ur mom is right that is u do shave, ur hair will grow faster and at a different texture. if u have belly hair and hair onm ur thies then i think u should get it waxed, its painful but its better then shaving! and 12 yrs. old is an okay age to do that, in my opinion.

This reminds me when I was hitting adolescence and was scared that my kid sister was pestering my mom to let her shave her armpits, while I had just begun to grow my manly armpit hair! (boys usually hit their growth spurts after girls do...mine came at 14)
I clearly remember it was June, because school was ending for the summer in New York, and she wanted to go swimming with her friends at parties, but didn't want her hair to show!
One thing is for sure, once you start shaving, it will not be easy to stop. After I left the Army, I grew a beard just for the heck of it!
I guess my advice would be to shave if you gotta, but just not a whole lotta. Shave your pits and legs up to the knee, but skip the belly and thigh-high shaving. Once you start, you won't wanna stop! Save it for later, you are only 12. There will still be time to shave. lol :)

My mother wanted me to wait till I was 16 and I was so mortified I wore a sweater and long pants in the summer and looked like a geek!
Please talk to your mother again and ask for her permission. Let her know how much it embarrasses you and could she help you ease that embarrassment by reconsidering. Maybe start out with just your thighs and belly fuzz? Ask if you can go to an esthetician for a consult on the best way to handle it?

When your mom lets you THEN you should start to shave. When i was younger i really wanted to shave because this guy said "You have a lot of hair on your legs!" i started shaving after that. but i shouldn't have let him persuade me- just feel confident in yourself no matter what!
Remember once you start to shave, you have to keep on doing it!
** TIP- for the hair on your thighs i would wear boardshorts. GOOD LUCK!

if you really dont like that at all try and really talk to your mom to at least let you shave your belly i guess if she still says no and you really want to do it talk to someone else in your family that can help you with that like an older cousin or a sister but its better just to wait like your mom said

Shave your legs but not your stomach because you'll get bigger hairs in your stomach.

If you would feel better about yourself, then shave.
