In these times of trouble, we should always cry out to the Lord. When there is suffering in our life, then we can use that as an excuse to cry for the Lord Mercy. Just like Kunti Devi says in Bhagavatam:
vipada santu tah sasvat tatra tatra jagat guro bhavatad darsanam yat syad apunar bhava darsanam "I wish that all those calamities would happen again and again so that we could see You again and again, for seeing You means that we will no longer see repeated births and deaths."
Here she is praying for misery, because by that excuse she can call Krsna and He will come! Another two devotees come to mind. Prahlad Maharaj had so much opposition from his parents, but he always had faith in Hari, and that faith caused Lord Hari to descend as Narahari and protect him! Haridas Thakur also got alot of opposition from the muslims of his family, but he always had firm faith in Lord Gaur Nitai, and in fact those opposition strengthened his faith!
In Bhakti, in order to progress to the next level, the Lord may give us some problem to overcome, and by overcoming we become closer to Him. Just like you cannot get from grade 1 to grade 2 without a final examination, our bhakti when tested grows stronger! Joy Nitai!
You should always remember and be careful that those who oppose absolutely don't know what they are doing ! They have no idea if their true self . They are forgetful about their spiritual identities - sat , chit , aanand form . And are absobed in bodily concept of life .
Moreover , we are actually puppets ! Now the non devotees threads are under the control of Material Nature - Three Modes - Goodness , Passion and Ignorance !
So when they scold you actually uts not they but the materail nature working via them . They are innocent . Do not know what they are doing .
So please be merciful in their true self .
Because its a war of False Ego vs. False Ego !
Learn from Grass Prabhu and Tree Prabhu . Give respect to all , because they are all actually our masters , though they are infacted right now. And never expect respect for youself because you don't know your true self . All respect and disrespect are given to your False Identity , False Ego . So don't expect any respect for yourself .
Never forget that Krishna is also watching everthing. So don't worry . Just pray to the Supreme Controller .
@ Mihir Prabhu .
10th offence ! Well , just be careful . You are not this body . And the family member are also not the bodies . So its all about not to have attachment with Bodily Relations . But since we are all part and parcels of Krishna , we must have spiritual relationships with each other also . And so , give respect to their hidden spiritual peronalities .
The best way to solve 10th offence is to CHANT WITH FULL ATTENTION ! If you solve 10th offense , all other will be solved automatically .
Dissolve your false ego . Then you will be freed from the duality attachment and de-attachment ! Its all based on False Ego only !

I always look at my practices when it appears the others are becoming agitated by my (KC) performance of dutys. Why, because Krishna & the GodHeads are perfect and their presence in our lives is perfect hence it could only be me. Turning the beads towards the right, chanting at a palatable tempo and octive, & remaining always non-confrontational in all ways. It's also ok to worship at the feet of those who are not yet worthy of your Favor. This has often been done in the past by devoted Bhaktees who find themselves in a situation where by no other means can the endearment of another's heart can be accomplished! This service attitude & methud of service (chanting) is transferable it works for/on the heart of hearts of everyone. You might not see immediately the results but their hearts will be melted over time, Because Krishna is in the hearts of everyone as Parramatta He said that in the Gita Gita. Serve them more dearly day by day. Hare Krishna & Good Luck. Honoring ancestors is not forbidden!-) We hardcore than simply immigrants traveling back home to the GodHeads. We are the Soul's last and best shot for recognising the distinction between what is eternal truth & that which is ego driven temporary superficial fact. Don't let them down & don't let their hearts be feeling abandoned by your service. Honoring them is loving them & kindness is easily reciprocated.
In fact it's a law that they must, it's the same Law Krishna employs when engaging us to Chant/Serve Him. We serve those who service us! It's not a charity, it's reciprocation. "1st. Deserve & then desier"(HDG Sri Srila Prahbupadah.

Be yourself.
Understand that people will always stand in opposition to you and your beliefs. No matter what.
Be at peace anyway.
Know Krishna will always be there.
Listen more than you talk. (Often people don't like to discuss religion so no need to share intimate details of your spiritual life with those uninterested in hearing them)
Please accept this humble advice taken from my experience.
Pls persevere. The opposition is simply to test our resolve. When the resolve becomes strong enough, and Krsna sees your struggle and is pleased with your efforts to reach Him, He will make your circumstances favourable such that you cannot imagine.
You appear to be very young, therefore everyone around you wants to protect you and give direction to your life. If you choose Krsna, you have to still study and do whatever is your prescribed duty based on your situation in life, simply by keeping Krsna in the center.
Pls continue to follow Krsna Consciousness. Your struggle is pleasing to Krsna. Please be polite with everyone around you at all times. They are all future devotees. They will come around to this path, based on how you respond to them.
