Hi Casey,
It sounds to me that even tho you are living with your parents, they are not also Orthodox? And this means that if you want to go to an Orthodox church then you have to drive yourself? My heart goes out to you.
I recommend being very careful where ever you go especially if you go alone. I certainly would not. I suggest at least finding a friend to accompany you. And with your age & gender, I would not allow myself to be in the company of any man at any church alone. Consider me for example. Would your parents feel safe if they knew you were going to a place with people like me there?
Meanwhile, I suggest reading the message threads under the category of things not to do in church. You might be surprised at the seemingly strange things some people expect.
