It wasn't me who put your post up for review, that would have been automatic because you mentioned the s word, which is what I am trying to tell you.
I've just had a post up for review myself, when I was trying to reply to you.
Can my parents force me wear a hijab etc. and completely control everything i do and my actions if I'm under 18 and living in their house?
Hello!
They can't say 'it's the law you must obey us' at all! However, its in a grey area as to whether their treatment of you is legal (as in, whether or not anything they do can be considered abuse which is illegal like forcing you by threatening to kick you out (coercion)/with violence/by making you feel scared (intimidation))
They might try to and it might not technically be illegal, but there is no law saying you have to listen to them!
With regards to the Hijab, of course, a big part of Islam is to respect your parents and be kind to them but there is no force in Islam, you should wear the Hijab if you feel like it and (not because your parents want you to).
Parents will always try and impose stuff on their teenagers and teenagers will always disobey them. However if it is making you uncomfortable, sit and talk to them about boundaries if possible. Hold your ground, you're your own person, stay resilient and hang in there! You'll thank yourself later! <3
For them to physically force you to wear it would be difficult, but whatever they do for punishment is up to them. Legally I don’t know what you can do, though it is a question you could ask childline? There is an online chat which is much less intimidating than calling. https://www.childline.org.uk/get-support/contacting-childline/
If it was me, I would sit down with them and try and have an open and honest discussion about how it makes you feel. In an ideal world that’s all it would take, but it might not be the case. Hopefully they let you and you can start to feel happier soon.
