I wish I was smart and sensible and nerdistic.

You only THINK you wish you were, it kills your rishta prospects.

I think Chotoo is saying being a nerd's no picnic. Nerds don't get rishtas.

I know several exhijabis, some of them regret taking hijab off and hope to put it on agaon, others don't.

I started wearing hijab when I was 10 and didn't like being stared at. As I get older, I pretty much have the same attitude as shadha

Go ahead and stare, you can't see a damn thing.

Back in middle school, I used to have really long hair. My ammi would braid it every morning for me because my arms weren't long enough But then at school, stupid immature boys would pull my hair from under my scarf Now, I just tuck it under my jilbab and have my hijab over it, if any boy ever thought to pull my hair, they would get a nice big kick where it hurts.

i like it, it keeps my afro under wraps...

No but alhamdulillah i had an urge to wear it when i was 11/12 and since then i think i only took it off for one night in Pakistan when i was 13 after much persausion from the family...and i regretted is so much! I did have days of negativity, everyone does thats the whole test about it. I've also had the jerks in school literally pulling it off yet it only makes your imaan stronger once you think about it logically.

Also my older sister stared wearing it when she went to uni and then my mum after hajj is subhanallah its Hijaabs al'round!

Walaikum as salaam

I wore hijab for a while until I got tired of getting my ass kicked from guys who would walk behind me and try to "mack it" so to speak, only to have me turn around and see I had a long beard and deep voice. After time of getting beat up and also being called the ugliest woman they'd ever seen, I decided to drop the hijab altogether to save my self esteem...or what little of it I had left anyway.

I never wore hijab when I was younger and nobody in my immediate family currently wears hijab.

I started wearing hijab for awhile despite my family's embarrassment but then stopped wearing it again.

Has anyone else been in this position? What made you eventually start wearing it again?

I'm trying to start wearing it again and insh'Allah I will. I feel weird without it but I don't want to deal with all the questions and comments that will arise if I do start wearing it again.

And for girls with really long hair (like waist length)...what do you do with your hair under the hijab?

been there. it sucked, the pressure everyone puts on you (especially your family, those who have the most influence on you). I did the same thing you did. Hopefully inshallah, I'll wear it again. I had this conversation with my best hijabi friend- she started wearing hijab when was around 13 or 14 I think, and hasn't taken it off. Then again, her mother is a niqaabi, and her family is really religious and they support her 100%. But that doesnt mean that she doesnt have the urge to take it off. But she says it is much easier for her that she has people who support her. If she ever says she wants to take it off, her family, her friends encourage her to keep it on.

...i took it off at recess time tho

{(31) And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.}
