Stand Up For What You Believe In
By Sondus

When I first wore my hijab in my school, in England, some girls were staring at me. I became unconfident; I shouldn't have. My mom said to me: If they say everyone has rights, then every one has rights.

There was a girl that hated me. She was  sitting next to me and teasing me really badly. I said "Why are you doing this? Is it because of my headscarf? Well, I don't complain about your religion do I? And I like wearing it anyway, so YOU cannot change it."

I knew she was embarrssed,but she still teased me, so the next day, I went to the headmaster and told  her everything. I was happy!!! ALHAMDOLELAH!!!!!
