Sweetie I feel so bad for you. Sure you are accountable to Christ for your actions but not every little mistake you make is a one way ticket to Hell. Look up I John 3:19. It talks about how we feel guilty in our hearts for our actions and condemn ourselves but He is greater than our hearts and knows everything. He knows the desire of your heart. Of all the commandments he gives the greatest is love. Focus on loving Him and growing in Him and the rest will follow in His Spirit. Remember Jesus lived by example. When He chose his disciples he did not go to the most holy or the most righteous. Most of His disciples didn't even come to Him but He found them and met them where they were. Some were fishing and almost all of them were sinning. He spent time with the imperfect ones, the outcasts and the ashamed. He did not hang out with the ones claiming to be perfect. Talk to your parents and be honest with them. They love you and will help you. I know sometimes it is hard to speak to them but they love you more than anyone else. Pray specifically for the changes you want in yourself. You will find that you are not alone.

I'm 13 and not perfect either. I lie constantly to get onto the computer where I write about fanfics and as most christians look down upon: magic. I don't get the big deal on that either.
I swear mostly under my breath and when i'm alone.
I'm also scared about that type of stuff.
I'm learning though that kids make mistakes and as long as you don't ditch the religion completely you should be fine. as long as you are rooted to your ethnics later on. as long as you know that... i think you should be fine. Just be yourself righ tnow and try to go to church sometimes. You'll hopefully grow into it when your older.
*To make you feel even better. I'm not saying to take this example: To relieve me of boredom I bring a notepad and start to draw and write. NOT GOOD.Someone else said read the bible. I agree with that!!! GO WITH THERE IDEA.

Its not the building that makes you a Christian. Continue to soul search and develop a personal relationaship w/Christ. Asking questions and doubting your faith is a GOOD THING. It will make your faith that much stronger. Read some books, pop into a church you don't go to and ask to speak to the pastor/priest. They will welcome your questions. Good Luck, and God Bless.

one way to beat bordom in church is to read the bible. you need to look into getting a bible that puts god's word into our words. it will help you understand everything more.
don't be scared of your sins, god forgives and thats the most important to remember. also try not to lie and cuss. when u want to say a cuss word just say crap or dang instead. its less severe.
good luck fellow kid!

Always look at the bright side of life.
You will not be 12 forever.
Good luck.

Are you sure you want to be a Christian?
There is no scientific proof that Hell exists; don't waste your time with religion if you are only doing it out of fear.
