Is it really a choice? This is why I refused to wear it. 5 years of bullying from the teachers in school for not wearing it. I was the only non hijabi in school.
At first they told me I would look prettier with my hair covered, I said no. Then they called my parents to (1/6)
school. I still said no. The ustazah then bought me a hijab and demanded I start wearing it the next day. I threw the hijab in the rubbish bin and stormed out of the classroom. (2/6)
As punishment for refusing to wear the hijab, I had to clean the Islamic education classroom everyday during break time, sometimes missing lunch. Of course, during that time the ustazah kept telling me I would go to hell for not wearing it. As a last resort, the she (3/6)
warned me that if I do not wear the hijab at home, my father and brothers will get horny seeing my body and hair, and they will want to have sex with me. I still refused to wear the hijab. (4/6)
This was 5 years of constant bullying from my teachers, substitute teachers, disciplinary teachers and the ustazah.
Keep in mind, I went to a school with a 95% non-muslim student population. (5/6)
In the end, I never wore it. I refused to wear the hijab. The only way I will allow that cloth to cover my hair is when they chop of my head and put it on themselves.
But if I did decide to put it on, was it really my choice? #LetUsTalk (6/6)

And btw. This kinda thinking doesn't shock me. My ustazah never equated a temple to a brothel before, but she has said horrible things about other religions and other gods. All the students simply laughed and said nothing. I didn't say anything because I was scared. I was the-
only non hijabi so they already hated me. Didn't want to make it worse.
The ustazah called the Sri Muruga statue at Batu caves "ultraman". Yes, she actually said that. She made the ultraman sign and make fun of it even more, calling Hindu gods "cartoon characters".
