I didn't tell my mom that I shaved my legs and I am 13. Should I tell her?!


Question: I didn't tell my mom that I shaved my legs and I am 13!. Should I tell her!?
Answers:
Yes!.!.!.I mean, I told my mom about it, but that's b/c my mom and I have a very open relationship and I knew that she wouldn't care about it!.
If you don't want to, you don't have to!. I mean, she is going to find out about it eventually anyways!. Also, 13 is about the right time to be doing that!.
Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes you should tell her! She'll notice sooner or later anyway!.!.!. and since you already did it there's really nothing she can do about it, she can't tell you no since you already shaved them!.

I think you should probably tell her that you want to sit down and talk about it though, and tell her that you feel uncomfortable with hairy legs, you feel mature enough to do it now, etc!. and let her know that you're not 9 anymore and you're growing into a young lady!. This way, she is less likely to punish you for it and will have more of a chance of being understanding!.

My 11 year old sister shaves her legs and my mom doesn't mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. Let her know why you decided to do it & not tell her!. Evidently you are now feeling some remorse!. Let her know that!. You want to keep the trust between you because as you get older you will want more privleges and that directly corresponds with how responsible you are!. The adult thing to do is to admit you should have consulted with her first!. She'll probably be upset at first, but you will get to shave again in the future--maybe just not as soon as you hoped!. Honesty is always better than trying to be deceitful!. Mom's have this great sense about figuring these things out, so she'll know soon enough & it's better she hear it from you ASAP!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on what kind of mother you have!. Is she the strict authoritarian type who demands that you don't wear make-up and won't allow you to get your ears pierced until you're 18!? If so, you may not want to tell her!.

I really don't see the problem with shaving your legs!. It's a personal choice!. If you want to tell her, go ahead and tell her!. If she gets upset with you, be sure to point out the fact that she doesn't enjoy having furry legs, and neither do you!. Like mother, like daughter!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well then I'm guessing you are a girl!. I asked my mom about shaving around 11 and most people have their mom explain to them first!. I do know some girls that just took the razor and shaved but they told their mom after!. You should tell her she can give you advice and she might be a little embarassed when she realizes she should have spoke to you about it already! Nothing bad can happen if you tell her she would realize that you are grown up! Hope I helped!

I am eleven and my mom says if it bothers you enough to shave every other day then SHAVE!!!
maby you should tell her but just get in the subject first and then talk about it a little, and then tell her and maby she wont be as mad!. she might be tooken by suprize but i think she'll get over it and you would have to start one day any wayright!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

yea,
its not bad
if your 13, yes shave your legs
i think 11 year olds should be shaving their legs honestly
its not like your pregnant
she would have no reason to ground you
in fact, if she gets mad, kiss up and say
"well, i was hoping you could teach me the right way to do it mommy" *puppy eyes*
it'll make her feel special
hope i helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why would she care!? You're a teenager and therefore responsible enought to take care of your own hygenic needs!. If you dont know what to say if she flips out (which would be gay of her) you can steal my last sentence, it will make you seem mature enough to handle the situation :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh wow!. Absolutely!. My daughter is 12 and she asked me if she could shave in 5th grade!. I told her when she got to 6th grade I would show her how to do it properly and we went to buy her her own razor and shaving cream!. I don't know if you and your mother have the same type of relationship, but if so she probably would like to enjoy your growing into a young lady with you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was ten when I shaved my legs!. I did not tell my mom, but she knew!. I am sure that she probably already knows!. Moms are not as stupid as you think!. They were once your age, and they of all people know what you are going through!. So, yes go ahead and tell her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When i was 13, my mom never let me shave!.
but i did it on my own!.
she got kinda mad lol!.

But you really should tell her/
and if she does get upset, tell her you were embarassed by it and you think that you're old enough already!.

Goodluck & Becareful not to cut yourself! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

two possible answer i can give:

Yes, because if you don't she might as well shave yours!.!.!.

and secondly

No, cause it depends if your a guy or a girl!.!.!.

Your mom will probably tell you its ok to start early cause when will you shave when your 50!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

who cares what your mom thinks!!!! lol your a pre-teen!! your growing up!.!. she should be fine with it!. i'm 15 and i never told my mom straight out that i started shaving (at 11) i just asked her to please buy you some razors!.!.!. that's what i did andshe's fine with itWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes you should tell her my daugter did the same thing only she accidently shaved a mole or freckle that started to bleed!. You are at a crucial age and shaving is important, I do beleive your mother will understand!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nah!. It is a small thing!. As long as you aren't really rebellious in other ways, this small thing you can keep to yourself!. Just remember that on bigger things you need to be more up front!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your a teenager you should be shaving now I don't see the problem with telling her, she needs to know your growing up anyways!.!.and even if you don't tell her I don't see the big deal either it's your decisionWww@Answer-Health@Com

Even if you do tell her there is no way that she could be mad at you!.
You're growing up and sooner or later you had to do it!.
Dont worry, Im positive that she wont mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why should you!? I don't see why she needs to know, I mean there is nothing wrong at all with shaving your legs!. If you really think you should go ahead but I don't think you need to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There shouldn't be a reason not to tell her!. I know a lot of people who started shaving in 5th grade!. 13 is a decent age to start shaving and it shouldn't matter!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes for sure!. Some mothers want to know when their daughters do something like that for the first time!. My mother bought me a special womans shaver after I told her!. 13 is the right ageWww@Answer-Health@Com

Of course you have to keep the lines of communication open with your mom and let her know why you shaved your legs!. I wouldn't think she would be that upset!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not really, what you do to your body is your decision ,besides its really not as big as some mothers an daughters think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

shaving your legs is something you are doing for yourself!. if you don't want her her know keep doing whar your doing or you can tell her that you're starting to shave now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

she'll notice eventually!. tell her and maybe she can help you out and buy razors and shaving cream!. although it took my mom two months to notice my arms!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
