Should i shave my legs?!
Question: I'm 12 years old
Answers: I'm 12 years old
What ever you feel is right.
I asked my mom before i did.
I think i started around 12/13
yes
Sure. Ask your mom what she thinks too.
When I was in middle school I did all I could to shave my legs. Now I never shave. I'm 21.
So do what you want! Go for it if it'll make you feel better about yourself. It's not like you're slathering pancake-batter make up all over your face. I think it's completely harmless. Ask your mom first though.=)
If you want to. I started shaving around age 12-13 because i the other girls were taking the michael out of one girl with really dense hairy legs and i didnt want them to turn on me!
It's a hassle though so once you start doing it you cant stop! So yeah if it's bothering you start, if you dont really mind so much then there's no harm in putting it off. Shaven legs grow back darker, thicker and spiky hairs whilst your unshaven hairs are probably not very noticeable.
If you really want to.
Just tell your mom and see if its ok with her.
She should be ok with it.
If you dont want to shave then dont worry about it.

YES
yes i think you should, if you have been thinking about it alot, or are embarrassed about your hair on your legs now, then yes you should. you should also talk to your mom. you will want her/or you to buy a new razor and some shaving cream (or you could just use your body wash)
(1)Start by shaving at the end of your shower, when the hair is the softest. lather on the cream or body wash.
(2)Next, because this is your first time shaving, and you have alot of hair, shave downward, sharting just below the knee and go down in the direction of your hair to your ankle. be esspecially careful when shaving along the shin bone.
(3)now you want to shave upwards, starting at your ankle and going up to just below the knee.
(4)now you want to shave your knee. have your knee bent and shave it very gently.
(5) now you have to decide whether or not you want to shave your thighs. i do, but some people dont. if you do just shave them like you shaved your lower leg.
(6) dont forget the back of your leg and the sides/back of your knee!
(7)now your done! after your out of the shower, dry off and apply lotion or baby oil to your silky smooth legs! dont worry if you have a few minor tiny cuts the first few times.
*** you can skip step 2 after your first time
good luck, hope i helped!!! im 14, and started shaving when i was about 11 befor sixth grade.
edit: you CAN stop shaving after you started. the hair grows just as fast and is just as course. it may look/feel courser because of the stubble but if you let it grow as long as it was before you shaved it would look the same. thats all just a myth :D
i think so but it depends on how hairy your legs are
if shaving your legs makes you feel better about yourself do it. Ask your mom what she thinks about it, like "Hey mom, what would you think i start shaving my legs?" make her think like it's her idea.
if she doesn't fall for it, tell her that your hairy legs are hurting your self-steem, and that you don't want to be made fun of by others anymore. even if you are not, just give her a guilt trip. hope it works.
