No, no no! Do not shave it! It will only grow back longer, darker and coarser. If it is really bad and you really can't stand hairy arms any longer then you could bleach the hairs blonde so that they are less visible. If that's still not suitable for you then you could use a waxing solution such as nair or veet but you will have to keep on following through with that procedure. I'm sure your mother will have similar arms to you. Talk to her and ask what she does.

dont shave it. bleach it. there are special lotions made for girls with dark, thick arm hair that will lighten it, so you have 2 options that ARE NOT permanent problems, lotion, or bleach good luck

Okay first of all, NEVER, I repeat, NEVER shave hair on your arms, it makes the hair disappear, but when it grows back its a lot of hard work to manage. What I suggest is to go to some kinda of store(browse a bit)and find hair bleach, it makes hair ANYWHERE less noticeable, its a cream so its pretty safe for your skin, and its almost permanent because if your arm hair is done growing after you bleach them then there is nothing to see right? Right...another option is laser hair removal, but DO NOT try it until you are MUCH older, and it also costs a lot. Hope I helped happy
