I put mine on when I was 14 and didn't really understand hijab until years later. I do feel that hijab should not be pushed when you're young and vulnerable.

Every time you go out in a hijab and people recognize you as a Muslim you are saying ‘none has the right to be worshiped but Allah’. It’s powerful, and it does re-affirm your faith. Most important of all, more than anything else, you are doing what He requested of you.
