Welp, there's a first. An Islamic girl asking to be adopted by an atheist in the hope of receiving more understanding...lol
It's hard trying to educate your parents. I am lucky in that mine are good people, and provided well for me, but my father and I clashed pretty badly at times when I was in my late teens, early twenties. He's worked hard to provide an education for me, but one of the unfortunate consequences was that we ended up with pretty different world-views on some topics. It was hard to live together.
What I can say is that things improved a lot once I moved out a little later. We are now friends, I would say, as well as father and son. Certain things we'll never agree on, but we balanced those out by realising there was a lot we did agree on too.
How does that relate to you? Meh...I honestly don't know. I don't know enough about your specifics. But I guess my point is that this time in your life is transitory, and you will have the independence to make your own choices. Think them through, and make them for you own reasons. Try not to make them in reaction to other things.
(not saying you are...like I said, no judgement here. I know for me, I mostly avoided doing things just to spite my dad even though we didn't get along. Some people I knew definately did things to spite their parents, which in the end is just destructive all around)
Anyways...sorta floating off topic, aren't I? I've worked with kids a lot (ex-teacher) and I've always thought carefully about what I wanted to teach my kids, what I wanted them to learn for themselves, and how I might handle it when we disagree. If you ever want someone to vent to, feel free to PM me, but in the meantime, I just wish you all the best.
