I understand what you're saying :(. My mom didn't want me to shave either when I was 11, but my P.E. shorts showed my legs. Do you know what his reasons are for not wanting you to shave? Perhaps he's worried that by shaving your legs, you're trying to look attractive for boys and he's not ready for that yet? Explain that when your legs are hairy it's embarrassing. Not just in front of boys, but girls too. What I actually did, was go to my school counselor and asked her how to handle the situation. Maybe she/he can help you make a compromise with your dad, or help explain that shaving doesn't have to be a big deal for someone your age.
good luck!

where is your mom? personally i would just do it. make sure he isn't there and have at it. you could use the Veet stuff, its razor less and works pretty well. Then you won't have the danger of cutting yourself with the razor.

I know how you feel sweetie. It used to be like that for me...but let it be known that you don't get hairier...you still have the same hair follicoles. When your legs get too hairy that is that the time to shave...so that you can save yourself the embarrassment! :)

Unless your religion forbids you to shave (I think there is a religion that forbids women to shave, but I could be wrong), your dad has to know that you'll need to start shaving soon. I say if you feel self conscious about it, then do it. I think jr high is a good time to start....like when you start jr high....so 5th-7th grades.

I started when I was i think 11..... 12? idk but just do it its perfectly norm!!! and pluc youll get nice smooth legs lol

My daughter is 7 and I shave her legs. so if you need go for it. I would just wear stocking till you leave for school and wear long pants around the house

Tell you Dad that it embarrasses you to have that much hair on your legs and you don't feel feminine.

When Dad's find out that you are shaving your legs, they automatically think that you are growing up too fast, and next...you'll be dating, and then curious about sex, or worse....PREGNANT! This is obviously a fear that they need to get over.

No worries, just tell him that you're not going to do all of those other things...you're just going to shave your legs because the hair embarrasses you. Hopefully he'll understand.

I've been shaving my legs ever since 4th grade. If you really need to shave them, don't ask your dad for approval. After all, it is YOUR body. Shave it off, because that's what your body deserves!

if u have hair shave
