How should I punish my child?

[Stephy]

this is a stupid question first off..... YOU CANNOT FORCE HER TO BELIEVE IN RELIGION. IT IS A PERSONAL CHOICE!!! secondly, she is 13 and beginning to think for herself, it is a NATURAL thing for a 13 yr old to start questioning her surroundings, and seriously...u took away priviledges because of a personal choice (a little thing that mentions - "freedom of choice" would be good to quote here...... wouldnt it be better that she decide ON HER OWN TO be catholic and be happy with her decision in her own time or be forced into it and hate every minute of it... this is what i HATE about religion, you are so hellbent, YES, HELLBENT(!!!!) ON FORCING YOUR SCREWED UP RELIGION ON A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL!!!! get over it....give her back her computer, give her back her itouch (WHICH SHE PAID FOR WITH HER OWN MONEY YOU IDIOT, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TAKE THAT FROM HER), let her out of the house!!! and maybe TALK TO HER!!!! ASK HER OPINION!!!! and wow....omg it is the end of the frigging world if YOU ARE EMBARASSED!!! your child is depressed!!! let her think with her own mind!!!! rather, support her decision!!! instead of punishing her for thinking for herself!!! this is something you are going to have to live with.... get over it bible-pusher.... i had the SAME thing happen to me where i was punished and blacklisted for not following my family's religion....and ya know what? i think i turned out just fine, im happy, make a living, and live my life to the fullest.... and lastly, just for good measure..... GET OVER YOURSELF..... ITS NOT YOUR DECISION TO MAKE FOR HER, YOU SHOULDNT BE EMBARASSED, YOU SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE, SHE SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR SOMETHING SO TRIVIAL.....and no wonder she's depressed....shes got you and the entire family to thank for that....
