I'v always gone to small private schools until HS. In my whole life I only met 1 non-christian (a jew) who was a teacher. I swiched to a public school for better class options. Out of all the, like I dunno, more than 1.5 thousand people there I feel like I'm the only one who's religious. I only know 3 christians and 2 of them went to my old school and I feel like I'm the only one who cares more about pleasing God and Jesus than fitting in.

I'm a christian too and I'll say the following : trust me you are not the only christian the other ones are too coward to show they are ,because you see, when you are christian it means you have a commitment with God , and if you say you are ,people will start expecting you to act like a christian , all eyes will be on you . maybe you don't notice but they are .and that commitment of having to do things right because of your faith is what the others are trying to avoid ,that why they stay secret . i reccomend you show them how to do things , preach in your school and live the adventure that is serving Jesuschrist and God will bless you in a very special way ans maybe you'll be of inspiration for other people to live their faith .you could start doing meetings at lunch to pray and read the bible .

My public high school only had a handful of people who were obvious about being Christian. Only one or two actually 'acted' like one. Everyone else just kept quiet about religion so I have no idea what they believed. A few times I heard that someone sang in a church choir or went to bible study. Over the course of 12 years in public school, I found out one way or another that most of the kids considered themselves Christian but it wasn't ever a talked about thing.

Every thing is balanced out eventualy. Even though it may not seem that way. Every thing available in this life, is available in the next. I believe this is true based on life exp. I believe the more you indulge in this life. If youre humble and try to be a good person, you might be a Princes In the next. Had to make this short,but I would say enjoy your life, Im sure you know how to enjoy your life without being stupid like some college students.

God put you there to show an example in my opinion.
Try hard and do your best, high school will be over soon.
For every hardship you have, you store grace and treasure in heaven but who am I to speak, a poor smoking sinner who can't stop drinking and 35 year old college kid cause I cared more about fitting in than pleasing God and now I end up with addiction.
Keep going, and I will too, I am now in Bible College and it's still hard.
He will be with you. And we're not all perfect so learn forgiveness is still key, people want to be forgiven and loved no matter if they are samaritain, drunk, smokers, or labled bad kids.
God bless you.

You make it sound like people have only 2 choices - being Christian, or building their lives around shallow things like fitting in.
You can be non-Christian and have personal integrity. Look for those people in your high school and you will find friends, Christian or not.

maybe there are more but they are either not sincere as they suppose to be and thus ashamed of being called a christian.You know there are different people in this world, there are those who take things as they come because they were raised like that,or there are serious types that practice and study what's been tought to them by themselves.Mainly there are probably many different levels a Christian could be in,..i know because I went through most of them.
GOD Bless.

See if your student body can start a prayer group at your school. It is legal to have a student organized prayer group at a public school.

you probably feel that way because you are the only one. start inviting people to church and feeding them the gospel. God can make a difference in your school. Pray for the other students that their eyes would be open and also their ears to hear God's message. God bless.

You are in high school and many young adults dont want to admit they are religious at all, so dont feel that way I'm sure its others who are religious in your high school, but just afraid to admit they are religious.

Sorry to say, but that is just the way it is. Continue to be pleasing to God as He loves you. The world loves it's own, Christians love God.
