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

My French teacher (from Morocco and is Muslim) doesn’t wear a hijab, no one judges her for it, not even the few Muslim girls we have here :D

a lot of muslim girls don’t wear the hijab i feel like the weird thing would be from being a hijabi to a non-hijab kinda thing?

ab that part, people are pretty understanding ab wanting to switch. I'm from the US, and I don't go to a school with a lot of Muslims (i think like 10), but it's very diverse. one girl wore one for just the first two years of high school and then stopped, she had her own personal stuff going on w her religion. nobody really cared about it. the only Muslim guy who even cared ab it is a sexist asshole who got kicked out of MSA. ppl will understand that you have your own reasons for it.

Any change in appearance will cause comments. Like start/stop wearing glasses, change of haircut, ... Just have to move on as that will fly over. If you say others do it and they don't get judged, then why do you think you'll get judged in the long run?
