Stupid School

My school is a Catholic school. I am well aware of the fact that at a Catholic school you accept, upon joining paticipating in Catholic things like going to Mass and crap but my school has offically reached an all new low. Tomorrow there will be a buy-out. A buy-out is when you buy a ticket to go watch a game of some sort and in return you get to basicly legally skip classes(2 of them). Now when a mass aproches, most students either skip until mass is over, or don't come at all. Tomorrow, they are having a buy-out AND a mass. Why? Most likely so that they can trick more people into coming to mass so they don't look like a crummy school. If that isn't bad enough they also force people into doing confessions even if you are not Catholic. Last year we went down to the Chapel and sat there while people were doing confessions and the teacher said earlier, "You don't have to do confessions if you like, but it's encouraged." Now I thought, well that sounds fair. BUT GUESS WHAT? You don't actually have a choice.

I was sitting there when the teacher came over and said, "It's your turn". I simply said, "No thanks, I'd rather not." You know what he did? He grabbed my shoulder and said, "Come on, everyone is waiting to go, just be a good sport." And with that I was pushed out of my seat and into the next room with a Priest where I had to make up some cock and bull story to satisfy the Bible-thumper. You don't even have the choice to not go to mass either, and you also HAVE to stand for prayers in the morning. I stand out of respect to my country for it's anthem, but I stand because I'm forced to for prayers.

So in conclusion, my school sucks.
