I hate it, I really do.

The church I go to is the same church that everyone at my school goes to. So I'm bound to see someone that I know, and don't like. That also means I'm going to have to find something "appropriate" to wear, and I will probably get judged by the assholes (if I don't wear something fabulous) who go to my church as well.

The service is too long. If we go to the 8:00, it only last two hours. But if we go to the 11:00, we'll be there, surely, until 2:00. Then, we must get lunch. So by the time I get back home, it's 4, and my day is gone.

Church is also a waste of my time because I no longer consider myself a Christian, yet me parents force me to go.

I also have a bunch of homework to do today.

DAMMIT!

I wish I could do that, but the one time I did, they took away my car and my computer privileges.

Then go and just fucking sit there and stop bitching.
Take all your homework with you.
Dont dress up. Just wear pants and a shirt and tell them I have homework to do unless you want me failing my classes. Now if that doesn't work then just get over it

Just don't go. And point out that it's not their right to choose your religion for you.

If they insist, tell them you'll only go if you change churches.

go to a different church, or a youth group or something
here we have night time churches aimed at youth that only last an hour, we have a band that is pretty cool and its pretty informal

I think your being a bit immature and selfish, I mean think of all the sacrifices your parents have made for you. I'm not ignoring your feelings but I know when I lived at home we all had to live by my parents rules and respect their wishes. We all also knew what we could do if we didn't like it.

saturday night walk around looking ill. then don't get up on sunday morning.

Aw. Actually two hours doesn't seem really long but often due to the time we start on something, it gets long. Like I have Japanese lesson even though I hate it but my parents insist I learn the language, two days every week. I go after school ends, at about 4.30 to 6.30pm and by the time I get home it will be 7 plus and pretty late if I still have homework and everything.

Church isn't pointless. If you didn't go there for a couple of hours what else would you be doing besides that? You at least helping yourself by being there. My church is different we get there at 10 and get out 12. Or you can just go to preaching and go at 11 and get out at 12.

Then try another church. Not all churches are like yours.
