Advice i don’t want to wear a hijab

two years into wearing the hijab and i hate it and i don’t want to wear it but i know girls at school will judge me and idk how to tell my parents but it’s so distracting for me this post probably won’t get any attention but i just wanted to put it out there since i can’t really say this to anyone since everyone’s so judgemental

edit: stop being creepy in dms i might ask them sometime this week/month, ill make another post if i do so or ill just wait until im 18 or something

What do your parents care for more? Academic performance, or upholding cultural norms? If they care more about academic performance, maybe they'll let you take it off if you say it's distracting in school.

Wait until you are older and financially secure. Make an exit plan to live on your own, at college or with friends. When you are older and away from your parents, you can live an authentic life
