Some of your answers shock me. I am NOT trying to make myself look better than everyone else and am NOT judging anyone.
And Please don't get on a christian question if you are not a christian

Stay in your Bible. Pray without ceasing. The Bible says that we are to walk in the Spirit so we do not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Just try to look at school as your mission field. I say stay in your Bible because , too often we try to live on what we've read in the past. It doesn't work well like that. That's why the Bible tells us to renew our minds, daily. Maybe you could get up 20 min. early so that you can spend time with the Lord each day before you go to school. If you stay close to the Lord, He draws near, and resist the devil, he flees. If you do these simple things you will be fine. God bless!!

Do you have any way to attend a Christian School?
If not, all I can say is keep your chin up. There are lost kids in your school that you can reach for the Lord. Your school is your mission field. Keep your testimony clean, it is what all of your peers will look at in deciding if what you've got is real.
Have you ever tried to get your parents to go to Church with you? If not, try and get them to go, and pray for them. Witness to them also when you get the chance. I will pray for you and your parents.
God Bless!

Quit judging your parents and the people at your school and follow the bible: Matt. 7:1
Make sure you yourself know what Jesus wants from you (to love others) and that you're filled with the Holy Spirit (prayer) and there will be no problems.
I wouldn't be so presumptuous to say I was a "sanctified Christian" but I am a Christian, and that's my advice.

Pray without ceasing! (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Your parents will come to know the Lord, it's a promise. Joshua said, "As for me and my house we shall serve the Lord." My entire family now serves the Lord, (all 11 of us! my parents, brother, sister, sister-in-law, nieces and nephews etc..lol) God will bring your entire family but you have to stand on His word and believe that He will do it in His time. About school, just make sure to stay connected to God. It will be difficult but pray that the Lord bring someone in your school that will be on the same page in life as you to help encourage you and correct you when necessary. I've learned in my walk to trust God and not lean on my own understanding. It's His grace and mercy that will help you through this and know that He will provide your strength. God bless! :)

Look up Campus Crusade at the school you will be studying at. As for your parents love them and give then respect and honor. Remember you need to Love the Lord first, best, and always as you deal with family and with the world... Jim

Remain strong, and don't allow what's going on around you to pull you away from the Lord. Just let your "light" shine in the places where you go, and the rest will take care of itself.
also, look for Christian campus groups to join. (God always has more people in a situation than they know!)

they are probably more christian than you. you need to honor them not put them down to others Your parents are fine you are the one that needs help. Talk to them before asking for advise here from people you dont know and people that dont care about you. Your parents didnt choose you they got you by chance and have raised you the best that they can so dont go putting them down because you think you are on a higher plain. You could lose the best people in your life with your attitude.

Pray every day, put on the whole armor of God, seek Christian fellowship, even in school (you can eat lunch with them and encourage each other), read the Bible every day, and do what you can to go to a good Bible-based church.

Be a light. (Matthew 5:14). you are in that household to bring them out. Look at this as your personal assignment from the Lord. Your parents will be saved because of your conduct. They need to see you "walking it out". you don't need to preach to them or drag them to chruch. they will see the change in you. Pray for them unceasingly but silently.
If you have any big church events, invite them then. Don't push Jesus on them.

"For the true, sanctified christians..."
Were you expecting answers to this one? B/c everyone seems to have their own definition of who "fits" in that category.
Advise, from a regular PERSON:
Study hard, make friends, don't hate others for what they believe, give your parents a break, get off your high horse, and enjoy life.
