i hear all the time: bachem cover up, don't wear that much makeup. this is how my peers are, this is where i live. how can i incorporate my religion and culture without upsetting anyone in my family. im faced with this dilemma everyday and i know that my family thinks its because i am half american. how can i convince them otherwise? i know perfect farsi, i pray, how else can i possibly proove myself to them?

SWEEHEART

i live in the UK and man from the 18 years i lived here its f"%^ shame tooo seee tht islam is drifting!

kassam i went t my mates house to drop her off and i had to pass my schol my old school welll it was hometime and its a mix school but damn!

the things i saw im lik i left lik 2 years ago we wernt tht bad u should of seeen these girls! psh screw the makup the clothes they were wearing man im lik whoah migth aswell walk naked!

well some were my younegr mates who actually attented and man they changed sooooo msuch in the last two years!

and u knw what sheeshak.ther only 11 to 16!

and it shocks me!

anyways welll come on every1 is lik tht all parents lik oh watch what ur wearin this and tht but u see i respect their wishes i can belike those sluts but nope.i may not u knw pray enough as i should but girl i try to be the goood daughter for my folks as i knw they are hurt from my brothers!

soo sweetheart u dont want ppl to hate u just do it to the maximum

I know wht u mean qand! Seems like we  all have/had the same problem. If u are younger than 18 than its very hard for u to understand. But once u are at a certain age than this peer pressure business will go away! ull will be more mature and will be able to understand about the whole religion and culture part of it all. Hope I was a bit help qand!

Sheeshak , are you an american or Afghan?

im 100% afghan that was my friend on that account but she doesnt use it, it was just that once because she wanted to see what you guys would say. but she is half american half afghan.

what she asking is from her peers is a story started with first mankind  thats how parents are

i think she will know the answer fully when she is one too

cant explain such things you need to be there and then

ppl saying we will be diffrent from our parents, they find out later that they are not
