i have a friend in my class who really really smells of bad B.O how do i tel her?

Answer 1

Don't buy her soap or anything to try sending a message and hope she'll get it...
When you bring up the conversation...nicely tell her that the best deodorants to use are those with baking soda (arm and hammer) or those with no alcohol (rexona) are too bad either.
But start the conversation like that.
Go to the store or the pharmacy and when you pass by that section bring it up.
Tell her then about controlling body odour cause it'll be a detractor to boys etc...
Plus you're her friend and remind her that if you ween't seeking her best interest you wouldn't tell her.
If you didn't care... you might tell the whole school and have them laugh at her but you're not doing that so remind her of that please.

Answer 2

I'm not 100% sure, but if a persons bathes regularly and still smells of BO then this could perhaps indicate a medical problem. Not sure though. Try to look it up on the internet.

If it's not a problem and she just doesn't take care of herself, then perhaps buy her some products for her birthday (if it's close). Other than that, I'd say you have to tell her. If you do, make sure it's not in the middle of the day when she can't do anything about it. You'd have to say at the end of the day, so she won't go around worried about it and can go straight home to clean up.

Answer 3

if you are a true friend then you would tell her straight out if you can smell her then everyone else can and think of what they must be saying? i know it will be hard and she may even be upset at first but she will thank you in the end. maybe you should take her to one side and speak to her or get some information from a doctor or the Internet (NHS) and give it to her it maybe that her has a medical problem or she is starting puberty or she is on medication that is making her like that AM diabetic and some times i smell i am always asking my friends can they smell me and they tell me the truth but at least i am aware of it you should tell your friend right away. good luck xxx.

Answer 4

Giver her nice personal hygene products as a present, shower gel, body lotion, perfume, hand gel, soap (they could all match from a set or something)....You should probably give it to her in person, and say something to her about thinking she should spend more time taking care of/pampering herself...If she doesn't get the hint, you need to let her know that others are noticing her smell. And if it turns out she showers regularly, she may have a medical problem.

Answer 5

If you care for her well being, then you should talk to her about it. Tell her nicely, and make sure you don't laugh at her for having body odour. BE serious about it. You can tell her straight to the point. Or if you're scared that you'll hurt her feelings, then you should have a nice chat with her first, then start telling her. Don't tease her or anything else bad. You have to consider her feelings.
Make sure you help her get over this. And try to convince those tend to laugh or tease her for having body odour that it's not the right thing to do. Tell them to think twice before they hurt people's feelings by saying those hurtful words.
Perhaps your friend knew that she has body odour. Think about it, maybe she's just too scared to lose her friends just because she has body odour. I'm sure you care for her, so the best thing to do is to have a casual talk with her, most preferably, one on one. Just be careful not to hurt her feelings. It's better to tell her now than later when everyone starts to hurt her feelings by telling her directly, word for word about her odour.

All the best!

Answer 6

ok this is a delicate situation. if she is Asian then there are some religious reasons for this, however i do believe that in this day and age there is no reason to smell bad.

maybe take your friend out on a shopping spree and the weekend and say you need deodorant and maybe some smellies. then ask her opinion on which fragrance to get and say to her @you would tell me if i smell?'
if your getting ready together at anytime offer her some of your deodorant. shell get the hint and want to join in if every one else is spraying!

Answer 7

I suppose it depends how close you are ,you could go along the lines of sometimes we don't notice ourselves so I thought it best to tell you or try sharing some of your tips favourite deodorant etc but best to tell her before someone else does in a hurtful way ,beside not very pleasant for you good luck.
If all else fails take her swimming but be sure to shower before entering pool x

Answer 8

this is what i would do buy her a gift bag with all kinds of things deoderant perfume hair stuff nothing too expensive maybe a puzzle book and give her the gift bag and tell her you felt like buying her something give her a hug and maybe a kind gesture will change her with out permanetley scarring her feelings,unless you know what her home life is like dont hurt her anymore all that does is steal what little self esteem she might have left.

Answer 9

--Buy some deodorant and put it on her desk.
--Pretend you sneeze, and instead of "ACHOO", say "YOU STINK".
--Wear a clothes pin on your nose.
--Ask her if she's ever used Dove soap.
--Ask her when her birthday is so you'd like to buy her some toiletry items.
--Tell her that you smell something that resembles corn chips or spoiled chicken salad.
--Ask her, "How do you spell Bo, is it Beau or B-O?"
--Ask her when was the last time she went to a baby or wedding SHOWER?
--Write a note & tape it on to her locker in the hallway.
--Tell the teacher, her mother, the school nurse, the principal....
--Call her at home and leave a message on her voice mail, disguising your voice with a soft whisper: "BO BO BO BO".
--Hang a no-pest fly strip above her locker.

Hope these ideas help you out. (and her)

Answer 10

Take a spray in to school with you and pretend to be using it yourself, then offer her...hopefully she will want some, then tell her she can keep it.
if that doesn't work the best thing to do is tell her straight out. but be nice about it, i'm sure she'd rather hear it from a friend than a bully.
