How to lessen my hair so I don't get teased?

I am 14 years old and I have very low self esteem because I am hairier than the normal person.It is really hard to deal with those nasty comments and questions like “you are so hairy!” “why are you so hairy!?!?” every day I come home and I look in the mirror I cry. I just dont understand why it would be so dufficult to accept someone like me I have not done anything wrong and I am a really nice person. There are 2 reasons I dont want to wax it off. Firstly, people would tease me that I got it removed and if it is growing back it would be prickly. I have a little mustache, sideburns, my forehead, and a lot on my arm (not underarm) I really need help from people I dont know because it would be strange asking a person I know. I hope you can really think about how much it hurts me and give me advise -thanks in advance :)

Answer #1

me too.

I have a lot of hair on my arms, more than boys at my age. im 13, a girl.

my whole life, I’ve been called names like “chewbacca” or “monkey girl”. I would get excluded from groups and if I asked them WHY, they would reply “B.c your a hairy freak, not like that pretty and normal girl over there.”

im over that stuff b.c I have a very strong self esteem.

it took me yr. to get over this but I still get frustrated when I look at MIYAVI’s arms and they are MILKY white.

many people have called me “pretty”.

and I know im pretty b.c God made me.

but I jsut don’t want to be hairy~ I have hair ALLL over my arms (around the top, it’s thin, but it;s all over the place), stomache (ALLL OVER), breasts, few on my face (u cnt even see it unless your close enough to hear my nose XD), hands, fingers, toes. it’s disgusting for me to see it.

but SHINE GIRL.

we girls can accomplish so much~

im the most popular girl now b.c im good at the guitar (not like playing easy chords like c,a,g, but im really good)

Answer #2

I’m a hairy guy. I’m not OD hairy like how they portray Austin Powers. But my legs are really hairy and my arms are. I have a little hair on my upper chest and just hair like on my stomach and such. I hardly have any back hair though. My aunt calls me Wolverine, and I get hairy jokes from people all the time. I’m 18. I used to let it bother me. People would call me short because I’m 5’7’’ and such. After awhile, you realize that in some countries people don’t mind people who have hair. Some countries it is fine and socialably accepted to be hairy. America has a way of making people feel as if they have to be a Barbie or Ken doll, when in acutality, what makes us great is our diversity. I’ve learned at 18, not to let people intimidate you, or make you feel bad about yourself. Believe or not, life moves on after middle school, or high school. Most of those people you won’t even see anymore, and you will look back and wonder why you cared what they said. So keep your chin up. You are beautiful unlike anyone else because you are you, and you are unique, and wonderfully made.

Answer #3

well first of all if you save your money you can get lazer hair removal where it never grows back if your really that low self asteemed about it. People arte so dumb these days! they dont take you for who you are. They jsut put people down to make them feel better about themselves. but if you forget about what people think then it will be a whole lot better.

Answer #4

same with me. just laugh it off ya know? it works trust me. and by the way, I shave my arms. it does grow back prickly, but then you just shave again. pluck your mustache, it wont grow back prickly

Answer #5

Hey Hun, I understand, Im not really hairy or anything but I use nair for above my lip. (mustache part)And it works really well! If you buy this, make sure you get it for your face, and follow the directioins! Don’t leave it on for too long or it might burn. But I never burn myself because I make sure I follow the directions. So, when your done applying it, just wait for as long as it says, and then wipe it off. It will be very smooth, and will last a while. Just do the same thing when it comes back. Good Luck… and I hope I helped you out.

At the age of 14, people are mean. I would love to say that as you get older people seem to get nicer and more mature but that is not always the case. My friend has a huge forehead, and I made fun of him for it in a joking manner the other day. He responded, “my forehead is beautiful and shiny to perfection” he knows who he is and confidence is sexy. Next time someone comes up to you and calls you hairy, just thank them for pointing out the obvious… say, “I know, thanks.” or “Yup, and its great- im much warmer” turn the negative into a positive because if they know it bothers you, they will continue to make fun of you.. good luck kiddo

when you wax your body hair, it doesn’t grow back prickly. THAT only happens when you shave it. and who cares what other people think? other people are stupid.
