For gods sake, its a troll poster taking a rise out of us all and laughing his head off over our responses.. hes on other threads doing the very same thing only on one he has a job with a gun that he doesnt take off to hold his young baby...... come on.....
I do not talk about my religion with others, nor do I put other people down for their religion. I only bring it up when other people ask about it. I am not trolling, I have been reading the religious/spiritual forum as well as the other forums here related to travel(I stumbled across this forum in attempt to find a good place in Florida for my mom and I to vacation) fora while before I made an account.
I am a very shy person usually, my online persona is nothing how I am in real life, here I am more bold but in real life I am as quiet as a mouse. To the person who said why I attend Sunday school but not Mass, I do attend Mass with my mother regularly as well. I am not lying about my church volunteering at my school, they usually host drives to help foster kids or try to raise money for abused children by hosting dances. Thank you for all your replies, and God bless.
Your church sponsors dances and fundraisers at your public school? I've never heard of such a thing. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I'm not familiar with that type of church/public school relationship.

IMO Your biology teacher set you up for bullying when he made those remarks. You should talk to your parents and tell them what happened and what your biology teacher said and what has happened to you in school re; the ongoing insulting pranks etc. I think they should complain in writing to the principle and/or the school board...or you should with your parents backing you up.
Lord knows any other discrimination based on religion would not be tolerated.
As a catholic, I have never once heard anyone say Sunday School. It's always Catechism, PSR (public school religion), or Youth Group. Do you mean youth group? Are you a member of a catholic church or another branch of christianity?
Ever since I was young I have dreamed of being nun or serving the lord in a positive way. I work hard in school( I am currently a senior in high school) and attend sunday school/dutifully every week. I also volunteer for my church to help with various of volunteer projects often. Anyways I wanted to mention all above so you can get the sense of how devoted I am to my faith.
However I guess the problem is that everyone seems to look down upon me because of faith. Now before you think I am being a drama queen let me recount some incidents that have happened to me a lot every time I am asked about my faith:
1. My biology teacher asked my classmates and I what we wanted to do when we get older, I mentioned the possibility of being a nun. My biology teacher gave me a weird look and then snickered. He then preceded to say," Well you always did strike me as being a bit of a prude Nancy," which of course caused the whole class in burst into laughter.
2. This one girl in my English class has this annoying habit of referring to me as "Sister Nancy," I have repeatedly told her to stop do that but she ignored me. She does it on purpose and in a very condescending way.
3. One boy, who knew how I much I love The Virgin Mary, thought it would funny to photoshop the The Virgin Mary's head onto the body of Nicki Manaji in a provocative pose and post it on my locker. I wasn't amuse but apparently every other person in my grade thought it was funny. This boy also wrote Mary is a wh*re on the paper, which I guess was in an attempt to anger me.
4. My English teacher forced me to attend a counseling session at school because she worried about how "obsessive" I was about religion since most of papers I tried to relate to religion. I tried telling her I was not obsessed but religion is the thing I know best compared to other subjects which is why I naturally try to relate it to my papers. She still thinks I am crazy .
5. Another guy who is an atheist(I have nothing against them) straight up told me I was delusional nut because I still believed in God. He also went on say that deep down I was probably a sl*t of will become one in the future(for some reason he doesn't believe that I am a virgin?!). I was honestly so shocked by how nasty he was to me I didn't know how to respond. This another classmate of mine.
I have tons of stories similar to these. People honestly seem to hate me because of my devotion to my religion. I have been picked on since the ninth grade and I am getting tired of it. When did people start to openly hate those who chose to devote their lives to God? Wasn't that once an honorable position? Please help me, I don't think I can take this anymore.
It seems they did all they could to help you and it did not take?
