How do I tell her she smells?

Question

There's this girl that I sit next to in my medicines through time class, and she has a real bad b.o problem. It makes me feel sick every lesson but I don't know what to do.

I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I don't want to feel sick every lesson. Please. Can anybody suggest what I should do?

Answer 1

TELL HER TO GET SOME DEODORANT or maybe u cud just slip her some under the desk LMAO

Answer 2

Maybe you could arrive a bit early and leave a nice letter telling her the the lotion or perfume she's wearing is offensive and causing illness, and that you are asking on behalf of yourself (the author) and others could she please tune it down some. sign annoymous classmate, leave the letter at her area and come back to class after she has arrived, that will help keep you from feeling guilty if she over reacts to the request to freshen up letter.
However it can also be a medical problem that she isn't aware of since it a natrual daily occurance with her, then i would speak with the instructor about having a topic pretaining to that subject, then it may come to her attention, and spar her futher humiliation as well as any patron she may incounter in the future

After class, ask if you can talk to her in private. Then out of earshot of everyone else, tell her you think she is very nice, but you have someothing personal to tell her and ask if you can speak to her frankly. If she says yes, then say "I don't want to hurt your feelings, cause I am sure you are a nice person, but dear, I can smell your bo and I know if you knew, you would want to do something about it, so people don't start making fun of you or whatever. I am telling you as a friend, so you can do something to make it stop." Hopefully she will, and hopefully she will understand you have done a kindness to her. Others will just smell and snicker. She might be blissfully unaware of her own odor, or maybe not being careful about cleaning up herself from a phys ed class or something. Who knows, but do take her aside and tell her quielty. If she smells better next time, follow up with"gosh you smell sooooooooooooo good!" So she knows you noticed, and not to embarass her. Good luck!

Answer 4

Try getting to class early and sitting away from her. If there's a problem with this, talk to the teacher in private about it. They are there to answer problems and help you, even if they are problems such as "B.O".

If anything, he can e-mail her parents, or get the nurse or another school figure in the psychology field to talk to her.

Good luck.

Answer 5

I am with everyone else ,If she is your friend tell her straight up with out being to harsh.And if she not your friend start a conversation with her about how you like a woman's body to smell sweet and how your x or your present gf would take care of her body and that you found that guy's are attracted to girl's who keep their self up .I am assuming that she doesn't have a bf. You might just be helping her out.Sometime when you stew in your own funk for a long time your senses become familiar with it ,until then find your self another seat.Hope i helped.

I think the best thing is to be honest with her. She may not realize that her scent is making you sick. She may not be able to take care of the problem on her own. She may not know the rules of good hygiene. If you take her to the side and have a conversation with her, she may respect you more. You seem like a nice person and you don't want people to start talking about her and make things worse. You may be helping her out. If she gets mad, then at least you tried. It would embarrass me, but I would appreciate if someone told me something like that that I needed to take care of. I'd rather know then let it go on and on and be known as someone who didn't know how to take care of themselves.

Answer 7

Ouch. Do ya'll have lockers? maybe find out which one is hers and slip a note into it - but be kind in what you say. You don't want to hurt her, nor embarrass yourself. Don't sign the note. Just say something like: "I don't want to hurt your feelings, but somethings you have a body odor that's not agreeable. I'm writing a note, instead of talking to you, because I don't want to embarrass you. I just thought you'd want to know so you can work on it. I'm only trying to help." Or something like that.

If you don't have lockers, go to the school nurse. You don't want to draw additional attention to the girl.

good luck!

Answer 8

Talk to your teacher or prof. about how you feel, maybe there is an experiment she or he can suggest to all of you that includes this person that can help her with her problem.
I am sure she is aware of it more than you are, so see if you can get help from your teacher. All teachers love a good challenge, well, the good teachers do!
Good luck and God Bless

Answer 9

i would get her away from the ears of others and woman to woman, tell her the problem. i wouldn't be offended if i was her and i was told about my problem. i know if i had a b.o. problem i'd like to be told because i wouldn't want to be ridiculed by others. good luck, be a friend and tell her.
