Yes, when i was 16. i worked at Krogers grocery store, and some customers had complained about my b.o. what it was, was i was taking out the garbage, out back, and also sweating form retreving carts off the lot, and i guess that mixed together. i never could smell anything, and i showered daily. for a while i thought people were saying it to get me fired, because i was one of the only black guys working there.
But i think its a hormonal thing amongst teens, because were i work now, a young guy of 17 is going through the same thing.

Yes, in 9th grade. i was taken aside by my chorus teacher and told that several kids had complained about my b.o. She said she could smell it and told me I should be wearing deodorant.
My mother was a wack job who didn't believe in deodorant, so we had none in the house. So I shoplifted deodorant from CVS until I got a job when I was 15.
It sucks, being approached with something like that, especially at the behest of a bunch of 15yr olds. I also had a zit problem, which didn't help (my mom didn't believe in oxy 10 either!)
