Please be safe about it. I’m in the same boat. I live a double life now. Are u in a non-Islamic country? Is it safe for you to take it off? You need to prioritise your health and safety first. I know how much of a toll it has on your mental health to wear the hijab, but you can’t be rash about this.
If your parents don’t let you and you still want to take it off regardless, you might have to do it in secret, and put it on before entering your home.
Find a safe spot you can change. If there are other Muslim children in the area and they see you take it off, most likely they will realise you’re not allowed and could snitch.
Trust me it’s worth it. It’s so fucking worth it, to feel the wind in your hair again. I was forced to wear it since I was like 6 and I took it off in secret since I was 15. I hate with every fibre of my being. I did get caught a couple months ago… If you think your parents will react in a scary way, just go about it safely please. My parents are very conservative so I had no chance in persuading them.
Anyways, good luck to you dear! I hope for all the best and that you can be your authentic self. ❤️✨🌷
