Could you give us more detail? What is this constant daily mocking?
That would be a separate topic.

I have a sneaking suspicion that being a christian isn't really the primary reason you get mocked.

All people do is mock Christians in high schools. (Along with other groups, and religions, etc) And you people dont even admit that? You are not in the high schools. You do not know about it, and you even mock that I am not being attacked for being a christian, while I claim to be mocked

"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." Jesus- John 15:18I don't think it's Jesus so much as his followers. I'm a non-believer, and I don't hate Jesus. I'm not too crazy about overzealous Christians who won't leave me in peace, but mostly it's not much of an issue.
Why? From John 1:19-20
" And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."

Frubals to you. I have said all that I need to say in this thread. I am not going to convince people who want to convince me of the opposite.

I don't hate Jesus, but I'm not too hot about some of his followers. The reason it seems people hate Jesus is mostly because of people like you, and I'm not trying to be offensive in any way. As your religion you have put "Jesus is the ONLY way". That makes my insides churn, but I say nothing, because I've learned to respect other people's beliefs, while very few Christians respect my beliefs. Just yesterday a Christian flat out told me he did not respect my beliefs, nor did he have to. The only animosity I have against Christianity is that it tends to deny its followers happiness and freedom, and they claim to be the one right and only way. They aren't the only ones though.
I don't hate any religion, nor do I say any religion is the "correct" religion. But nobody wants to have to be told their wrong every single day of their lives by someone of another faith. Eventually Christianity turns sour in the eyes of nonbelievers, but it's more about the followers than the actual faith. I personally have nothing but respect for Christianity, as it is just another path leading to the same place. Every religion has some undesirable followers.
Blessed be.

You have yet to provide any evidence other than, "I am mocked"
I may not be in High School, but I have two kids in High School. My best friend is a High School history teacher, my dad is a High School principle.
I have never heard of, nor have I ever seen any evidence of the constant mocking of Christians as a whole. However, there are instances of people who become the victims of bullying due to certain attitudes. Could this be the root of your problems?

Some people tend to think more open mindedly than others, some are insecure and find Christians the easy target.

Alright, that sounds awful, and I'm sorry this is happening to you. Do you have some Christian friends at school?

two of them. One girl who I am hoping to take to homecoming. The other one is pretty quiet, and gets mocked a lot less, only by real jerks, and people defend him, because he is so quiet and self reserved.

Seems we are not getting the whole story as to why you are being mocked....
That's just wrong. No one should be verbally abused.

Colorado. People like to debate with me, apparantly. Nobody wants to debate with a person who is softspoken, but everyone wants to with somebody who talks lound and cracks jokes.

Indeed - being obnoxious tends to rub people the wrong way.

Interesting,
I too, am in Colorado.

That's true enough. I had a similar problem in high school, although my positions were very different than yours. Keep your chin up. Life just gets better.

Yeah, I love all of the friends at my church, and the freshmen on my basketball team dont even care about religion and stuff. Its nice to have people who only care about basketball, girls, and fun.

I have to say, I went to a public high school with a pretty large number of students, and didn't see the kind of constant mocking you're talking about. And this wasn't very long ago. My two siblings are currently attending the same high school, and they don't see it either.
Maybe your school just really sucks?
Or perhaps there's something you're doing (unintentionally, or without realizing it) that makes other people feel uncomfortable with your Christianity?
