school help: I am trying to be a good christan without semming like a suck up to evyone but.. - Help.com

you know that being good is not evil??? and being difrent is some times better?? good people make enemys very easy, becouse people fear powerful strong people. Be the Stuck up God Loving freak, and be happy for it, not matter what you do you will always have someone that does not like you for being good, thats just life. be nice to everyone and dont expect them to be nice back, love with out wishing to be loved back, never surender, and never say die. you walk the path less travaled, the high ground, there will always be people trying to bring you down. I wish you nothing but the very best in this path you have chosen to walk, May God help you stay strong.

its only when we are alone, Trully alone that we find out what and who we are. plus you have Christ, so your never alone. Friends will come and go, enemys will acumulate.

the thing with free will is we have the choice to do things or to not do things, what is it that you really want? you could follow god a little less if you wanted, maybe to conform and fit in with some people, that is gods gift to you, choice.

You know as well as I do that there’s nothing wrong with having strong faith in the Lord. If you shine, then everyone else will be influenced and say hey, look how happy that girl is, she seems to be getting along just fine.

“shine, make them wonder what youve got, make them with that they were not, on the out side looking for it.”

I won’t lie, being a good person is hard, but its worth coming last so that many others might live a better life.

I’m not religious, either… but I try to live by doing right. It doesn’t matter what you do as long as people know your words and actions are true… I believe more in karma, do good to others, and you will be blessed… Do wrong, and it will catch up to you sooner or later…

I imagine these days schools are just as if not more painful as they use to be, the kids being hateful and making fun of other… They use to call me names, too… But you know what — those people are just as moronic as they were in high school… Just be you, and don’t worry about anyone else. Be proud of who you are and what you believe.

Do you go to church? You should be able to find many friends with shared beliefs in church… They probably experience the same thing.

Leading by example, that is a great way to live, you can not force people to like you or force the to belive what you do, but people will flock to a good person when they are in need. school is harsh, I did home schooling for most of my life and only went to school for a year, enjoyed it but saw so much hate and people being nasty to each other. at the end of school you will leave and most likely never see the people again.

I fully Agree with Arcane, find a group of like minded people and be yourself.

as long as u dont shove it down everyone thoart, try talking about something esle

Some people are shallow and you can’t ever ‘make’ someone like you… Worry less about the ones that don’t accept you and seek out others with the same interests. Again, do you go to church? I haven’t been in a Loooonnnggg time, but they have youth groups still, I’m sure.

You may always be known as the christian chick, and if your faith is strong, maybe you should consider it a compliment. ? Why should that bother you? Could be worse!! I was called ugly, casper, albino… etc… in school. That was fun… but I grew up and it doesn’t matter anymore.

listen do not worry about what they think, remember “he who cast the first stone”, they dont have the right to judge u.

i have always believed that they pitty christians because they dont understand how we can believe in something so strongly eventhough we cant see it. well u cant see gravity but u know its there, u cant see love but u can feel it, u cant see air but u can breath it.

some of these same people believe that Jesus exsisted but dont know wat he did that is why they pitty us.

dont worry about wat they think and say becaue u wont know them long anyways, u are not stuck up, u r just a very strong believer to a point where it makes them upset.

rememeber that as christians we are already better than everyone else, says it in the bible. u r goin to heaven and that should be enough to let u not care about what they say.

just like Arcane said, “some people are shallow”, they dont want to believe wat they cant touch, see, or smell. no open minds

God Bless You and be blessed that you are

who cares if your a jesus freak if your freinds don’t accept you the way you are then tyhey must not be very good freinds

Cast all your cares upon our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for strength, protection, and Godly discenment. That way, no matter what problems you face, God will help you find the right road to take. Keep on going to church, and attending christian youth groups. You will find a friend in there somewhere.

I ment discernment, not discenment.

no that shove it down everyone maypo. there that every nice people good luck

the reason(possibly) these other “christians” in your youth group dont invovle you is because they dont have the faith you do. they are most likely forced or possibly just ‘pretend’ to be christian for other reasons besides faith (like parents, friends, or just not enough knowledge of the other religions…)

but there will be a point in your life where you find that you are thinking too in depth, you assume that you must be a boring person, or something similair is wrong with you, hence people not being your friend and thinking you’re too uptight and all… have you stopped to think maybe all these @$$holes are just shallow? do you really want to be friends with these people that are so quick to judge you at a glance?

remember the trojan horse….
you think you see how something is… then the minute you put your gaurd down WHAM! your whole world changes…

sorry that doesnt really help with being alone, but dont be so quick to ignore online friends… i’ll be your friend G chik… i may not be christian, but wont turn my back on you because you are… i wont judge you, and hell, i’ll even defend you from yourself if the needs be…

hi!
i’m 14, and I tried to look for a religon that suited me. (much to the amusment of my friends and family)I didn’t find one but in Christianly you don’t have to go to extremes. So relax a littl, don’t go looking for trouble only welcome it, when it comes to you. Or its really obvious.

Keep me posted, Guitar chick…

Hey GC, you should be proud to carry the word of God where ever you go. Your making God very proud and also me. I hope you see that your doing the right things. Don’t let other people influence your behavior.

Do you have anything in common with the other kids at your school? Maybe you could try to join in some of the things they like to do, or talk about. Are you friendly? Alot of people are turned off by religion, and judge others in that way. If you’re running around telling people that they are “sinners, and they need god” people don’t usually take that very well. They are more likely to enjoy your company if there is no judgment going on. And remember that having friends at school isn’t everything. School is for learning, and you should be focusing on your education. Do what makes you happy and all will be well. I hope you’re not offended by anything I said. I’m just speaking the truth. Good luck.

I would recommend knowing that you are a good christian, but not necessarily pointing it out all the time. Dont talk about God all the time and try to act as normal as anyone else. I am not trying to tell you to leave religion, its definately an essential part of life but i am recommending that you tone down a bit from the sound of things. Try to make some new friends and dont worry about what they believe in, just be their friend. As far as the youth group goes, participate but dont try to impress anyone or to know everything, just try to blend in. you will feel much more comforted when everyone is not looking at you like a goody-two-shoes. Hope this helps and Keep me updated on how its going!!!

I know how you feel. When I was in highschool, I was a ‘Jesus freak’ too. Had no friends for about a year when I went to an alternative high school, and people there were very against religion. Although it was hard, that year of being alone was really the best thing that ever happened to me. It taught me to be independent and not rely on anyone for my happiness. Also, being alone can give you time to refelct on things, to think, to just enjoy the silence and discovery of self. I know it can be hard, but nothing is forever. Rely on your faith to get you through this dificult time, and try to see what God is showing you. He puts you in certain places at certain times for a reason. Good luck guitar chick!

I know how you feel… Being a Christian will never be easy…. In your opinion. What does the Bible say about this?

hey sweetie, Like I said before.. it is Christ in you that everyone hates and so the world is going to lable you some crazy things and call you crazy but dont you dare believe it! You know when I was in high school I was called about every name in the book all because I am christian. But that did not matter to me, I count it all glory to be persecuted for Him! And I praise God that I recieve that persecution. Because that is how I know that I am against the devil and his evil ones and that is how i know I am going to heaven :-D

So do not let these little things bother you for that is how you know that you are in right standing with god and that you are loved and in his will ;-) rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven!

Alright, I’m not reading all the above posts, but I’ll put in my thoughts. I don’t think that what they think of you bothers you as much as people here seem to think. (OK I read a little) Your biggest fear is becoming an outcast. Not having any friends. My advise, throw a party. You are going to be tempted to prove to them that you are not miss goody two shoes. In doing so, they will try to get you to do something you will regret. Beat them to the punch! Put together a small band and throw a party! A band debut party. Don’t be selective with who you invite, invite everyone. Make them come to you on your terms, not theirs.

Like Animal, I read through some of the above posts but not all. It sounds to me like you are trying to find your identity. In time you will become more comfortable with who YOU are and as you do, it will show through. And if people give you a hard time for being who you are, try not to get defensive and don’t feel ashamed. Just smile and say yep, that’s me.

Just be yourself! Dont worry about what other people think …. but DONT be self-righteous…. holier than thou….. just be like Christ…. he love sinners (you and me, baby!) and he spent more time with prostitutes and tax collectors (the dregs of society) than he did with the stuck up, self-righteous pharisees.
Instead of trying to be a good Christian….. just try to learn more about God and Christ and His word and let that direct you….. .God has already accepted you in Christ….and nothing you do now or ever can change the perfect work He did for you.

as long as your happy with your self! it your life and no one should deserve that chance to change it!

Maybe you don’t fit in because you’re so special and unique? :)

Just a thought. Good luck. Growing up is tough, but you’ll survive. And be all the stronger for it.

What is it they say, “God never gives you more than yo ucan handle?”

No, I’m not religious, but I am open minded.
