How do I get my parents to quit controlling me? Do not get me wrong, I do enjoy attending the Sunday school (I teach toddlers) and the worship service.

But I hate going at night... it drives me crazy. I hate doing the same routine every Sunday. I just don't enjoy it. How can I convince my parents that I don't have to go to church to be completely in touch with God? I'm 18 and I think I should be able to make this decision by myself.

By the way, my dad is a part of the Gideons organization and my mother is apart of that too and she is also part of a women's missionary organization, the WMU. So they are very religious... how can I make them see?

1. gather all the facts up.

2. make sure you spend enough time with you parents.(so you guys understand how you 'opporate'.

3. Make sure you have gcse's and all that.

4. Look in the newspaper, everday for avaliable jobs.

5. make sure the job gives enough money to cover rent, food, heating, air condishoning, If your diciding to get a little one, and car insurance.

6. Tell them there are so many things you want to do in the world.

7. say you want to try diffrent things.

8. whatever you say make sure you say the LAST word phrase or sentence, it leaves the parents think positive on your idea, make sure you dont scream in at them.

9. Take your job siriosly, when they want to do something with you, you say "sorry i'm sorting out stuff for sunday school" stuff like that.
