Well I don't like to shave (scared lol) so I use nair, and I've used that since 11 and it works 4 me :)

Well saying your friends do as a bad way to go a out. Explain why YOU want to. I'm very hairy and always have been, I felt insecure about my and and legs when I was younger. It was my mom that encouraged me to shave when I was 10 or 11 because I didn't like my legs at all and I would never wear dresses or skirts. Explaining your reasoning why you want to in an adult manner. Parents look down on the 'because my friends do it' logic as that isn't saying anything about you except that you follow what your friends do.

Oh, asking I use Nair is a good option to. I can't cause it burns off mah skin after a few seconds (I am super sensitive for some reason to just nair -_-$

Veet is way better then nair! But I personally hate the smell of veet. But it does work so much better..

My parents are telling me that if I start shaving then I'll have to do it everyday and it'll grow back and all that stuff. I know that, that's why I want to start shaving, so I'll continue shaving. What do I say now?

11 or 12

Say that you already know that, and it won't be everyday. Settle to something like once or twice a week.
May 6, 2013
Erin M.
Tell them you're aware. And that you don't have to shave everyday, maybe twice a week or so depending on your hair growth. But it is your body honesty. Tell then to let you try for a month so they can see how it goes. Though in my personal opinion it's your body, your choice. If not shaving makes you feel uncomfortable and uncertain about yourself I think that's more of a problem then anything else, I wouldn't want my kid feeling that way.
