

Well What I would do is tell your parents your feelings... tell them how you feel, why you feel that way, and how strongly you feel about it. I'm sure if they know how you feel they will understand.

Hope I heleped! Good luck!

sunnyville answered Wednesday August 17 2005, 8:22 pm:
What you do is simply tell them you don't want to go and that they shouldn't force you to do something you don't want to do.Tell them that if they care about you forcing is not the way to show it and how would they feel if they were forced.Ask them if they ever were forced to do something they don't want to do or go somewhere?If they say yes then tell them "just because they did that to you now you're going to do it to me that isn't fair and you should know better than that".If they say no,say"So if they didn't why are you doing it to me and that would be very unfair because you were treated like an adult not like a child which is what you're doing now and I wonder what your parents would say if they were here".Tell them what you want to do or go or get someone you can count on to convince them.

When it comes to church in particular, I'm afraid that parents can be really demanding - particularly if they're very religious.

Legally, they can make you do that sort of thing, and there isn't much you can do about it. It's not child abuse, after all. Well, assuming that they don't go to a child-abusing church. :D

I'm sorry, but if there's a solution to this one, I never found it. All you can do is wait until you're old enough to tell them that you don't want to go, or until you move into your own place.

You're not alone. There are a LOT of us who suffered through years of church, until we were able to make our own decisions.

Good luck!
