Well, if it makes you feel better I know what you mean. Maybe if you don't wash up good enough or put on deoderant then you should start doing that. I you already do those things then you can wear a really pretty berry body spray and then if people say that you smell then you can say, oh, I know I smell like raspberry. Isn't it pretty. Then they don't have anything to say!

Make sure you take a shower everyday BEFORE school. Try using a shampoo and conditioner that smells really really good. Herbel Essence smells really really good..its nice and fruity. You should either use Dove or Aveeno for your body wash. Something simple that has a little bit of scent. Then get a deoderant that smells good..try Lady Speed Stick ..either get powder smell or shower fresh. they will help you smell good all day. You can also get a little deoderant stick to put in your bookbag..somewhere where only you can find it..so you can go to the batheroom and put it on. Also, get some type of perfume, or a lotion that already has perfume in it. Estee Lauder has this lotion called Beyond Paradise that smells really good.You can also try a body splash, but nothing too strong, they have a lot at Bath and Body Works.Your clothes might be part of the problem some , sometimes its your clothes that smell and not you. Get some like Febreze Fabric Freshener
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
and spray it on your clothes like once you hang them up in your closet, or but it in your drawers. It makes your clothes a little damp but it will dry and smell nice and fresh. Its also important that your house(AND YOUR ROOM) smells good..so you can get Febreze Air Effects. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
They smell really good. You should get linen and sky for your clothes. Get another scent (if you want) for your bedding and your floors(only if you have carpet) so it constantly smells good.Also if you have a pet (cat, dog) you get get this special Febreze for pet oder, so you can spray it on their bed, on the carpet, on your beds, anywhere where it goes so your house doesn't smell like an animal house.
Remember that you want everything lightly sented..so don't drench yourself in perfume or lotion, body spray, or deoderant just to smell good. Also, beleive it or not, if your room is clutter free and smells good..you'll feel much cleaner and you can focus on smelling good.
Good luck!!

aww...i'm sorry well i know some guy he used to have bad b.o. and then he started taking 3 showers a day and everybody quit making fun of him...and he's popular lol!!! perfume will not make it smell better it just mixes with the smell! try gettin some scented soap that will make you smell clean and fresh, wash your hair very good let the shampoo soak in it for a bit, and put on some good smelling deodorant. Also, make sure you are changing into clean clothes every day! About them making fun of you, i wouldn't make fun of them back that just causes more problems..but when you go back to school smelling fresh and clean i would just kinda walk by them or get close enough where they can smell how good you smell...then they won't be able to say nothing!!!! hope i helped

Wear anti-perspirent deodorant and lots of it. Then sprits yourself with strong perfume, or body spray. Then use nice smelling lotion in the morning on your arms and legs. Spritz sum of the spray in your hair, so when people talk to you they`ll smell it. Take a shower everyday, either in the morning or at night. Change your sheets often. Make sure your clothes are clean. Brush your teeth, chew gum, spray your sneakers. Stuff like that. Basically hiding the smell.

I use tons of sprays and lotions from Bath and Body works... they smell SOOO good.

To make them stop picking on you just ignore them. When they realize it`s not hurting you anymore they`ll stop. Get up every morning and look in the mirror and come up with one positive thing about yourself. Then you`ll go to school with a great aditude and killer smile. If they keep doing it talk to an adult. They`ll make sure they leave you alone.

Much Love babe <3

To get rid of this smell, maybe shower more. If that isnt it, maybe it's your underarm odor that people are smelling. So, if you don't already, use deodorant every day. I suggest Secret, it feels and smells great, and hey, no white marks!


Also, I advise you not to cover it up with perfume. Bad odors and perfume create a horrible mixture and will most likely make the smell even worse.


Hope I helped=]

sassysara answered Saturday July 15 2006, 12:35 pm:
Hey I have a bit of a different take on this, using perfume doesn't hide any smell that may be there it just mixes with the smell and you have a new smell that won't be pleasant either. You should look for the cause, first of all what do you eat? certain spices exit through your pores and create a bad odor if its not that then visit your doctor, this could be something medical and very easily fixed. If you are not eating properly and you have put your body in ketosis then this will cause you to smell as well.

I wish you the best of luck, and as for the bullies try to start fighting back by using their weaknesses against them and see how they like it.

Hope this helps

DefinedEyes answered Saturday July 15 2006, 11:17 am:
Aww I'm sorry about this!
Anyways, if they tell you that you smell, maybe you do?I mean I dont mean this in a bad way, but Iknew this girl who was really nice but she had really BAD B.O (body odor) so if you dont wear deoderant maybe you should try. And if thats not that case, then tell an adult whats happening, no one should be taunting you like this for no resaon. But dont let them get ot you, try sticking up for yourself.

aww i'm sorry! if i had a dollar for everytime kids got made fun of for something that wasn't even true, i'd be rich. if your house has an interesting smell, ask someone nice to point it out to you. otherwise, they're just being mean to get you to cry. just take normal showers regularly, wear deoderant and it you want, wear some perfume. some of my favorites are fantasy, curious, live, shine.. a lot of the victoria's secret scents are yummy to and you can have a bottle in your backpack to put on during the day and show those ahem, assholes, that you don't smell. just be confident and ignore their immature remarks. that's just rude! i hope everything works for you! <3

Shower more. If you shower once a day Shower twice. Like once when you wake up && when you go to bed. Before school put on deoderant and put baby powder down your shirt. Maybe use some perfume or body spray.

Take more showers.

No really I'm serious. Take more showers. Since you already have an odor I recommend taking three showers a day.

Stand up for yourself. What I'm about to say is sad but true. The meaner you are, the more respect you get. So when they are making fun of you, make fun of them back.

Hey,
i've read your problem, and that seems really tough and harsh. I've answered alot of questions before about people who are made fun of, and i have actually met some of them, and besides the fact that i was once on of them.
Every person has something that others criticize or don't like. But the whole smell thing, is not the thing that you should make them hate about you, i mean.. why would you go around the school and stand with people and meet your friends when you smell like that? YOu have to take care of the way you look, and your whole appearance infront of people and you have to make sure that you smell good and your breath smells good.
So don't let people hate you and get disgusted of you and call you names and make fun of you.
There are million of stores out there which sell original strong smelling perfumes, which smell really great and alot of people like it.
So why don't you go down and buy your self one, and buy deodrants and sprays ,and alot of stuff to make yourself smell good. Moreover, you should also shower constantly and everyday.
And then when you go to school,i am sure that you will hear a couple of other comments for the next few days, like' oh my god! she finally showered!" and stuff like that, and believe me i know alot of people who experienced that, but then people would start changing their minds and ideas about you again, and if they ever mention it again, it would be a joke which you'd enjoy and laugh about too.
So goodluck and consider what i advised you with,and if you need any further help, please be free to contact me.

LoveToLaugh37 answered Saturday July 15 2006, 9:49 am:
I know you probably shower daily, right? (If you don't, you should..when girl's become older it is a necissettee (spelling?) to shower daily.) Does your house have a certain smell that maybe other houses don't have, and then when you get to school you smell like it? (that's happened to my friend before.) Ask one of your friends that have been over your house if the house has a distingushing smell to it. Or, everyday before you go to school, spray JUST A LITTLE BIT of your mom's perfume (Or whomevers is there.) on your wrist, and then with your wrist, put it on a little piece of your neck. As for the bullying, I know I HATE bullies (It even says so in my advice colomn.) Just don't show them that you are getting hurt by the comments..if someone says something..just start laughing. They'll be so confused and angry that they're joke (Which they probably stayed up all night to think of with they're itty bitty minds.) didn't make you cry. If you just keep on laughing they will eventually stop (I know from expierence.) just think that you are not alone, everybody gets made fun of.

What exactly do you smell like. Well whatever the odor is, make sure you shower everyday, and change your clothes and underwear. Also you could try switching your soap and deoderant.
