Hahaha

I had to ask myself the same thing when I was about thirteen. I'm almost fifteen now. Some of my friends did it, and I wasn't really comfortable wearing shorts and stuff. My mom told me not to do it because then it'll grow back thicker and darker.

I didn't take her advice and I shaved anyway. I guess she was right...but it doesn't really matter. Fortunately I was blessed. My hair grows back extremely slowly, so now I can go without shaving for a week and you can barely notice. And my hair is brown so it's not like I'm a blonde and you wouldn't notice anyway. I got lucky.

I say, as long as you're willing to keep up with the shaving, go for it. But if you really don't have that much hair or if you don't think you want to take the time to shave often, then you should probably wait.

you will know when you want to do that. dont rush life. take your time. IF it is not bothering you dont do it. you do know once you start shaving that is the end you will have to continue after that cause you will need to

now would be a good time

shave them when you are starting to get bugged or embarrased by the hair on your legs....that's what i did...i stopped showing my legs at all..always wore long jeans and sweats...then i shaved them and i was happy again...

really it's just when you think you have too much hair

I was 12 as well

i shaved at 12/13- just ask your mom to show you or ask her for a electric shaver-- (you can't cut yourself on one.) but you dont have to shave right away-- if you have light colored hair-- it doesnt show. but if you have dark hair-it shows alot.

if its hairy i shave bout 1 evry week..............

When it becomes unsightly or embarrassing to you. If it's very dark and noticeable I would start now. If it's not that bad yet, then let it go for a while.

well.. i started shaving my legs when i was 8 years old. i could not stand the hair on my legs.. i shave daily. at my school.. when girls dont have their legs shaved they normally get made fun of. sooo if you don't like them teasing you.. shave them. but if you don't want to shave them, then don't. just expect to get made fun of. whatever floats your boat.

i think now is a good time to start

When you want to. It isn't required to shave them, however it is customary that women do.

I started at 13. If the the hair is really noticeable shave them. The hair will grow back thicker though, so you are always going to have to shave them.

umm i would do whatever feels the most comfortable and if you just dont always feel like shaving just shave maybe once or twice a week if thats the case

shave them when you feel you are ready to shave them...its like once you shave them you can never go back haha...i started when i was nine...but i was just stupid and got in sooooooo much trouble...im in college now i see girls who's legs arnt shaven...and i dont look down upon them and think to myself "ew thats just gross" to shave or not shave was there choice...for me starting to shave at the age of nine was my choice...but listen to ur heart and make ur OWN choice

Shave them when you want to. If it's not an issue for you, then what's the rush. I personally was 12, it was toward the end of grade 7. I just wanted to do it in time before I started high school the next year. I was terrified that I would get teased in high school, but really I think nobody even cared. I knew girls when Iw as in year 12 and about to graduate who barealy ever shaved. One of my friends had barely there hairs on her legs and never shaves them. All she does is moisturises them so her legs dont look dull. It's up to you, not anyone else.

Now that I'm older and I live with my boyfriend, I only do them about once a week or so anyway and he doesn't care, and in winter I only do them if I know I will be wearing a skirt, otherwise I just cover them up by wearing jeans since it's cold anyway.

I just started shaving my legs this year and I'm also 12. I only shave when I know I'm going to be wearing shorts or a skirt. So I would recommend shaving to get them to stop making fun of you or just wear long pants. If your not shy (like me) then show of your legs just how they are and not care what other people say.
