Armpit hair

[madman1]

Hey, I'm 14 nearly 15 and I can grow a lots of armpit hair but I hate it, I just cannot bare it. I have like this major problem with it. I also am worried that if I don't shave it my family will see it on holiday buy then if I do, it may look suspicious. I don't know what to do, as my sister and brother will comment and make fun. I'm going away in the summer, do you think it would be alright if I just left it shaved, because other family members are coming as well

Hmmmm, Thats a tough one. If there are other guys going away at summer time and you are going to be at a beach for example, it may just bring attention to you if you don't have armpit hair. The other guys would have it Im assuming and you may be the odd one out. I dont think its a worry if you have it and are worried about your family seeing it, as they see that its normal and accept it. Unless it is a done thing within your family that armpit hair is shaved, which im assuming it isn't. But on the other hand, it is all personal opinion and preference. If you want to shave your hair, then by all means go and do it. If your family dont accept it then have a bit of a whinge, because each person is who they are. Yeah, it may take them a little while to get used to but they'll come around :) If its that much of a worry, wear a T-Shirt all the time, and if your in the water, a rash vest.

Hope I have somewhat helped with my ramblings :)
Cheers,
Sam

Try to thin it out, this way you wont get made fun of for having none or a lot!

It is natural, but if you dont like it you can do with it what you will. You can shave it or trim it. Completely up to you.

There's nothing to feel ashamed or suspicious about. When guys go through puberty, they get armpit hair. There's nothing really special or magical about it.

If you decide to shave it, do it for your own reasons. Some guys think it's more hygienic, some guys like the feel of shaved pits more, some guys feel they are more attractive with shaved pits, etc. Whatever you do, do it because it's what you like.

I would personally just leave your hair how it is. I don't hunk people should make fun of you for having it

[ImCoolBeans]

It's really just a part of life that you have to embrace. It's always going to come back.

I really think its nothing to be ashamed of. Its just normal and "manly" so its a good thing and I think you should be proud of it. I'm 14 and still got nothing happening there.

I'm 15 and i really don't have any pit hair at all. So do what you want with it, but if you are worried people will make fun of you then consider trimming it so you have a happy medium.

they will grow

If you really hate it, then trim it or thin it

[Whoiskevin]

if you are worried about it just trim it but I had alot of armpit hair when I was 15 too

[kevherz]

just shave them off. I do the same, hardly know any boys in Germany who grow them nowadays cos all girls here think pithairs are ugly and look awful...

[zelda98]

here's the thing. guys get armpit hair. it's completely natural and you have nothing to worry about. they will understand that you're a teen and you grow hair like all the rest of us. if they have a problem with it just tell them that it's your body not their's and that you can have it however hairy-or not hairy- you want it.

If you really hate it, then trim it or thin it

It's competley natural and everyone knows that, it's not a special characteristic 1/10 guys get or anything, so trim it.
