I'm a christian too and I'll say the following : trust me you are not the only christian the other ones are too coward to show they are ,because you see, when you are christian it means you have a commitment with God , and if you say you are ,people will start expecting you to act like a christian , all eyes will be on you . maybe you don't notice but they are .and that commitment of having to do things right because of your faith is what the others are trying to avoid ,that why they stay secret . i reccomend you show them how to do things , preach in your school and live the adventure that is serving Jesuschrist and God will bless you in a very special way ans maybe you'll be of inspiration for other people to live their faith .you could start doing meetings at lunch to pray  and read the bible . \n                                                                              :) jen

I'm sure that the textbook you are using is faulty,especialy if they haven't discussed the many and varied tenents of your faith.It is your duty to attempt to correct this.Find some better books at your library, share them with your teachers,use every other opportunity  to write about your faith in class assignments(let me assure you that devout Christian students do this all the time, they call it witnessing)Stand up for your beliefs,it's your duty as a citizen.

well areufair,\n\nAs you name dictates it you can veiw it as trying to be fair to other Gods. What makes you think your God is right. Because your parents told you and it sounds nice. Ask someone with a different denomination. You would be surprised how similar their feelings are for their God or Gods. It really is amazing what your brain can make you feel. Make sure what you feel is not your brain. With somehthing like faith well... you not have much choice of questioning, right? \n\nI can also think of a reason to believe in the Christian God. Because is you don't you are condemed to Hell but if you believe you are saved and you go to Heaven. Sounds a lot like the 12 Virgins you get when you suicide yourself doesn't it? All and all, I guess its a matter of choice wether you believe in God or you dont?\n\nA little advice... Don't kill yourself and be a good person wether you believe in God or you don't, it is possible you know.

I  believe in God/Christ and I want more than anything to be a good Christian, but some people have me so p***ed off that I hate their guts, and feel like I want them dead.  I know this is wrong, but I can't stop that feeling,..and I've prayed about it too.

It is important to remember that love is not an emotion, but a commitment. Let's look at Jesus for a moment: When He died on the cross, His motivation was not based on His emotional connection to us. No, He made a commitment, which He intended to stick with until the bitter end, no matter how much it might cost Him. The emotions may have played a part, but it was not the driving force behind His decision. So, even though you may feel distant from Christ, the fact that you are still interested in Him is a good sign. Don't let this go! Make sure to read the Word everyday! This is very important, as without it, you will likely become bitter and resentful towards your friends, your family, and even God. The Word is food for your Spirit Man: without it, you will soon feel the consequences. Also: pray, pray, PRAY! Be completely honest with God. Tell Him how you are feeling. Tell Him that you feel distant. God loves it when we get personal with Him. If you do, I'm sure that your passion will begin to reignite, because it is a sign that you are drawing near to Him. You are making a conscious effort to get to know Him better, and He recognizes this. He will reward you for it. Also, I encourage you to get involved in church events. Communication with other Christians is crucial to your spiritual health, they will encourage and support you in your walk with Jesus (and if they do not, I suggest you find another church). You may wish to get an accountability partner. This person will phone or communicate with you on a regular basis to check on how you are doing in terms of your relationship with God. Pick someone within your church or (Christian!) group of friends that you know you can trust. I'm sure that every Christian has felt this way at some point in their walk with God, I know that I have. Know that you are not alone. Make sure not to base your relationship with God solely on the love you feel for Him. Make sure to serve Him no matter how you feel, and I can pretty much guarantee that you will feel that passion once again. If there is anything I can do to help, feel free to contact me! God bless, and remember, Jesus loves you no matter what!\n\nSomething that I am sure will reignite your passion is the movie called "The Passion of The Christ." It is very accurate in it's portrayal of Jesus and the suffering He went through; all for you!(you may wish to have a kleenex box close at hand, this movie is a real tear jerker).

Yeah, I went through that 6th-8th grade. It just feels like everyone hates you. You are an easy target. I had to change schools, my behavior and appearance to find my will to live, and friends. DON'T let others judge your self-worth. Who are they anyway? Everyone is equal.\n\nI heard that people who feel bad about themselves enjoy making other people feel low, so they can feel better about themselves. See how it works?\n\nIgnore them. Only God will love you unconditonally because he understands you inside and out. Draw close to him and ask for friends who will love you for you,

Interesting question. Well, first of all I'd like to say that I DO go to a catholic high school, but that doesn't mean I believe in my religion. What I mean is that not everyone has the same views. I also attend a FRENCH catholic school, so we only have about 200 students at our school (and share half a floor with a 3 stories english school...)\n\nCatholic school seem to have less bullying, or less severe cases at our school, so if you're worried about your child or for any other reason, a catholic school is for you (though I must admit I hate my religion class and risk falling asleep during our 'ceremonies').\n\nPublic schools have a lot more students, that's for sure, and because of that it also mean there are more trouble makers and the school can't take care of all of them. But, like others have pointed out, public schools does have more diversity, which may or may not be too good.\n\nI also think the teachers take better care and attention of the students since we aren't many in the school, but again my school is also french.\n\nSo, to make things short, if you want the 'cliche' high school life, go to a public school. If you just want to live a quiet life, pass your classes and not be bothered by anyone else, go to a catholic school.\n\nOh yeah, and you might need to get baptized for it. Yep.

Absolutely not!  You should feel lucky to have him.  If you want the relationship to grow then you always have that.  I too am a christian (getting baptized this Sunday!) but I believe what you have is far from wrong.  It seems that your feelings for him are deeper than sexual and that is something Christ cherished, LOVE.

Don't feel that way.\nGo to a Christian (not Catholic, they're different) church and ask for help from a pastor.  Pray.  Ask God for strength and help for fixing your home.\nIf you seek Him, He will come to you.

Yes I have felt empty inside and I sort of still do once in a while.  It's kinda weird because you keep asking yourself why do I feel this way?  I was valedictorian of my class and I always had a lot of friends around, but I still felt empty inside.  I would see all the couples around hugging and kissing and looking all happy and I would wonder why can't that happen to me?  It seemed like an acceptable guy would never like me. I concentrated on studying harder because I felt that was all I had.  I really wanted a boyfriend then I stopped thinking about it so much and I finally got one.  Hope you find who/what you are looking for! Good Luck!

I am a Christian too and I've noticed the same thing. I'm not sure why they do it but I try to spread God around and be real about my faith.

Sounds to me like you suffer from depression...you should talk with someone you trust..like a parent...older sibling..teacher if your in school...or a pastor..you need someone to show you the path to living a happy and fulfilled life...it goes by fast..enjoy every day!!!

First of all I would like to commend you for making the best decision of your life. I know that it appears to be a struggle letting go of the habits that you have developed in life, but I will assure you that it only feels like that because that is how the evil one would like you to feel, defeated. But you know as well as I do that there is only one source that is mightier than that evil liar, and that is Almighty God Himself.!!!  The fact that you want to be a Christian role model for your children will indeed cause the liar to squirm, it will reek havoc among its clique, causing it to throw temper tantrums and spreading a barage of lies and imaginations your way, the liar of lies will try and make you feel as if you are doing all this in vain. BUT-- NOT TO BE DISCOURAGED!!! Tada - Our Heavenly Father is watching and keeping His hand over you, you see there were some promises that were given to you when you accepted God's Son as your Savior. You were promised Eternal Salvation as long as you remained faithful and did not turn your back on Jesus, it sounds to me like you are doing all that you can to retain the relationship that you have with Jesus. Amen. Here are some scriptures that will surely help you as the liar comes to overwhelm you. Remember brother, as soon as it tries to decieve you, rebuke it with authority, the authority that God gave you!! You can stand up to that wiley thief, as long as you believe that you are a child of God, the brother of Jesus and the Prevailing Saint that God intended you to be. \nOur prayers will be with you brother, I know that you will dominate this challenge that has come your way, Have Faith, Trust and Believe!!\nFreedom from Sin - Ezekiel 36:25-26 - Romans 6:6-7 - 2 Corinthians 5:17 - \nRomans 6:14 - Colossians 2:6-7 - 1Corinthians 16:13 - Isaiah 40:29\nthese are just a few. God Bless you brother.

Hi, I'm 26 years old and currently in my freshman year of college. I definitely know how you feel; all throughout school I was not a very outgoing person. I usually kept to myself, at the same time I  tried to impress my peers. Now I realize how immature it was to act that way. You should never look down on yourself in any kind of way. It is important for everyone to feel they belong, and you seem to doubt yourself. The thing is, other people are just like you, they will not approach anyone and end up never making any friends. Be bold and walk up to the other guy like you and talk to them. They are just wanting someone to break the ice. My advice usually ends up being religious, but I do not feel like I should preach to you. One thing I will tell you is, turn to the Lord and he will never leave you. He will always be there giving you comfort, and the the great feeling that you belong. I never feel alone because I'm not. Just realize that people all throughout life will try to hurt you to make themselves feel better. You control your own life....make the best of it....live life to the fullest. Talking to an older person is great because they are wise and can give you some of the best suggestions. Hope this helps

This is one of the basic reasons why Christianity just doesn't feel right at all to me.  I don't need to stroke the ego of some jealous petty needy freak, I have better things to do with my time.

I've felt that way a lot, specially during middle school, and only sometimes on occasion now, (i'm in high school ;)\nbut the reason i don't feel that way as often as I did in Middle School, is b/c I had a Heart to Heart with my mom (she's the one I felt like i disappointed all the time), and we finally understood where each other came from, and now I can talk to her like she's my best friend, if I need to, but Hey I'm a teenage girl, we always have those yelling moments!! ;) It's part of growing up, but the best way to cure that feeling besides talking, is giving ur self a bit of self confidence, you might need to start thinking what's good enough for you, and if it is  then don't worry about what ur parents say.

Sometimes you can feel as if you are being cuddled or embraced by God.  Often it is when you are most low, and I think new Christians receive this more than Christians that have been around for a while.  It has the effect of strengthening and encouraging you,
