If you can access YouTube, I recommend watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlnnWbkMlbg

The other people in your class might not be Christian, but if Wicca is too alternative for them, they're not going to want to support somebody who lives their personal faith in a way that doesn't hurt anybody.

They might even think that giving people the freeze is actually a neutral action, but everybody needs a support system of family and friends. If they're not willing to recognize that need and give that support then they're not the kind of people who should be giving it anyway because they're judgmental sheeple-jerks. You'll find good people and real friends one day, because you know how to actually be yourself even when everybody else wants you to pretend to be like them.

I hope this helps!

Sounds like you've had the same (or at least similar) problem as many of us have had at some point. I've been following my path for almost 20 years now, and even now I run into people that are rude, mean, disrespectful. I tend to be pretty private about myself anyway, so I don't advertise my belief system with the world at large. That's what works for me.

What should you do? Well, you have to do what you think is best, but here is my suggestion... Regardless of what the Christian boy or the rest of your class might say or do, prove them wrong. Lead by example. Show that you're not afraid, you're not ashamed, and that you're still respectful and friendly. Don't let these people be your enemies; if they want to be judgmental and unkind, that's on them. Do not let their behavior dictate who you are. If your peers won't select you for groups, do you have to do the work on your own? If so, do so cheerfully, and do as good of a job as you can. If you are placed in a group, go out of your way to be helpful and friendly. Eventually, at least a couple people will come around. And if not, at least you haven't sunk to a negative level.

That being said, if you begin to feel unsafe you should seek the counsel of an authority figure that you trust. And if nothing else, you've always got some people to commiserate with here.

There are allot of nut cases out there who pretend to be Christian and are not. A true Christian would not treat you that way and don't you forget it.

There are ten commandments that true Christians follow. To not judge others and to not bare false witness are two that are most broken by what are false fake Christians. They are nothing but terrorists. Freedom of religion is a Civil Right.

Here is another tip that I have learned. Watch what you eat because when what you have described is going on, so does the food tampering. Allot of diseases and poor health are purposely caused by contaminated food. Check the packaging on everything before you eat it to make sure it does not have any needle marks or loose seals. Just like you would check your candy on Halloween.

Write down any negative statements said to you or around you. Make sure to note the time, date etc. Bring a tape recorder or use your cell phone to record negative statements if you can. If you are followed try to take a picture of whoever it is or any cars that may be related to that type of activity.

Keep all that information in a safe place. You may need it later if things get out of hand.

My advice...You think what I believe in is weird? It's no different then me bullying you for your beliefs.
If you don't back down and stand strong they will realize they are making a fool of themselves. Look at them like they are stupid next time. Just sit there and stare at them like wtf. Lol put your phone to your ear and be like any ways I don't even know what happen some fudge monkeys is trying to make me mad. Say it loud enough for them to hear and walk away ;)

If all they're doing is ignoring you, then ignore them. Like the boy who is set in his ways, you know you're not evil or worship the devil, and just as you can't be convinced otherwise [because there is no devil in Wicca] neither will he, so it's a loosing battle. Best to save your energy and avoid stress. If they begin to bully you, document it and go to someone in authority.

No one is liked by everyone, it's better to know sooner rather than later who is shallow and sway because of superficial matters. Keep your head up.

Yeah, also remember people like him are weak minded, they follow blindly to something that tells them to do so, better to pity his condition rather than take him and them seriously. By the way i find Christianity to be a complex religion for most people, there is a lot of symbolism which they tend not to pay mind to.

@ Xael, not to upset any Christians, but most agree with what the preacher says. its been that way throughout history. theres many great stories and life lessons, unfortunately most agree with someone elses interpretation. not to mention there are some contradictions, example 'love thy neighbour' is pretty simple, but that tends to be ignored when someone is being disowned for their sexuality or religion. i don't know why many Christians blindly follow, but that could be said for many religions.

To be honest, this isn't worth your time.

People sadly judge each other, with hate and discontent in this world. No one fully trust's each other to be, honest.

After the witch hunts, people grew fearsome and loyal to the faiths, that were publicly claiming, ''were the best'' and, what not.

I still hate how much, many people will judge you. All just based on : skin color, hair, religion, family. Everything is judged.

In my opinion, people who claim to be, ''christian'' ''muslim'' or, ''catholic'' or those main stream religions, are not actually what there religion is.

There is always a lesson. In christianty, me coming from a family. Whom the bible states, Treat others as you want to be treated, or don't judge anyone, just based on beliefs.

Yet, people claim to be Christian. Christianty is a good religion, every religion is. But only if you value it's lessons, and beliefs.


If he's claiming to be a good, ''christian'' he's not. Frankly a college student, he is a mere idiot.

Gandhi once said "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

If you ask me, I would ignore them unless it turns physical or they send you threatening letters, at which point I would get teachers, parents, and so on involved. High school can be hell for various reasons, but its only a few years then you'll never see those close minded individuals until your reunion. Be the bigger person and they will move on. Trust me, they will get bored if you sit their with your head high, or you do something productive and don't pay any attention.

Blessed Be.

Hi! I am sorry to hear about your situation. If the boy does not stop what he is doing then go to the authority and tell them what is going on. That boy is not worth your time, so just shake it off. It is their opinion and you know deep down that it is the opposite of that they are saying. Just as long as you stick to what you believe in then you will be fine.
