It's not fare but you will just have to stop fighting and go until your 16 and you don't have to.

My question to you is this, why do you resist attending church? If it's boring, ask your parents about attending a different church. Maybe there's a middle ground where you can all worship. Maybe you can find a church with a good youth program. Or, is the problem more along the lines of fear of attending church. Are you worried that God doesn't or couldn't love you? If this is the case, try going to church and see what His answer really is. (Actually, I'll cheat for you, He does love you. Just as you are. He would like you to check in every once in a while, though.) Take it easy, take a big breath. Use church as a time to connect with your parents rather than as a tug of war. You're not going to church to please your parents. You go to please God. Take it as the hour or so that you get to work on just yourself if you have to. Best of luck.

Why do you fight about it? Why do you not like to go? I think a parent is not always right, but they do the best they can and they encourage their children to do what they feel is best for them. It is not easy being a parent. There is scientific evidience that kids who go to church are less likely to be involved in criminal activity. Yes, I do think it is fair for your parents to ask you to go to church if they go themselves. Why would you not want to be accomodating for a couple of hours out of the week? Look at all the things your parents do for you. Can't you be agreeable for at least those 2 hours? When you are an adult you can make your own choice then.

Hopefully your parents have your well being in mind but if they have to force you you should try to talk about it. Fighting rarely solves anything, try to discuss it and consider each other's point of view reasonably. For example if they want you to go because they are afraid of what people might say if you don't that probably isn't a good enough reason on their part but if your reason for not wanting to go is so you can sleep in that isn't good enough either.

I agree with your parents. With my kids they didn't get as much out of church until they started doing things with the youth and now they always want to go. I know it can get boring for kids in Worship Service. But if you really try to listen, you will get something out of it . My kids take notes so they won't get bored and that makes them be able to hear whats said. (No, I don't make them take notes,they just do on their own)
I was made to when I was a kid, and I'd get so mad. But now I see why the made me. It influenced me later in life.

Sometimes parents "force" us to do things because they know that it is what's best. My mom used to "force" me to eat good foods, go to bed at a decent hour, bathe, and do my school work. Not because she got some kind of joy from being on a power trip but because she knew these things were good for me.

You are 11! You are the child, they are the parents hon. I checked your posts and you seem to think they love you. Well miss, looking after your spirituality is looking after you.
Go, listen because you might learn something. Resist and you will learn nothing other than what it means to be disciplined.
Good luck.
PS. Learn how to use words not 2, b, etc.

well, u should go to church, but no i dont think it's fair but, your mom is your parent, and u got to do as they say, but no it's not fair to be forced, God says he wants whtever you do for him to be done willingly, not forcefully. It's not fair, but as long as u are under ur mom's roof, u gon' have to do wat she says. Just liste to her, and dont fight her on it, then you wont have fights with your mom on sudnays just go along with it, who knows maybe once she sees you are cooperative she'll cut u guys a break, best of luck!!!

Give up the fight. When you reach sixteen they are going to let yo make your own decision and by then you may even enjoy it and continue going.

Get over "Whiny Baby". It's part of growing up. Many of us went through it also. Till you pay your own bills, you're basically a "moocher", living off your parents. Their house, their rules...
