I really try to do as much as possible to be calm and nice, but they never are. They're intoletable and mean about it. They refuse to let me not partake in church services and activities. It's black and whitebto them. They're so close-minded. And they yell at me for being too dramatic, rude, and close-minded. It's so damn contradictory.
Hate to say this, but you live under their roof. I really would not make it too much of an issue with them while you are living with them. Your best bet is to while being yourself, SHOW them in demonstration through your actions by helping them around the house. Stay in school and get the best grades you can. Long term as long as they know you are doing your best, they may never understand, but with time it wont be so scary to them.
