(62,444 posts)I love threads that are about me.
An eleven year old is certainly well able to know his religious beliefs and not participate in things contrary to them. But the OP gives no indication of what his thoughts or feelings on the matter are, and the discomfort is cast in terms of how he thought his parents would react. I'm just going on what is written there, and it says much.
I also have some tangentially related experience in stating directly to a school coach, without getting exercised about it, that his behavior would result in legal action against him and the school. (That situation involved leaving an injured child - mine - unattended in a locker room.)
But, hey, let's talk about me. I'm a much more interesting topic, I assure you. Lets detail all of my personality flaws and how much better I would be if I were more like you.
