[quote=Anonymous][quote]Taking a teenager you are watching for a few days to church with you is one thing. Making teenager actively participate In and talk about what they learned in a bible study that contradicts their own beliefs is clearly another. Then after OP said to said family that she was uncomfortable they took her again. I think you are thinking about this from an adult perspective. As an adult if I feel uncomfortable in a situation like that I can simply leave without any real problems. In this particular situation I can see how that would be difficult for the OP-because causing too much problem would have more than likely made the subsequent time with the family extremely awkward. Someone mentioned waiting outside. Well let's talk about that. What if the family got offended and acted rudely to her for the rest of the time? Maybe you should remember what it's like to be a teenager and look at the situation through those eyes. How is it ok that the host family gets to push all their beliefs on the OP but then when she stated she was uncomfortable her beliefs don't matter just because she is staying with them? No, everyone doesn't have the same beliefs-true and both parties should have been respected.

You might be the only person with competent reading comprehension and a working brain in this discussion. I can't believe it took 7 pages for someone to explain why the OP's situation was legitimately uncomfortable.[/quote]
