I am a young atheist borned to a christian family. My parents have looked down upon me all of my life. They have wasted their time and money investing in my older siblings and everything has backfire. First, my two older sisters moved out and got engaged to wrong financees and now they are doing all sort of things. Unfournately, my brother ahead of me became what seems to be permanent disable (lost both kidneys) so hes pretty much screwed. Me meanwhile have kept my head up, pay attention in school while my parents ingnored me. I have been recommended (1 of 3 in my class) to take courses at major universities while still in high school to get credits and all of a sudden my parents are starting to act like they actually care about me but I think its only because their investement fail. My mother is forcing me to join all sort of activities and get a job but all thats going to do is distract me from school plus it will take up my studying time....

I'm a Christian and both my parents are Christians. They don't want me to get a job, because they think it will distract me from my studies. I think your parents don't have any experience on this matter, that's why, they are forcing you to get a job. My mom told me from her experience that her grades weren't as high at that university , when she was working at the same time. She quit her job and now she's a pharmacy. You will earn more money and be successful, if you finish your course first before you get a job. The best way to approach your parents is to talk to them gently. Tell them how important your study time is in a softly manner. If your folks respond with harsh words, continue to talk gently. Say that you are determine to do your best at college and that all you want from them is a loving, supporting family. Use King James Bible, and show them 2 Timothy 2:15 STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD. Christians don't really argue with the Bible, because we believe that what the Word say is true. Studying is important to all Christians who truly believe and love God. Swearing is wrong. but your parents won't change, if they never have a conviction that it is wrong. Maybe your parents don't read the Bible everyday nor go to church every service. Many people claim to be Christians but by name only. I'm starting to think that perhaps your family is not Christian at all or they are just simply backsliding. I'll pray for your home to have a loving spirit.
Pls. don't give up on your family.

Congradulations to you! I too was "advanced" in high school, and attended college when I was 16yo. Its a great experience.
Let your mother work her mojo all she wants. You may be young, but you are well educated enough to know that hexes, curses and swears arent worth crap - unless YOU believe that they will affect you...
the mind is powerful - if she hexes you and YOU BELIEVE that the hexes are real, then your own subconcious will force a self fulfilling prophecy, and your life will become what you allow it to. Remember that.
You know you better than your mother does. You are well aware that al these extra activities will distract you from your studies. You have a job right now - as a student. Although, I too worked when I was 16yo... so it can be done. Just dont let it consume you (making easy cash has a way of doing that to kids...makes you want to stop going to school and just make more cash so you can buy more stuff.) You need to do what is most important for YOU, not mom. This is your life - and she will have to accept that.
I wish you well. You will go far in life, as you have a head start!

Yeah maximum Christians opt for the help of this level. once you realize your mothers and fathers weren't finished idiots and they were giving it to you instantly, you receives again on your senses. As I did and as countless different Christians did who're status the position you're right now. even if, at this level you gained't believe me. would God be with you. you're very very fortunate to have the mothers and fathers that you've. Honey, i do no longer care what you're and neither does all and sundry else. it truly is what your going to make certain now that your interior the genuine international. i'm previous sufficient to be your dad. I retract no longer some thing from my truth. Like I suggested i do not care the way you experience. Your a baby and obviously unable to make judgements at this element on your existence. So once you land up pregnant and residing in a trailer it is going to be your mothers and fathers who help you. Your liberal Atheist associates should not be lifting a finger. you could assume that and its no better than you deserve.

If you're 15, then school is your job.
I had a grueling job for one year of high school, and that was the year I had the most trouble (nearly getting less than an A in one course, even). That was no coincidence.
Even in college, you're better off getting loans to pay for things and then concentrating on your studies. You have the next thirty to forty years after that to work, so you'll have plenty of time to hate your job later on in life.

whats wrong with getting a job? you think collage is going to be cheap? getting a job doesnt necessarily mean your grades will drop. under law your job does have to give time for school and if they arent you can quit. you dont have to do the activities but getting a job is a smart thing to do at your age. im 17 and have been working since i was 14 and ive kept my grades up. get an easy job that has good hours after school but gives you a few hours for school work. i think your making to much of a big deal out of getting a job.

What!? She's going to "swear you?" What in heck does that even mean? Look, I'm a Christian, and honestly, I don't even know what she is talking about. In any case, it sounds like your parents kind of suck. Sorry to hear about that. Try not to hold it against ALL Christians, because most of us are not like this. Hang in there, do the best you can at school, and when you are an adult you will not have to put up with this crap. Good luck!

There are other words you can use in everyday conversation. Not swearing forces you to learn how to express yourself more eloquently while encouraging you to enlarge your vocabulary.
That being said, I see nothing wrong with swearing. It is just slang.
Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

Not legit in the slightest - complete and utter bullsh!t - she can swear all she likes
and your mother should be ashamed - her only concern should be that you are happy and healthy
