Im about to start junior year at school and recently got inspired to start wearing the hijab full time!
Hi! Im Amal and I am an Australian Palestinian girl currently living in Melbourne.
Here I will be taking you along side of my journey!
Obviously wearing the hijab now I face with criticism, judgement, and comments from classmates, neighbour's, strangers etc.
What is on her head...
But its okay! There are other people who care and make you feel accepted.
Hey its okay! Just ignore them they aren't worth being sad over.
Some strategies that I do to help when Im feeling down from the comments I get are: 1. distracting myself2. working out in the gym3. taking a nap or make myself some food!
In the end I have my family and close friends as my support network for when I need to talk!
