(obviously don't smile and be friendly too much with guys, who are terminally afflicted with 'she fancies me' delusions lol).
well I've been feeling like literally 'the only hijabi in the village' so I'm glad there's at least 2 of us now!
about your parents, maybe they brought you up with good values, and belief in God - so you should make it clear to them that you haven't rejected these values at all. Islam teaches us to live a moral life, and to worship God. as for hijab....how could a Christian possibly object to modesty? Hijab is dignity and self-respect alhamdulillah. Also remember that Allah ta'ala requires us to have unlimited patience and kindness with parents, although of course we do not obey them in anything displeasing to God.

More like in ASDA or at Weymouth College.
When ever I see a guy, my eyes goes on to the floor.
The 1st evening I wore my Hijab outside my house, I got yelled at by some Wey Vally kids that live on my road but I just walked quickly on and igonor them. I've been on a bus full of them and most of them just look out of instrest and say nothing to me.
At college there is a few lads that do winded me up but they did it when I was Christian too, so I just ignor them too. All my teachers and course friends are happy with me.
My parents are my ex-foster parents and I've known them for 15 years now. That is 3/4 of my life. They did bring me up on good values, unlike a lot of people my age. I did explain to them that I still believe in God but my views on Jesus (pbuh) is differant from them now. I do respected them as they are family to me. I'm going to not bring up my faith to much at family occations as I am now the odd one out, apart from my bother that does not believe in God at all. I will be happy if they don't question my faith after today. I have told them that I came take my Hijab off at there house if I want to.
I feel happier and safer as a person when I'm out and about because I cover my body up from head to toe, with only my face and hands showing.
Allah (stw) is blessing me with courage, inerstrength, compation, inerpeace and selfcontol over myself.
