It's ok for anyone to be afraid to wear hijab............first make sure your friends and family know that you will be wearing it so they don't seem completely confused......JUST DO IT
This is the only way. Set a day and when that day comes, you have to do it. Don't back down. Don't give up. Do it.
Offer salat al-istikhara. Make du'a(prayer). Make lots of du'a. Do not stop making du'a. Ask Allah(GOD in Arabic) SWT to give you strength. Ask Him to make it easy for you. Ask Him to help you. He will, I swear it to you. He is always there for you when you turn to Him. Remember how much He has given you, how everything that you have, even your very existence, is due to Him. Remember that He deserves this from you. Remember the promise of Jannah(paradise). Remember that remaining patient and faithful through difficulty now may lead to Jannah, inshallah. Even if bad things happen, keep these thoughts in your mind. Don't worry about tomorrow. Just concentrate on getting through today, and leave tomorrow to Allah SWT until it gets here.
That's how you do it. Don't be afraid Just Do it!:)

Well first of all congratulations!! the religion you choose has been out there since the time of noah in this day and age we know it as Islam (Its just a banner and nothing else). Well wearing hijab is NOT a requirement. Which most people have misconceptions about it. The Qur'an requires women to dress modestly. The Arabs wear hijab because it was a part of their culture and NOT a part of religion. Although you may choose to wear if you wish to do so but its NOT mandatory.

Alhamdullillah, Islam is such a beautiful religion, it will lead you to be a better person, a better daughter to your parents.
The hijab allows a woman to move about outside the confines of her home with her attention to the task that she has set out to do. The Muslim woman does not try to impress anyone but Allah when outside of her home. She leaves her home as a self-confident part of the human race, not as a fashion-plate seeking stress and adoration in order to gain self-esteem.
When our intention to please Allah is sincere, everyday activities like dressing become an act of worship and means of attaining a sense of inner peace.
To answer the initial question of whether there is difficulty in practising hijab, the answer may be this. There are social impediments which exists to challenge our, but the optimism of attaining Allah's reward is much stronger force. Islam teaches and encourages us to serve to challenge our faith with the effect of strengthening it.
Every Muslim sister should choose to accept this challenge of putting into practise wholeheartedly without fear and with the promise of peace and contentment. That is Allah's promise.

I wonder what makes one choose a religion. It's bad enough that someone teaches it to us when we are children, before we can evaluate anything through a well developed reasoning ability. But to actually choose one, like one chooses to go see one movie instead of another is so strange. Well, to each his own. My suggestion is that you study Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism, Shamanism and then decide with your resoning faculty what is common to all religions and why a reasoning person would stay away from all of them.

dnt be afraid, you dnt have to wear hijab straight away or at all. im a muslim and i love islam but im not veiled i dnt think that means god will love me less. just convert and do as your heart directs you. many muslim women are religious but not veiled. beleive me sometimes the non- veiled ones are better than the ones who hide behind the higab as an excuse to do shameful acts if you understand what i mean. go ahead and dnt worry :) best of luck. islam is beautiful.

Congratulations! I am a muslim as well, but i was born and raised as one. I started wearing the hijab my freshamn year of high school (im now a senior). I think that you should probably take it slow. If you're just converting, it will be hard to take on the hijab. wait until your comfortable, then start to wear it. Maybe in the beginning just wear it sometimes, and then gradually wear it more often. thats what i did. now i wear it full time and im never going to stop. Wearing hijab gives me a real sense of pride in my religion.

Why would you want to change and give up the freedom you have in Christianity.You will never be as free as you are with Jesus. Please compare the two religions step by step. Your eyes will open.
Just because a woman covers, doesn't mean she is automatically entitled to respect, or has already pr oven the worth of her mind. Respect must be earned regardless of ones appearance and it is not earned through a dress code alone.

dear friend, with my sincerest n heartfelt wish i would like to tell u this, i am a hindu, but i would advise u to not convert. u may wonder y i say that... i might as well tell u to convert to hinduism n thats it a better choice if not christianity. the point is, if u were a muslim wanting to convert to christianity, i would still advise against it. dear friend, finding god is a personal journey. i believe that somethings that we have in life r becoz we r meant to have them. for example, we can't choose our parents, the race we r born into, the country we r born into, we can't change our genes. i feel u r blessed to have what u have coz u were meant to have it. u r born as a christian, so pls live n die as one. u don't need to convert. thepoint is all us fail to see the unity underlying all the religion. its love for god n mankind without prejudice for race, religion, n nationality. friend, find god in ur heart, not in churches, mosques, or temples. so go on this journey of Self discovery. pray to god from ur heart. to me converting is just putting another foot in the deep sinking mud of ignorance. love n the higher force will guide u my friend. i'll pray for u.
