My friend had the same problem, her mom promised her she could start shaving when she turned 14 but then she changed her mind and wouldn't let her. i started shaving when i was in 6th grade, i called my mom when i was at my friends and just told her i was going to start shaving and every girl in my school was basically shaving already. My friend was with me and we were at the store so she bought shavers and told her mom she was going to do it. Depending on how old you are, if you're in 6th or older then it would probably be fine do take it the way my friend did. Just shave one day without telling her even, and then tell her so she can't keep you from doing it, since youve already done it. She should understand if your friends have done it, she needs to accept you growing up. If your younger you might want to give it some time. Its hard to keep up with the prickles every day. :)
talk to her and tell her about your problems. if she loves you, she will understand.
shave in private in the shower
she doesn't want you to grow up yet. Give her time, she will let you.
how old are you? i dont think theres a problem with young girls shaving i mean my gosh if u have hairy legs then you should shave them...i started shaving in the 5th grade.
The thing is that if you start shaving now, your hairs will get thicker & thicker eventually, but maybe u wanna try waxing, this way the hairs actually start getting weaker & weaker till' only very few and small hairs grow.
well how old are you? your mom just wants you to stay her little girl forever. instead of shaving try using nair hair remover lotion. put it on before you get in the shower and then once your in the shower rinse it off. you can even tell your mom you didn't shave. lol. thats what i did when i was 13 yrs old. (i played soccer at the time so it was not pretty)
talk to her about it, tell her its embarrasing, i started shaving at in 5th grade!
Well I think you should listen to you mom, and yes it is embarrassing that your legs have hairs in them while the other girls doesnt. But he reason for it is, because the hair on your legs, if shaven while premature, they will grow thicker so it will be worse for you.
However, if you feel that you really want to shave and need to, tell her about the embarrassment you go through. Maybe she will understand.
