ok mommies i need some advice!! So yesterday was the first day of school for my baby.....she is 10 and started 5th grade. She came home upset saying that she was being made fun of for having "hairy" legs and being called a boy. I dont remember when i started shaving my legs. A part of me doesn't want her to start yet but i also dont want her being made fun of either. How should i go about this? Let her start shaving, try using Nair or just wait a little longer?

I started shaving for the exact same reason but kids made fun of my mustache too. I started shaving in 4th grade

I went through the same thing as a child. Its not fair. From elementary to high school. I am glad that now they see bullying as a problem. I learned as time went on. That if someone takes the time out just to say something negative about you that you mean something to them. Or other wise why would anyone brother?

@casstaylor0421 I vaguely remember we tested a small patch out first. Now they have the kind for sensitive skin and with aloe, they didn't have that back then. But I still use it from time to time and I use the sensitive one, I've never had any issues.

@emily526 did the Nair bother your skin at all??

Kids are so horrible now a days!!! She has been made fun of just about every year because she wears glasses.

When I was her age I had the same problem. My mother allowed me to use Nair (just up to the knee) until I got a little older then I began shaving.

Kids can be so mean! That would be a hard choice but if it upsets her I would let her shave. I remember starting to shave around 5th-6th grade
