Why would you be looking forward to your Confirmation?
Confirmation is the young adult/adult's decision to believe what the Catholic Church teaches and follow it. Upon making their Confirmation, the candidate will be considered an adult in the Catholic Church and be expected to live out their faith. The Holy Spirit gives gifts upon the reception of the Sacrament to help you to do this. If you do not believe what the Church teaches, do not receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Wait until you are ready to take the faith seriously, and in the meantime, learn as much as you can about what the Church teaches and talk out any questions you have with your parish priest, an RCIA teacher (there is probably a program at your local parish), another catechist, or someone at your parish who is very active in the parish and knows a lot about the Church. If your questions cannot be answered by one person, ask them to look it up for you, ask another person, or look it up yourself in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Catechism has many references to Bible verses and writings of the early apostles and Fathers of the Church.
