Talk
Talk to your parents, ask them if you can get a transfer. I go to a Christian school and I like it. Maybe write the school with the problem you have with the school. Who knows? They might change some things.

I know how you feel. I've been going to the same Christian school for 14 years and I still have one to go. I know at times you want to leave because you want to be like everyone else and not be picked on because of your faith or where you go to school.
I agree with starlit_tunnel as well in saying you should search for the truth...look deeper into the Bible. Ask questions and don't just take what they give you. Learn what you want to learn. All the teachers in the schools really care about you, and I'm sure that if you stick it out God will bless you...

I know how you feel.
I'm sorta going through the same thing right now. Ive been going to a private school my whole life, and have been thinking about going to public too. The main reason I haven't gone to public school is because it's scary. People might think I'm stupid for saying that, but for someone like me, it is.
I think the best way to figure out where you want to go to school is ask yourself "Why am I not already in public school(or homeschooling, if that's what you want)?" I wrote out a pro/con list too, but I dont think those actually helped make the decision. I've decided now that I am going to go to public school, and do a "trial run" type of thing for the last month of school, to see if I'll really like going there. I hope I helped you. Good luck!

The best thing you can do is to talk to your parents about not wanting to go to Christian school anymore. I went from 2nd grade to 9th grade and then switched to a public school in 10th. Best move I've made.
I just told my mom I needed more room to grow and that the public high school in my town would be a better place to do it. My mom and I both thought it would be better and I think it was. Just talk to your parents about it.

Well if you don't feel comfortable there, no one should be forcing you to go. Your religious beliefs are your choice, your parents cannot decide for you. You should talk to your parents about this and they'll probably give you advice on why all of a sudden you're feeling this way. If after listening to what they have to say, you still feel the same, ask them if you can transfer.
They're your parents and they should respect your decision. But before you decide to transfer schools, really think hard about it. Think about why your parents sent you there in the first place, because they care about you. Because they want what's best for you. Give it a chance before you talk to them. Good luck and I hope you make the right choice!

I also go to a Christian school. Sometimes I don't like the way things are taught and I get tired of it. I want a change. However, everyone at my school is very nice and the teachers are great. Maybe you're overlooking something.
I plan to go to a public univeristy when I finish high school. Maybe you should do the same. I'm a Christian and I love the lord so being able to recieve my education from a Christian perspective is an amazing thing and it's something to be thankful for. Maybe you don't realize this.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to leave as long as you have a good reason I guess. Maybe I'm just contradicting myself...

I went to a Christian school also. Inevitably, whether you're actually a Christian or not, there's always going to be something or someone you don't agree with. With me, it was only minor things.
If you hate it and don't think you'll make it through, you should really consider talking to your parents. It may be a phase you're going through, and it may not. Your parents may not like the idea, but if you talk to them about it reasonably and they are understanding about it, they may give you another alternative. If the problem is that they don't want you public school, suggest a secular private school instead. Hope that helps. :)

Think about it.
My advice... re-evaluate why you started in this school in the first place. Then think about why you don't agree with it anymore or why you don't like it. I have gone to a Christian school all my life as well and there were points where I just wanted to get away from all the fakeness and the gossip everyone did when I wanted to do my own thing.
Now that I've grown up a bit I realized that my parents did the right thing by sending me to Christian school. I don't know what else to say but don't just give up on it. If you aren't agreeing with Christianity anymore, then search for the TRUTH. Don't just ignore the truth, try to find it. Maybe you'll reconsider your christian school later.

Try talking to your parents.
Try asking your parents when they are not busy to sit down so you can discuss something with them. Then explain to them why you do not want to go to Christan school anymore, (and be sure to have WRITTEN down a list of SPECIFIC reasons beforehand) and then after talking to them for a while be sure to give them some time to think it over. Be sure to act maturely and responsibly so that they can trust you! And good luck!
