I have no clue. Seems like there's lots of wisdom in the replies above. Just curious, is the father figure (I thought there was one) an Xian? I wonder how she's acquiring these thoughts. I will say that I was pretty rebellious as a teen. I never attended a Christian church (well, since 9), but one of my high schools was Catholic (and I actually rather liked it for some reason).
