al salaam aleikum, first i want to explain in a recent post that i wrote about the misconceptions of islam that i had a overly menacing tone, i did this so people here wouldn't think i though like that. im sorry if anyone found it offensive.
Anyway a week ago or so i posted a thread for advice on how to handle my self in my western school. The advice worked. Though i have full power to denie the things other kids want me to do i have close to 0 power to control what the teachers want me to do. One thing is singing love songs from the 60s, we are forced to do so in my school otherwise we get in trouble i have as as much in my ability to avoid singing these songs, though if the teacher knew i wasnt singing i would get in trouble. Any advice for how to handle this? Another one probably worse in the eyes of my brothers and sisters is me being placed next to the other gender, or behind the other gender blocking the veiw of the teacher (witch makes lowering my gaze look disrespectful to the teacher giving a lecture.) Yes i try moving my desk as far away as possible but i dont know how to change order.
One thing that would seem the most obvious answer would be to talk to my parents. In most cases i would, but my mom is Christian and my step father lets just say he doesn't respect Islam, but is okay with muslims. I feel a little afraid to tell them that im following my real fathers faith, i know thats a grave sin and everything to be so hypocritical.
This may asking for a little to much, but whats the best thing to do in this scenario? The option of leaving the school wouldnt do much as its the same scenario for every school in my area. Sorry if i sound a little to whinny.
