Same thing happened to me in 5th grade. Our homework assignment was to buy deoderant and wear it. I wore it basically everyday from then on.

Answer 5

As I recall, I started wearing it about age 11, which was when I was starting through puberty.

Answer 6

A good clue is hair. When you start to grow hair where there was none then you probably are having those glands kick in and you can become odorous.
I have 3 preteens who are all supposed to wear it daily.... yet I still have to ask and check.... they can't smell a thing and I am dying, gasping for some fresh air.....

Answer 7

LOL @ your teacher!

Wow, I can't remember when I started. But I do remember what brand I used .... Teen Spirit powder fresh! Do they still make that stuff I wonder???

Answer 8

I think you should start using deodorant when you reach puberty ie when you get your period. That 's the time body odours get stinky.
