One of my first churches as a teen, that was really horrible. I was first in a cultish church, but that guy hit the only kid there was, his own kid, so she was always quiet, but there was nothing to do for the poor kid, no kid service, no fun service for the whole family, which everyone could understand (they did that in Toronto, awesome and they had this huuuuuge kids church place with paid people to give the kids church). Anyway, that tiny church didn't have any of that, so I let her draw in the back of my Bible. The pastor was shocked when he saw it. But the other church was bad. I was around 18, 19. I wanted to meet God, but those other teens were just forced to go by their parents and more interested in dating, so once I sat with them in the church service, a bit in the back and they would just go slime in church, kiss and hang around each other's necks. Completely insane. I just went to sit elsewhere. That was the most irritating distraction ever. A kid forced to shut up okay, but these were old enough to behave. Absurd that they just let them be. When my ex had a church one dominant woman forced her kids to go, teens, and they were absolutely not interested and annoying and once she didn't come, but the teens had to go an hour from her, so he spent all night making a preaching and then had to look at those annoyed faces. I can't remember what else they did, but he just told em they were allowed to leave if they didn't like it and later their mom got furious at him.
