From the voice of experience, leave your arms alone. Everyone has hair on their arms. I have light brown hair on mine and I used to be self conscious of it until I realized no one had ever ever mentioned it to me.
The best thing to do at your age for your legs is just to shave. Get a Gillette Venus razor (or anything with 3+ blades and don't cheap out) and a good shave gel. Don't waste money on women's shave gel. Buy the men's brands. They are made to work. I started to shave my legs when I was about 12.
Shaving does not hurt. Hair removal creams (depilatory creams) shouldn't hurt but they can be very irritation. Waxing and threading can hurt and can be expensive, but the results are long lasting.
Go with the shaving for now, its cheap and effective. It will not make your grow back twice as thick or twice as much. It only seems that way because of the shape of the hair.

I would not recommend removing the hair on your arms, it will grow back spikey and will look weird. For removing hairs on legs the best and cheapest way is to shave it off using a decent shaving foam, i personally use whatever shower gel there is in my bathroom and use a moisturiser afterwards. Hair removal cream such as Veet or Immac are also good if u cant be bothered to shave at least once week, like i have to as i have black hair. lol

hello, i think cream would be the safest answer as
1. shaving, hair tends to grow back twice as thick
2. waxing, can work out quite expensive & messy thow you can get wax strips.
3.cream , there areso many different varieties, some you put on wait a few mins then wipe off, some you can put on and are water proof you can use them in the shower which is much cleaner. and cheeper.
try the cream see how you get on if you don't like it then use one of the other options

Well I started shaving when I was 11
At your age, start with shaving with razors but use the womens type razor because those are the best kind and its best NOT to use cheap razors becuase most likely, those give you lots of nicks.

Try Nair creme...first try on a small area to see if you have any allergic reactions. Waxing is best and yes it hurts for the moment it is being pulled off . If you can handle that, then I would go for the wax.

I think it's time to talked to your parents about your hair problem. Tell them your concerns and needs for removing it.
I'm sure they will understand and will help you find the best solution for your problem. That's what they would want you to do first, is talk to them!
