So, I'm Getting Confirmed

[Lek]

I don't think anyone who tells you to lie to your parents really cares about you. You say you love your parents. Don't you think they love you? You don't have to believe as they do, but that's no reason to turn against them. Obviously, you've never told them how you feel. Why do you think they're going to turn against you? Family is the tightest relationship you have. Think about what they've done for you during yur lifetime. No one is going to care more about you than family.

You must live in a bubble where everything is rainbows and sunshine.

Sometimes family does more damage to a person than a criminal.

I'm a parent who knows how he would react, which would be out of love. You can't cram christianity down someone's throat, they have to be open to accept it. I hear a lot of sterotypes about christians on this website which are probably true about some, but they're not true of the majority. I'm a christian and I know because I'm around them all the time. You're right about family sometimes causing damage, but in the huge majority of cases it's the other way around. He says he loves his parents, which is an indication that they having been caring to him. Communication problems probably cause more trouble than anything else in families. I believe the break-up of the family is one of biggest reasons for crime, drug use, and school drop-out. In lthis case I still say open up about it. If his parents go ballistic, then he can take it from there.
