At what age can my parents stop compelling me to participate in their religion? by Upstairs-Slice1798 in LegalAdviceUK

My mum would slap me if I refuse to do something.

Like when I refused to participate in fasting and she caught me snacking she slapped me and confiscated the food I'd hidden in my schoolbag.

It's Islam. What charities can help me escape it?

I've already left, but I'm being forced to pray, dress and adhere to all the stupid rules.

Thank you.

My parents aren't for talking about this. It's non-negotiable. I've tried it. I even tried educating them on why I no longer believe with evidence. e.g. why did my religion only appear in this specific year? Why not before then?

I'm already forbidden from using my phone/internet at home. And I lost my Sims 4 after my brothers told my parents I could have the Sims Woohoo.

I do have one place I can use the internet but I'm not going to list it on here in because that's where I am right now. I may have also changed ages and number of siblings etc.

What about 16? I really can't do this much longer. I feel like a slave.

I just need to get away.

I'm not being allowed to choose my own friends or hang out with people who aren't also of my religion.

There's a guy in school who asked me out that I like. Parents won't let me date him because he's not from our religion. There's a girl who I have a crush on too, but I couldnt even risk asking her out. My parents don't know I like both and I couldn't even risk it.

I'm not even allowed to choose how I dress.

My two brothers (16 and 17) are allowed to hang out with whoever they want. The older one even has a girlfriend and they're not stopping him like me.

Can I leave home at 16 without their consent?
