Writer_Chick1213 Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 I'm just wondering the general area everyone is from...any other fellow canadians on here? I'm from Alberta Canada. So how many LDS kids are there in your highschool? I've got 4 including myself and there are a total of 450 kids. And two of us including me are graduating this year so there will only be 2 of them left...poor little grade 10s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toto Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I feel you PinkBlankie, I live in Cedar Park, Texas in Austin and at my school there are probably 3 mormons counting myself. It is a brand new school. There are only grades 9&10 at the school now. Hopefully as it grows some more LDS people will come around. There are zero mormons in my graduating class, not including me, I know that. I wish there were more. In my seminary class there is 17 people from grades 9-12.

Franken Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I can see how you guys would be grateful to be around so many more, but from living around so many in my life, agh... it's not that much fun. Can't really explain it, if you lived here you'd know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkBlankie Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I just wish i could be around more Lds members.. Although i kinda feel "special" for being one of the only mormons... i kinda like that i have a secret. I mean like i'm the only one who knows the truth.. is that wrong?

Guest Janeya Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Let's see, I'm from So Cal. I'm not sure how many lds kids there are at my school but in seminary there are about 15 kids in each grade (9-12). I know what you mean about living around lots of mormons. Right now I'm applying to colleges (ack!) and one thing I've been trying to pay attention to is the strength of the church in the area. I'm applying to the Y but I don't think I'd like going there, a little overwhelming if you catch my drift. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toto Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I get what you guys mean. When you live in a place where everyone you know is mormon and it has always been that way, you know like everyone was raised in the church, than nobody has the oppurtunity to gain their own testimony. The gospel just doesn't feel like it should, or everyone doesn't know how blessed they are. Everyone rebels, and acts like they know all the rules and standards of the church and they judge you. I heard from a friend that they were miserable at BYU, Provo. She couldn't even be herself because everyone was judging her. That's why if I do go to BYU, I'm going to Ricks, Idaho campus. I'm not downing BYU whatsoever. I've just heard things about how some of the people are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writer_Chick1213 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 wow yikes i can't imagine living around nothing but mormons...that will be weird...i'm going to BYU for University soon and that is going to be hard to get used to. I used to live in a town were no one had even heard of mormons. The nearest church was almost 2 hours away. BYU will be a shock. but a good one hopefully.

deepthinker Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 i live in erie, y'know, the lake? we have, oh man, i think 5 mormons in my school, and there are 8 kids in my seminary class when everyone comes. i really like not being in a completely mormon populated area, 1) you have the ability to stand on your own two feet. i would imagine, that in places where tehre are lots of mormons, it's simply easier to just be, cuz that's what there is. and 2) there isn't the constant pressure of knowing that people who are "better then you" are watching you all the time. but i would imagine there are benefits to either.
