NO, just because your parents believe one thing, does not mean you as a kid are obligated to blindly swallow that religion. Kids are not clay that you mold and bake in an oven. You teach kids HOW to think, not what to think.
Die has every damned RIGHT to have their own thoughts. Now, I do not see any posts in this thread telling die to disrupt the house, or drop out of school, NOBODY is saying that. Die SHOULD stay out of trouble, but that DOES NOT mean Die should live in a mental prison and never talk to anyone.
This is the same CRAP LGBT had to go through for far too long. It is easier for adults to say what they want, but when you have no choice but to live under a roof knowing you cant legally leave, and those under that roof, could condemn you for not buying the same thing, EVEN kick you out on the street. That is EVEN the same fear X-Muslims have knowing they still have to pretend they believe even though they dont.
We are not going to let you bully or blackmail Die in this thread.
Die should stay in school, get the best grades they can, save their money, and when they get out on their own, then they don't have to worry about what their parents may or may not do. BUT as long as they have to live under a roof like that, they need someone to vent to, WE WILL provide that to them.
