[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"But I always felt like I gave away my teenage years to this church that had horrible leadership and worst of all we’re hypocrites."

[b]What does this mean?  Did you go to school at this church or something?  Did it occupy everything in your life? [/b] What exactly would you have rather been doing as a teen other than being a "perfect Christian girl?"  Sex, drugs, rock and roll?

Sorry you had an unpleasant church experience, but you sound kind of dramatic.   Either go to church or don't go, people are always going to have an opinion on your choices and if you decide to worry about their opinion you have a long, hard road ahead of you.

I go to church and wear a cross, do you think people don't have judgments about that?  They definitely do and they feel free to share them with me, and that's ok.  People are allowed to have an opinion and I am allowed to ignore that opinion.  Even my mother does not like my choices even though I "stayed" in the church, it is not in her preferred way.  Guess what, that is HER problem, not mine.[/quote]

Don't be dense. OP clearly meant that she felt pressured by her family to attend. In addition to being a financially dependent minor, she didn't feel as though she could say no to her parents without facing heavy criticism or rejection. In super religious families, the church is also the community. She probably wasn't allowed to have much of a social life outside of church events and functions. [/quote]
