Depressed; I Want To Take My Hijab Off

I've been to several Islamic countries

"While all versions of Islam suggest a woman should dress modestly, often covering her hair and body, Saudi Arabia is one of the only Muslim-majority countries that legally imposes a dress code (Iran is another). Women, foreign and local, must wear an abaya (a few get away with long coats) in public places. Muslim—often equated with Saudi—women are said to have to wear a headscarf; foreigners needn’t. The face need not be covered, much to the chagrin of some hardliners. There are margins and uncertainties, too. The western coastal of Jeddah is far more relaxed than Riyadh, with abayas often brightly coloured or worn open to expose the clothing beneath. At home with relatives, in compounds and all-female settings, women can shed their outer layers. At some posh private Red Sea resorts, they go in bikinis. While many women head to aeroplane lavatories just before landing, not being fully covered is tolerated in the airport."

^like I said, it's only specific areas where you aren't made to wear it
and I don't know about it really but it could be because you're a foreigner, like the article says

So you could go in the streets without your hijab if you wanted to?

Exactly, the quote of mine you put in speech marks has the word "most" in it and you claimed I said no Muslim men wear it when I clearly didn't.

Most Muslim men in the West don't wear it and I've been to several Islamic countries where again, the majority of Muslim men wore no such thing.

So, let me get this straight: you are claiming that you could choose to walk around without a hijab and abaya in a public place where the religious police will note this?

Of course , my friends do that and they r 16 and 17 .

Without Hijab for sure .
Abaya is a dress that all ladies here wear so not this but if I wore a dress similar to abaya that is totally okay .

The hijab is an enforcible, legal requirement in Saudi Arabia. It's great that it is your choice to wear it, because even if it was not, you still would.

Where in Saudi do you live?

oh my daze at least read my reply before saying something. I admitted i was wrong about the fact that u actually said most don't.As for the other part i assure you if u ever go to the uae (thats countries such as dubai, saudi arabia etc..) about 85%+ of the men who live there (not tourists) wear that
search it up if u dont believe and i don't mean other muslim countries such as bangladesh, pakistan etc. and even in the western countries some wear as i said my mosque teacher does just because u don't see it doesn't mean its not common.
as i said in my comment before your first 2 comments on this made it sound like it was bad for men to wear such headwear. that's the only reason i replied. As when we go to hajj it is mandatory to wear as i said before please at least read my whole comment instead of making me repeat it as if your a fool who needs to be told multiple times one thing.

Unfortunately for you, I know that this isn't true. You may be able to get away with a lot on the (quite reasonable) presumption that the odds of coming across someone who's lived in KSA on this website are almost nil, but I lived there for 10 years, and it's a straight out lie to say that you wouldn't get in trouble with the religious police if they were to see you in public not wearing an abaya and a hijab.

'Abaya is a dress that all ladies here wear [by choice, presumably].' Ha. The abaya isn't a dress in its own right -- it's worn on top of other clothes, hence why people tend to take it off when they're indoors. You don't do that with regular clothes, except in very particular circumstances.

Of course , my friends do that and they r 16 and 17 .

About the Islamic police or watever you guys call it , those are here to avoid random guys to hangout with random girls (eg. date and so on ) , avoid any non-islamic act ( eg. kissing or flirting ) .

I hope you got an idea about what is going on here .

Lived is a past tense hun

Urgh, you're trying to pass off horrible oppression as being for your own good.

Well , this is another wrong idea . Hijab is not forced , it could be the Abaya but not Hijab . Real life example , ik loads of people who hangout without hijab .

Bull**** Gods most merciful, remember that. Take it off? Just do it if you dont like it. Gods doesnt hate us, were his most beloved creation ! talk to God. Dont listen to this "islam is oppressive" crap.

And I know a countless number of girls who are forced to wear it. In fact, the other day, I was speaking with one of my friends and she was telling me how she did not like wearing the hijab. She felt like it was a burden. But guess what? She was afraid of taking it off. I will allow you to ask yourself why.

Every time someone tells me the hijab is not forced, I ask them this: how would her community, her friends, her family react if she chose to take the hijab off? You can sugar the matter all you like but the truth is clear: many women continue to wear it (and say they are wearing it 'for themselves') when in reality they are merely wearing it because they fear what would happen if they decided to remove it.

She is wrong, but I think she's talking about the case of legal enforcement of the hijab in Saudi Arabia, specifically.
