I don;t want to hurt her feelings but she stinks all the time. If it was someone I hated then I wouldn't mind it but I have soooooo many school classes with her and she STINKS in every one. Help?

Not a pleasant idea, either dealing with the odor or figuring out how to tell her.
Here is one idea, to help without confronting. Buy some nice smelling body wash, and use some or pour a small amount out. Then, tell her you tried this new product but it irritated your skin and wondered if she would like it.

NOTHING is more embarrasing then not telling someone something like that. I am sure you have had that day where you have toilet paper stuck in your shirt and no one told u!!!! Didn't that stink??!?!? I mean really, god. Wouldn't you want someone to tell you that you stink if you did???!?! Instead you go through your days wondering why everyone is laughing at you! Pleaseeeeeeee! Just say it casully like, "What type of perfume do you use?" "Do you use deodorant, i have some that smells really good! Maybe you should use it also." You know, nice, not like, "Dude you stink! What the heck is wrong with you?"

Tell her that she stinks (Don't make it sound mean, make it sound caring or something)... Seriously, you'll have to tell her the truth, or else she'll get hurt by somebody later on... Don't be afraid to tell the truth, your friend will know that you're looking after her and just helping. Just offer some suggestion like deoderent, purfume, take a shower, brush her teeth, chug on some listerine (not literally), whatever. Don't make the same mistake that I did and not tell your friend, if you tell your friend too late, they will later find out, and she might get mad at you and would say "Why didn't you tell me so?".
If you just give her a deoderent or something out of a blue, your friend will probably think it's an insult...

If your a real friend you would tell her! I know, it's not a nice thing to say and i bet she will feel hurt but to help her and to help you as well as well as everybody else then i think you should. But say it in the nicest way possible. Say ''Listen i need to tell you something since your such a good friend and mean so much to me... I'm only telling you this because i care and i feel i should say since friends are there for each other so please don't feel bad!.. But you have an odor problem (or whatever she smells of) tell her in a nice way and keep reminding her she's a great friend...... i was in the exact same position as you!! and i told my friend about it and she agreed and tried to do something about it. Now we are all happy lol and so is the class!
Good luck!

i agree with the Da sexy 1. I know some one like this. I had no choice but to tell her, she is a relative and she lived with me. Even my kids told her (thats bad). There really isn't an easy way. Good luck
btw other people told her too, i dont think it made much of a difference and its not like she didn't shower cause she did.
I think some ppl naturally stink and don't have control over it. BTW is she a big girl. I find that some times big ppl may have this prob. cause they can't reach certain places or get into certain areas, but of course they would have to be really big for that.

By "stinks" I assume you mean BO? I had a friend at school with a major BO problem but I could talk to him and I got him some Mitchum roll-ondeodorant - cured virually overnight! If you don't want to risk confrontation, try mailing her some along with some nice, classy shower gel and one of those puff things you use it with anonymously - maybe you and some other frinds could chip in together?

If she is a friend then you need to tell her. Does she stink through body odor or perspiration on dirty clothes? maybe a perfume that does not agree with her body chemistry. She may feel embarrassed but that is better than going around every one else smelling.

If she is really your friend, then you wont be hurting her feelings, you would be helping her.
You didn't specifically say what area caused the stink, so maybe you can share some personal hygiene tips with her.
Assure her that you are her friend, and you have to tell her because this is what friends do. By not telling her, you are being a horrible friend!

Ok! this is what you do you go up to her and say can i talk to you please in private. Then you take her somewhere that no one can here what you are saying and say hey _____. I'm going to say this nicely in all but you have an odor. And i thought i would let you know in private so no hurts you or makes fun of you. Then you simple tell her/him that its natural and not to worry about. Ok that's some of my advice but remember i don't have the greatest but if you need more info just write me at ariel_ceccarelli@yahoo.com

You definatley need to be cruel to be kind.
If she is a good friend then she will appreciate your thoughts on the subject. Just offer to help in any way you can and maybe say you have suffered and now you use whatever it is then offer to let her try what you do.
good luck
