I didn't tell my mom when I started shaving...she didn't know for about a year.
Just start shaving. If your mom mentions it, then it's a good conversation starter.

I didn't tell my mom when I started shaving. I just did it. Drop one if need be.

well, it really depends how old you are. at 12, i would have died talking to my mom about stuff like that...(i did anyway, its your legs, not your area) but now anything goes! just tell her its embarrasing and you want to be confident and im sure she'll let you if thats the case. "mom, can i start shaving my legs...theyre gross!" "sure dear, ill buy you a razor tomorrow at target" "thanks mom, your the best." <3

Well, you know, asking for advice on this one is hard. but this is really something you need to sit your mother down with and talk about. You should get her at a time when she's in a good mood, set her down and say "mom, I need to talk to you about something, and after i've had my say, then you can have some imput" Then explain to her how you think that you are mature enough to shave your legs, and how you are ready for it.
If she is still set on not letting you, then DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT have a hissy fit. Just bring it up again at a later point. Believe me, unless you're like godzilla, the guys in gym won't care about the hair.
Good luck darling!

You could ethier.. TALK TO YOU MOM, even writting your mom a note or something if you are too embarressing to talk to her about it in person. Or else you could be a bad girl and shave your legs and everything when she aint around and when she finds out tell her straight up "mom, my legs are hairy and i think that i am old enough to shave" or something near that. OK, good luckk!

you dont have to get into talking about puberty with your mom. just be like "mom can we go to the store and buy some razors? my legs are really kinda icky and i want to start shaving them" ((even if u dont think they're icky)). hope helped

You could always ask her to get you some Nair. Much better than shaving anyway.
I do have a website that has tips for talking to your parents about things. I'm sure it could help out here. :)

shaving your legs is really nothing to be embaressed about...it'll be much more embaressing going out in public with hairy legs & your mom will def understand that. One day show her you legs and be like..."don't you think I should?" and she'll most likely say yes.

uhh just shave them. I started in like 5th grade. If your like in 7th grade or something you really need to start doing this. Just tell her to pick up razors next time she goes to the store. or im sure she has razors. Just get ones you can throw away. Anyways. you should probably start and if your worried about the boys then its time to start shaving. I bet your mom has been waiting and waiting to see when you'd finally bring this up to her.

Ease into it.
I went in steps, first I bought his hair removal cream stuff that you apply onto your legs and leave it on for a few minutes, and then wipe off.
Then I went to shaving, which was MUCH more conveniant, and since I had already used the cream it was much easier for my mom to accept it.
Later, I started to wax,and by then I was pretty experienced with that kinda stuff so my mom kinda let it go.
Some girls use bleach to lighten the hair on their legs and make it less noticeable, but its a big pain and takes too long.
Just gradually talk to your mom about it, and soon she'll accept it. Chances are, she shaves too! :)

Well you've got two options: either you speak to your mum or you go out and buy a razor and gel yourself! You could start off the conversation like "this is really awkward but I think I'm going to start shaving my legs" and see what she says! If she asks why just say it's because you're going to feel a bit self conscious in gym class. But if you don't want to talk to her and she's not the sort of mother that will mind if she sees the razor and hasn't spoken to you about it then get down to the shops! Or the other alternative is to go and buy the stuff and then talk to her about it like "i went shopping and bought this today." That might be easier!
