Okay so my family is Jewish-Orthodox, and i absolutely HATE it. They make me wear skirts to school, even though i go to a public high school, so im the ONLY 1 wearing skirts. i feel very akward being the only 1. but thats not it. on rosh hashana (the jewish new year) i got in trouble for picking up my cell phone. u no and i dont even believe 1/2 the stuff, like not using a computer, or watching tv, or using an ipod on shabbat (saturday). u wanna show me where it prohibits usage of the above stated in the bible? yah i didnt think so. the rabbis decided this. i missed the homecoming dance cuz "shabbat" wasnt over when it started and my parents refused to let me go. its a load of crap if u ask me. like, ill be 15 in less than a month (!!!) so am i wrong thinking i have the right to make my own decision when it comes to religion? its my life!! not my parents. its a decision that i myself need to make. its also creating fights btwn me and my mom, & as always my dad backs my mom
