I am/was involved with my second year of confirmation class getting ready to make my confirmation this may. All of a sudden I felt like i couldn't do it anymore. That a part of me didn't want to do it anymore. I know the exact moment I felt it too. When I was told that I needed to stop caring about just myself and stop thinking about myelf when I needed to get picked up kind of far away from home to go to confirmation class. I just know that at that moment I felt like I didn't evn want to make my confirmation anymore and I don't want to go back to class. I feel so stupid to give up now but I don't know if I could truly go through with this and go into it without an open mind and an open heart.

Ah, welcome to being human. Could it have been doubt that entered your mind? It happens to ALL of us.
Remember this, no one is perfect. Not the pope, not my neighbor me or you.
And going to church or confirmation isn't about me or you - it's about God & Jesus and our need to learn what God wants for us. As vague as this might sound, put your faith, fears and trust with Jesus. That is what counts most.
Please send me a message if you'd like to speak further. I'm part of the Youth Ministries at my church.

Ask yourself if this is what you really believe in, or not.
When I went thru' confirmation I HATED IT!!!! I was bored to the point of pretending to be sick before and during a couple classes.
But, in the long run I'm glad I went through with it. Is there an adult you'd feel comfortable talking to about this in your Church?

Sometimes we have doubts. It doesn't mean you are a bad person, it only means you are human.
But sometimes we have to do what we don't like in order to get the grace and power of God in us.
Take Jesus for example, when he was he was about to die, he prayed to God that he should take the pains away from him (if its His will) but God didn't didn't take the pains away.
I think you should go ahead with your confirmation, it will give you alot of Graces.

I don't know what confirmation is but if I had some more details I could give you scriptures for or against it, that is if you care what God has to say about it.
God Bless

All you have to ask yourself is if you really believe what you're being taught.
If you do, go through with it. If you don't, don't go through with it. But don't base the decision on something that's not really relevant.

Maybe you should put off getting confiormed. You may not be mature enough.

It is up to you. I don't think that we can tell you how to decide. If you don't believe it, you should quit. If you do, you should continue.
