What were your parents thinking! What does an SDA have in common with a Baptist? You can say that at least you know what God says about the Seventh day, and when they say that they do not know or can not know which day is the Seventh you can say, but I bet you know which day is the first. You can also quote Scripture to them. Gen 2:1-3, Isa 56:2; Mark 2:27,28; Rev 12:14; 14:17. There are many from which to choose from.
Do you have e-Sword on your computer? It is free. Just go to e-Sword.net and down load it, and get all of the free stuff that goes with it too. This is an invaluable tool.
I wish you Gods speed, sister. Hold fast your faith, and in the end you will be much stronger for it. I am sure that God did not put you in that situation for you to fail, He must have known that you could take it, and that it would build up your faith. Study His word for your self! Never take anyones word on anything about the Bible, that you do not study for your self! Use the Strong's notations, they really help a lot.

Oh man, I was in your place. Not over religion though. They got to the point where they were physically hurting me and the teachers did nothing.
I have to say that the only way it was solved was that I moved to a different city.
I'm not sure what to tell you but I do want to ask why you told them your religion. You need to learn that there are some things people just don't need to know. That's one of them.
I hope you figure it out. I suggest talking to your parents and seeing if that gets any results.

Really your parents should go the administration, Since I assume they are paying for the "private Baptist school". They should remind the school you deserve a safe learning experience regardless of what u believe otherwise they should place u else where..like a charter school or even Catholic school (as much as I hate to say it)
PS good luck.. I'm sure you are a good student and a good person

This has worked for many people in the past. I do not claim it will work for you, however, its worth a try.
As you pass through this crowd of classmates at lunch time, tilt your head high into the air, pointing your nose at the sky. Then when you are in the midst of them, raise your right hand to your face and pinch your nose till you have passed by them all. Stop and turn around while lowering your head, release your nose, and stare at each and every one of them.
I don't recommend doing this alone. Have a teacher nearby for your own safety.

Put your trust in God. Ask Him to help you. Ask that His will be done in regard to your life and this problem in your school. Then hang in there and be faithful to Him and all will work for the best. I am a Seventy-day Adventist as well. Society does persecute us in many ways. What you have to put with is common. Always stand up for the truth. Defend your beliefs with Bible texts.

Unfortunetley in a private school they have the right to think how they want and freedom of speech over their religions views.
If you dont want to get picked on just keep your head down and dont mention the 7th day adventist thing, you'll grow out of caring what people think baptist are #1 in thinking if your not one of them your going to hell.
Just be secure in who you are and your beliefs and soon the whole thing will blow over and be forgotten about.

just act like it doesn't bother you. be a snob...act like they aren't good enough for you and ignore them. If you eat in the cafeteria, take a magazine in with you, walk in, sit down somewhere and eat your lunch while reading. Don't even make eye contact with anyone. Go about your own business like no one else is there. Even wear headphones and listen to an ipod or disc man. Be the best that you can, if someone says something just respond politely with close-ended answers. Do the best you can, just focus on your classes...and get the best grades you can.

If i was you i would hand this over to God, By hand it over to God i mean pray about it lay it at the foot of the Cross.and believe that your situation will change
You know that its amazing what can happened when you hand over your troubles to the Lord, For God can make the impossible happen
May the Spirit of Jesus touch you and your families hearts this Christmas and fill you with Peace, Joy and Love not just for now but for many years to come,
May he bless you all

punch them in the mouth. Sorry you are an adventist and they do try to live by the rules and the bible does say an eye for an eye. So you had better follow them rules.

Its not very tolerant for them to make fun of you!! Just keep on believing in what you believe in and stay strong. Pray to your God for help if it makes you stronger. Good luck.
PS. There is always the option of moving to another school if you really cant handle it. :)
