Question

I am eleven and I have a lot of body hair for my age. I have coarse, brown hair all over my arms and legs, which is very visible. I am insecure about it. How do I become more confident?

Accept yourself for who you are. You are beautiful and need to remember that. Every time you feel self-conscious, just remember all the good things about yourself. Hair is not the only thing about you, so focus on the other things that make you who you are.

Question

I am 10 and I have a ton of pubic hair. Is that natural? I went through puberty when I was 8.

Community Answer

Yes, it is normal. Some people just have more pubic hair than others. You can trim it with small scissors if you'd like, just be very careful.

Question

I am 11 years old and have upper lip hair; I've been bullied several times. My mom is scared to try and bleach it. What can I do?

Community Answer

Bleach can be dangerous so close to the mouth, a better option is to wax it off. If you cut a strip of wax down to a fitting size, it should remove it instantly. The more you wax it, the thinner and sparser the hair will become.

Question

How do I grow hair on my legs and arms?

Community Answer

There's nothing you can do to make hair grow on your arms and legs, it will happen naturally during puberty. If you've already been through puberty, you're probably just not a hairy person. It's mostly based on genetics.

Question

Will I become less attractive if I don't shave?

Community Answer

Not at all! First of all, attractiveness is subjective and secondly, you are beautiful whatever you do or don't do. Hair removal is something the beauty industry has convinced people is needed for beauty but it isn't. Hairs in themselves aren't unattractive, they show that you are no longer a kid, nothing more! You can even find some esthetism in it. Also, think about it: Why do we say hair on the head is okay (and in fact don't like it when there is none there!) but any other hair is suspect? Odd, no?
