I ,by definition, am not very religious and I take pride in the fact that I am not forced to partake in activities that are physically or emotionally strenuous because of what I was told to believe in when I was young. (I mean no offence to any other religion)

What troubles me is that I may come across hostility in the new school because of my lack of "faith". Based on what I've seen from the outside it looks like a very nice school and I would hate to compromise my chance for a good education because I don't believe in certain higher powers.

And so I must decide, do I pretend like I believe everything they tell me and pretend like my faith is the only thing that matters or come clean if I am asked and potentially risk my future?

*sigh* I wish I was back in kindergarten making mud cakes or something.

But look on the bright side, hot catholic school girls.

And yes, hot catholic school girls are a bright side.

..and the hot catholic school girls.

p.s. high school chicks with amazing perfect legs forced to wear short skirts constantly...how could you go wrong? that's gotta be worth any possible spiritual strain they can throw at ya

As long as they're not grey.

Since 1st grade I've always been to Catholic Schools, when I was younger I used to believe in God but I was never excessively religious and it was fine. Then, at about age 16 or 17, suddenly a lot of people start to "lose their faith", so discussions in religion class became rather heated debates. Some day I realized I was on the side of the non-believers, too... Most teachers are okay with it, my religion teacher was actually pretty glad that me and my friend were of the non-Catholic/atheist opinion because it added some spice to discussions.

So speak your mind when you feel you need to do it, maybe don't just shout it out at every occasion... a peaceful coexistence should be possible.

And are you sure that in that school people wear school uniforms? In my school we're allowed to wear anything we like (and actually, when I wear a schoolgirl-type short skirt people are somewhere in between amazed and shocked).

That's a big compliment coming from you CK. And yes, the skirt (and knee-high socks) thing is certainly one to be happy about. I had previously gone to a non uniform school and (at the expense of sounding a tad girlish) I couldn't find anything to wear!

Well after all your coments I certainly feel a whole lot better about this. Thanks all
