I was a christian since I can ever remember. I went to church, youthgroup, sunday school, bible schools, workcamp. I was baptized. I had numerous bibles and was high on the love of christ. When i got to highschool I was ridiculed for my beliefs and starting slipping away. I started drinking alcohol, smoking ciggarettes, and smoking weed. I have been videotaped doing things with guys when I wasnt even conscious anything was going on. I have considered suicide, cut myself, and let myself be used by guys over an over. I couldn't be farther from my family. Im at a christian collegee now and I hate it. So many rules to follow and I feel like Im being shoved back into my beliefs. I feel like I need God but I still want the guys back home to like me, and that means Id have to have sex with them. And my friends too hanging out with them involves partying and going crazy. Im one of those people who thinks they can wait to rededicate their lives to christ, but how long am I going to wait. I want to have fun while I still can yet be religious? I dunno. I hate life and Im failing at everything. I dont understand why I was born.

This is why I don't like religion. It messes with people's heads.

Yes, you can have fun and believe in christ. Just find a fucking new crowd that doesn't make you be one or the other.

If you feel like you have do have sex with guys for them to like you then you arent looking at the right guys......A guy thats gonna repect you will like you for you not what he can get from you......If you want to get back into your religion I would suggest taking a long hard look at how you view life.....you said you want to wait to rededicate your life to God....well guess what hunny God isnt going to wait forever for you to make a decision to come back to him......you dont want to be left behind
I suggest doing a lot of praying and soul searching and maybe talking to a religous person you truely trust

im in the same situation. i don't like that i was told to "turn the other cheek" in the face of situations, it really fucks with you self confidence. think of it like this: religion is basically giant arrows that guide you, and you can choose to follow them.

Ok just because you are or were a religious person doesn't mean that you can't have fun or live life. You let the pressure that your peers were putting on you get to you for the worst. You should really consider letting GOD back into your life and mend the broken bounds with your family because that just may be the best thing for you.

no offence but religion is bullshit
the bible was written by a group of men who wrote down made up stories about things they thought should not be permitted
but anyways thats just my opinion

religion is about morals
what's better?
losing a guy that wants to use you for sex
or
losing your faith, your morality, your dignity?

you decide.

A wise man once said to me "Do not live by the ways of the world, but by the ways of God.  For you will not find redemption in wordly ways, only retribution.  Nor will you find salvation, only condemnation. For the ways of the world are not of the rightous, but of the wicked." The  reason why you were ridiculed for your beliefs was because you were a threat to the darkness, you were becoming an authority of God. But you fell into one of the many snares satan puts out for those who have a great destiny. Remember that Lucifer only has three things on his mind, "to kill, steal, and destroy." You may have fallen but there is still hope for you. Ask God for help, Knock and he will answer. Surround yourself with friends who wish not to harm you but support and nurture you. Friends who wish for you to succeed not to fail.

You don't have to be religious to have friends that respect you. I don't follow a religion and I'm the happiest person I know because I take chances,have friends and live my life to its fullest extent. That doesn't mean drinking, smoking weed and taking drugs. It just means I have fun. So you could actually choose:
Guys you need to have sex with before they like you.
Religion.
Neither.

I understand what you're going through. I'm a former Christian myself and went through things very similar to what you're going through now. Although rather than turn towards my faith, I turned away. I decided I'd rather walk my own path than the one that was laid out for me. I chose to live by my own strength instead of relying on others for support.

You don't need God to live your life to it's fullest. You're quite capable of being the person you want to be. It's obvious that you don't like being used by boys, so you have an inkling of self respect left. You should decide for ourself what you want, what you want to be seen as and who you want to be. And most importantly you must stick to your decision. No matter what you must stick to your guns and never allow someone to tell you who or what you ought to be. Only you can make that choice, are you strong enough to do that?

Frankly, this has less to do with God and more to do with the fact that your "friends" back home seem to only like you when you behave in the way they want you to behave.

So here's my advice: forget people like that. They aren't your real friends. Don't worry about them liking you. Their opinion of you doesn't matter. Do what you want to do with your life; do what will make you happy. If that's continuing with the lifestyle you lived in high school, go for it. If that's stopping all of that stuff and going after God, go for that.

Though, honestly? You don't need to get drunk, high and laid to have fun.
