Oh boy, I'm lost for words
I really hope you can get someone to take you to your appointment if your mum continues to neglect you like this.
I hate the fact parents can make their kids go to church. That they would do this knowing what you're going through makes them monsters. So much for fucking religious morality.

Rob, you need to look at it from their perspective. They think they're doing the best for their kids. And that is why it's impossible to curb that behavior.
DG, what so bad about going to church?
The few times, I'm made to go, I just sit there and try not to pay attention to the parrot.... because, if I do, I start shaking my head at all the nonsense and their inability to answer the simple question of "how do you know that?"

Its not church, its anxiety thats amplified 2000x in public places in general. If i didnt have OCD i would have zero problem going.
I still cant shake anxiety. Its pretty dark out right now but i am going to go outside and find somewhere to stay until they get back from church.

Show me a 14 year old without a dependence on porn, and I'll call that kid a liar.
Seriously, GD, if you are contemplating suicide, or need to get some real help, call 911 on yourself. You will be taken to a hospital, you will be able to talk to a professional, and you will be able to relay your situation and the desperation of your position. Hopefully an outside professional will do the right thing and call DCS or something to give your parents the ultimatum they deserve.
If the people tasked with protecting you aren't doing it, then you do it yourself. Taking some control will help your mental state, as well.
My heart hurts for you. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this shit, no one should be let down by the people who are supposed to help no matter what.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yes you're right, that fact that anyone can think treating their kid like this is "the best thing" is scary as fuck.

Its a problem now, kinda like an alcoholic but its with porn.
I've thought about suicide, but I'm not going through with it. I don't have the guts to do it myself, but if I got hurt and learned I was going to die I'm not sure if I would be sad or indifferent.
If they don't take me monday I will do what I can to get there.
Thanks for the concern. They feel like they are helping me by saving my soul or whatever.

Thank you.
I asked my mom if I could stay home from church today. This is how it went.
"I don't want to go."
"Too bad, you need Jesus."
"You need to prove he exist and is the son of god, thats all you have to do."
"We are gonna get satan out of you."
"Why do I have to go?"
"Because you live under this house and we provide for you."
"Well, you already told the preacher and had him make a lesson and-"
"I swear as god as my witness I didn't."
"Okay, whatever, Im not taking your word for it."
"You don't have to."
Then she preceded to sing the word Jesus over and over again.
I'm leaving the house. I'm gonna get the shit kicked out of me when they get home. I'll probably get grounded. I would rather get grounded than have anxiety though.
I won't be on for a bit.

Your posts are getting caught by the spam filter, probably happened because you quoted someone who used a link. I'll sort them out. You can stop it happening if you replace the link in the reply with [link] or something.
Now sorted out, I put your initial post back  I got rid of the duplicates posted after.
Good for you for standing up for yourself. I'm sorry she is being so ridiculous. Take care of yourself, and I hope to hear from you again soon
