okay well in my school there are only about 90 people from kindergarden to grade 12, meaning that we are all fairly good friends, but in my class, im the only person without a religion. See everyone else is christian or catholic, even my family is christian, but i never use to mind. before no one really knew, so i was never bugged about it, but when me and my best friend were chatting, she knew i had no religion, so whe always tells me random things from the bibble that i would find kind of funny, because shes very understanding, but anyways one of the kids in my class heard, and eventually everyone knew. thats when things started to get really annoying. Everyone decided to confront me one day, and try to convert me. they were asking all kinds of questions. first they asked me why i dont believe in god, and i flat out told them he cant exist, i refuse to believe in some "higher power" that hurts people because he "loves us". and of course they ask stupid things like "do you believe in heaven" and stuff like that, then they started saything things like "your going to go to hell" and "stay away from her, shes a witch!" or even "burn in hell witch!" (then they flick "holy water" at me.
yes ive been accused of whichcraft because i refuse to believe in something that i dont think is real. im happy being "dwysh" (its something i mae up which basically stands for being yourself and not letting anyone control you besides your parent's nudges onto the write path)
ive tried to tell them that there is nothing wrong with being religionless, and ive also tried telling my parents, who were no help, and my teachers, who just made things worse. the only person who HASN"T made me mad yet is my best friend, but im starting to feel bad because people are telling her that im evil and she should stay away from me if she doesn't want to go to hell too.
HELP!!!!!!! i dont know what to do, even the tiniest peice of advice would be great

I'm new to this guild and after reading your post I wondered why hasn't anyone replied to it. I myself have the same belief but I've only told specific friends that keep to themselves and they responded with the question why don't I believe in this "god". I can't actually tell you how to deal with it but I'm usually good with advise.
My advise would be to tell them that they shouldn't shun or disown you because you have revealed your disbelief because if you didn't tell anyone then they would treat you the same.
Now even though I don't believe in "god" I still attend church regularly evil and I listen to what they say even though I know what there saying isn't true. My point is that your friends family and fellow student shouldn't treat you the way they do because they know that the all mighty being himself that they believe in would treat someone differently based on there belief but instead bare with them on this belief and treat them as they would anyone else because how knows, that really nice guy/girl at the grocery store or whatever might not believe in "god" either but would still treat everyone as a "god" believing person would

I'm sorry, it's been forever since this was amde
but I still wish to offer my help =3
I'm not gonna say that's my belief, 'cause it's not. I'm not really even Christian (I'll switch religions when 'Santa' stops giving me pressies on the Pagan Sun God's holiday and when the Easter bunny doesn't make me baskets )
If anything, I'm polytheistic. xD (polytheistic means you believe in multiple gods)
'cause there's no way Earth was made in 7 days by one being.
he had to have had help. D=
But anyway.
that's really screwed up how they're treating you. No one deserves that, and they're acting like they're from the middle ages. (the witch comments)
Simply tell them what we were all told as kids, "treat others the way you want to be treated"
If Heaven and hell do in truth exist, I don't see how God could ever allow such people into his kingdom of awesomness on clouds.
(though honestly, look at history. You can buy your way into heaven thanks to the Catholic Church or by begging god for forgiveness once you die, so I think he'd have to...)

Wow. The people at your school are hypocrites.
I'm very open minded. I believe there is something...Sorta...XD It's really hard to explain.
But I've done research on tons of religions. Well If these kids at your school were really christian and really wanted to be "Children of God" they would accept you for who you are and love you anyways. Not be jerks and tell you to burn in hell.
Tell them that! biggrin Hahah. Well If you think it might help. I know I would, but then again I tend to voice my opinion of everything.
I hope things are getting better! :3

I HATE IT HERE AND I NEED OUT!!! crying Believe it or not there is something you can do about it. You can go to a case worker and explain that because of them forcing you to do something that should be a choice to do... that you have become mentally unstable in the house hold and you realize that if you do not get out of this situation that you may not be able to cope properly. Also... if they are the branch of "witnesses" that do not believe in medical care they could also be potentially putting your life in danger. And you could even say that you believe that the religion is borderline cult if not a cult exactly. (please make sure you have info and situations to back your story other wise when/if an investigations happens... it could blow up in your face) Please bear in mind that you will be subjected to tests to see if what you are saying is true. I recommend that you talk with your dad first and get him in on what is going on. But one of the main things to remember here is that you must clearly convey that you feel your life may potentially be in danger by staying in that situation. either by suicide or not receiving the proper medical care should a situation arise.

Just to let you know... I don't think running away is the right way to go about things. See if you can get moved in with your Dad first. Then when you turn 18 if you still want to go with your friends to Oregon... tell your dad that you love him and that you have things you need to do... that you have to live your life the way you feel you should... then go with his support. As for writing songs... you can always tell your mom "It's either I write about the things in my songs or I do the things in my songs... it's your choice" Things like that usually get parents attention and they tend to leave you alone about creative expressions when you put it to them that way.
