No help here. I've forgotten what the ritual even entails. I know I did it. It had little to no impact.
If possible, go stoned.

I was raised nominally catholic, but I gave up on my faith before the confirmation and consequently - never learned what that "sacrament" entails. All I needed to find out about it was, that it wasn't required in order to get into high-school (well - any high-school I wanted to go to), that I'd be expected to hand an envelope containing money to the priest and that nobody was going to give me presents, like on my first communion. Even at the tender age of 14 I could tell a waste of time when I saw one.
Mother wasn't too pleased, that I decided to give the whole damn thing a miss, but - at the end of the day - it wasn't the end of the world. If I ever needed to come back to the church, I could just get confirmed then. It's not like catholics are picky about who they let into their fruity club.

I have worked with a lot of teenagers . . . many from Catholic High Schools in my area. I don't know how many times, regarding confirmation, I have heard a kid say "Eh, it's all crap. I'm just doing this to keep my parents happy." They went through the motions, made the profession of faith, and as soon as they were out of their parents house, stopped going to church.

I was raised Catholic as well, but since none of it made much sense to me I just went through with it to appease my mother at the time. She never bothered me about religion after that, thankfully. So I'd advise you just do it. It means a lot to her, doesn't mean much to you but you get free wine out of it

I'd consider it to be an honor to be excommunicated for doing something perverted with a Jesus biscuit.
Like nibbling it out of a foreskin or something. Wonder how many priests would take the church proceedings file home for closer examination ?? The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
I think just spreading nutella or stuff like that on the cracker would work... tbh I'd eat that
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped. Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses. Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder. Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids." The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

When I got to the first communion, we then could eat the communion wafer for the first time. Damn thing tasted like nothing and gets stuck on the roof of the mouth.
That is why I became an atheist. Babies taste better
