I was born in Italy and in my city I was the first girl to wear hijab. It was a difficult moment for me to fit in a society where hijab is considered useless. I argued everyday with everyone about the importance of my religion. I was bullied and even isolated from the most in my city. It continued like that for 8 years. Then many Muslim girls followed me as an example and started to wear hijab. I am very happy that I took the initiative to wear the hijab there. Now I live in the UK, a place where Islam is praised and accepted by majority of population.
