Advice for teens..?

hey people on yahoo answers!!





ok, so i currently wear hijab to school, im 13, and in 7th grade.





(dont say those lame a** answers that dont help me at all so dont even bother answering if you're gonna do that)





anyway, my problem is that im confused whether i should keep wearing it or wear it at the end of 8th grade or in 9th grade.


yes, i believe in wearing the hijab and not just because my religion told me to


so i need advice on what i should do


also, if i DO take it off, i would need permission from my parents so how would i tell them in a way they would understand??





i need help here. so give serious, helpful answers


thank uAdvice for teens..?
It really depends on why you feel you need to take it off. If its because you feel its not cool enough than maybe you can alter it in some way which makes you feel better about wearing it. If its because you don't believe you should be wearing it than that's a different story because no one can force you to continue. It took me a long time of trial and error before I was happy with which style of hijab I wanted to wear and I don't let anyone deter me from it because it makes me aware at all times to keep on the straight path. Its very hard to wear a hijab. It takes alot of guts and you really have to want to do it or else you will just resent it so weigh your pros and cons and see what you can live with. Telling your parents will probably be hard especially if they are very religious but be strong and let them know that this may be a trial period for you. Also explain to them your true feelings maybe they can help you. Being a teenager is hard enough in life so I can understand how wearing the hijab can be even more difficult. There are a few videos on youtube with different styles of hijab that are very pretty. Also the Humza Yusuf video on hijab is my favorite.Advice for teens..?
you have to be comfortable in your hijab some muslim women prefer to have it off others feel closer to god and feel there following what has been taught to them. in the end it will have to be your decision talk to god and seek within your self how you feel about wearing it.





You will get the answer you are seeking. Never do anything thats not coming from your heart you are the one wearing it . yes maybe not everyone see's it as normal but they are not you.





good luck
Tough question.


In this day and age, choice is yours. Your parents authority has priority...how do you discuss most of the things going on in your life with them.


Approach them with respect. At 13 you have enough intelligence to carry on a conversation with them.


Look at your pros and your cons.


Why are you even questioning.


Peer pressure at all levels has been in existence forever.


How you address this situation is your choice.


How you resolve it can have the input of counselors (your parents) guidance.


Then the choice is still yours.
you shoudlnt need permission from your parents


if you want to wear it, wear it.


Islam is the choice of having freedom.
i know a couple cool muslim girls and they wear their hijab they dont let it hold them back so if you beleive in it then youre just keep it and you can save yourself the argument with your parents (it would probably be a tough one.)
i guess a hijab is a religious garment...





i'm in highschool and there are people who wear them. if you believe in wearing it, then keep wearing it.
Here is my advice: think into the future and consider if you think you will ever regret not wearing it. If you think you will regret not wearing it, then keep wearing it. Don't worry about what other people think about it. If you believe in wearing it, then they should respect you for that. And if they don't...forget about them!
i wear one to school right now, in 11th grade, 16.


well if you started to wear it and you believe in it, just keep on wearing it.


i know girls who have taken it off to the question and criticism of others, but if you really truly feel that way go ahead i guess.


i would advise you keep it on of course (blocks bad hair days)


and you can always wear colourful, matchy ones.


i would understand if your parents resented your decision. if you truly believe that you can't take it anymore and people are bullying you or whatever I'm sure they ll understand. but if everyones already used to you with it and you have friends and whatnot, there's no point in taking it off. There was no point in starting to wear it if you were going to take it off later anyways.
Are you confused about wearing it because some one is giving you trouble in school? If that's the case, then you might want to let a teacher or principle know. No one should make you feel bad about your beliefs. In fact, you're lucky because here you're allowed to wear it. In France and Turkey, religious dress is banned from public schools.





In any case, I've always thought it was really cool-looking. When I was in middle school, there were two sisters on my basketball team who wore head scarves and kicked butt at basketball! I admire that kind of confidence and religious conviction. I was especially impressed when I was 13 because I was so insecure about clothes and those kinds of things, but they were so confident.





For me, middle school was really hard because students were so mean to each other. I was always worried about how I looked and acted. But I think you should be proud of what you believe and dress however you like.





If you're thinking about not wearing it just because you don't like the way it looks or something, I guess that's your personal choice. As for your parents, tell them honestly how you feel. They want you to be happy in the long run, remember that, but they also want the best for you. And unfortunately, what might make you happy for maybe a month won't be the best thing for you in the long run. So think about this. It's your decision. Good luck. :)
keep it on its part of ur religion!
