I am 13, almost going to high school. i have hairy legs. Im sick of them, and every1 else, even 5th graders shave and not me. My mom says im ''not ready''. I need a convincing way to let her let me shave. I already shave my pits and now i think thats 1 of the reasons y she wont let me do my legs. she still calls me her baby, and i want her to just let me shave. can u tell me how you got started, or any tips or anything. please im desperate. Sorry this is so long. thanx!!

Get some trimming scissors (short scissors not the long ones that you cut paper with) and trim the long leg hair. Wet your legs, and lather up your legs with shave cream or a good moisturizing soap. Then in long slow strokes pull the razor up your leg. Don't press too hard or you will nic yourself. Careful of your knees and ankles. I do my calves first, then the knee and about an 2 inches above my knee. (where my shorts stop) I do not shave the back of my thighs, I don't bend that way and the hair isn't dark on me. Don't forget to rinse the razor regularly throughout the process. When you are finished, wash your legs again, dry them and then lotion them with a moisturizing lotion.
Sometimes it is better to ask forgiveness than permission. This is a personal hygiene issue and it is not for your mother to dictate when she thinks you are ready. She is stalling because she is not ready.
Edit - Found a good article about shaving.

nicely if she does not shave her legs then that's that she fairly does think of that and if she does then she does not want you to advance up proably and nicely i think of you're basically going to could desire to spend your guy or woman money on that stuff and cover it out of your mom (in case you will shave your legs then i could advise you determining to purchase aloe somewhat of shaving cream cuz its greater much less high priced and it fairly works basically as good and makes your legs nonetheless experience fairly mushy) good success =]

girls won't have any hair on their legs at 13. At 13, all the guys had really smooth skin with no hair so as a girl, you'll probably have next to nothing also!! I think you should just go with your mom's advice. I guess she doesn't want you growing up too fast. Besides, why would you want to shave anyway? To impress guys? I think you should study hard, think about guys later when your mind is used to working hard. Parents seem to actually know more than you think.
