I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! i'm thirteen years old & i never used to have this problem until my sister told me she shaved her "happy trail" (hairline below belly button) then i did it to. now the hair is dark, long, & course! i hate it! it's so emberessing! i have to avoid birthday parties, hanging with friends, family reunions, etc. because of this problem! i feel like a gorilla! my mom doesn't have this problem but my dad does! sometimes i think it's just in my genes but shaving definetly did not work! my advice to anyone with this problem is: DO NOT SHAVE!!!! you'll just regret it. & you might luck out & not get razor bumps or rashs from it but most people do! i wish i had researched this or asked my doctor about shaving first cause i can't do ANYTHING now!!!! all my friends are perfect, light-haired, & petite. i'm dark-haired, not as skinny as them, but far from perfect! i wish i could show off my belly. & i have a perfect stomach too! it's skinny & tuck. but now every time i want to show it off i have to choose between razor bumps & rashy dots. or dark, long manly "happy trail". it's discusting! so, take it from me, DON'T SHAVE!!!! i would bleach or pluck. maybe just even leave it alone if it's not too dark or long. ask your doctor for medical problems. i figured there was more females like me. & i was right! think about it, with all the people that have this same problem, there just HAS to be some sort of effective solution. i know a girl in my grade who has dark body hair all over & just doesn't care. she gets made fun of sooooo badly though! she doesn't care though, i thought good for her but i definetly DO care!! i am currently still looking for a solution but it's nice to know that i'm not alone. any questions just ask.(:
i have one hair that grows on my breast-i pluck it with tweezers-pinches for about 2 seconds-don't worry
OMG, i thought i was the only one, do u know im afraid to have a boyfriend because of that. Its hard, and im afraid of what people might think because im so different. I look at other women, and say to myself, Damn they are so lucky. I wish i was like them. I am 25 years old, the only person amongst my friends to not have a boyfriend or husband because im to afraid of what he might think. I want to fall in love, and see what all that is about but the only thing stopping me is my stupid hairy stomach. Not that i dont shave, I think thats the biggest mistake i have ever done, coz i think the shaving made it worse. And my hair grows back really quick to, its unbelievable.
I went shopping today and I remember thinking "Wow, I wish I looked like her" when I gazed up at a model confidently showing off her skin. I knew that there were other people that had these problems, but I never understood that they went through all of the same things that I have. Thank you, really, for posting on here. I am going to get laser hair removal on my upper lip, but I don't know if I can afford to get it for my chest and stomach until my late twenties. Seeing the picture of Alicia Keys that someone else posted was really inspirational, but truthfully, I am still going to save up because I don't think I can ever be that confident about the way I look. At least I've accepted that much, right? Anyway, good luck everyone! Hopefully some of you are more confident that me and can really make a change in how people see themselves! :)
But after awhile it grows darker which *****... My boyfriend barely notices bc I shave like everyday.... Is there any pills to take?
I'm 13 and know exactly how you feel. Everybody thinks it's gross so I always cover up. I wondered if I was the only one out there who had the hair problem and there are many more. But since I'm to young to do anything about the hair on my body, I do things myself. "GOD BLESS RAZORS!"
