you need deodorant or you're gonna start stinking. i guess they want you to smell bad so the guys wont want you lol. get all stinky when you come home from school and such and then hang around your parents. hopefully they'll get fed up and give in. but if youre buying stuff with your friend why not just buy deodorant with her too?

One if you wear heels too early they can cause you foot problems. Padded bras, well those are the only ones they have in my size so I can't help you there. Tell your mom you are being made fun of for not wearing deodorant and not shaving. That should help. Makeup, well I see it more as a hassle than anything, look on the brightside you have an excuse to be lazy and you will have less pimples this way.

I understand it is hard being a teenager. Your mom might be having trouble with the fact that her "little girl" is a teenager now. Something you can do until she allows you to use deodorant, is use some sort of talcum powder or baby powder. This way you feel comfortable and it shouldn't upset your mom. Be patient with her she is going through changes with you and it may be hard for her to. Best luck

It sounds like you mom just isn't ready for you to grow up. You are going to be dealing with that for years. Unfortunately if you're mom won't budge you are probably going to have to rebel a little. Don't cause a huge uproar, just do what you are doing. You could always try and sit down and talk to her calmly. I'm 21 and I've noticed that if I sit down and talk to my mom she will listen to me a little better. Don't yell though because then she will just get defensive.

Approach your mom again and remind her that your not that little girl anymore that she thinks you are. and if that doesn't work get some of your dirty shirts out of the hamper and have her smell them and see her reaction and then ask again for deoderant. I don't see why you shouldn't wear it bc i started wearing deoderant in like 5th grade. (I'm in 9th), so I think you need to approach her differently. Or you could start wearing hers if you think you really need it.

...wow! Wtf is wrong with deodorant or shaving. Sounds like to me that your mom is so scared of you finding someone that she wants you to smell bad and look like a man so guys will stay away from you. This may sound hard to do, but I think it's about time you need to confront your mom.
This is the problem with some parents today. They are so strict on their kids, thinking that it will "protect" them, but in the end it leaves them left in the dark and clueless to what they should do.
No offence, but I'm guessing your mom is a religious fanatic?
