Hijab

Relationship: Im/migrant

The story begins with when my niece started going to 4th grade and started to wear hijab so that she could follow her religion. Hijab is a head covering worn in public by some Muslim women. The trouble began when she started to going to middle school and high school people were making fun about of her because of her hijab. From that time on she started to know some people didn't like her because of her hijab. When my niece started going to high school people were making fun about her because of her hijab. People are saying bad things front of her. People weren't being her friend.One day she started walking and hit a girl by accident while walking. That girl said to her “stupid arabic girl doesn't know how to say excuse me to any one. They just hitting people and think they can do anything they want.” That hurted my niece a lot. After that my niece stop wearing hijab in school. Then more people were being friends with her. Even those guys who were saying stuff about her before when she was wearing hijab. After 1 or 2 month she started to wear her hijab again because she started to realize those guy are not her real friend because if they wear her real they wouldn't say anything when was wearing hijab. Real friends don't care what you wear or how you look. They will still be your friends. Now my niece wears hijab all the time. She don’t care what people says or think of her. Now she wears her hijab all the time.
