Shaving Vagina hair
I have been shaving my vagina, and every time I do it, it hurts and it bleeds. My boyfriend said it's because when shaving, the hair is being pushed up and it's not suppose to go that way, and I don't think I can shave down because I might cut myself by doing that. I can't get it waxed professionally because I don't have any money, I don't know what else to do. Is there any other way of shaving without it hurting?

If your vagina is bleeding while you are shaving, STOP. Blood should never, ever enter the equation.
At this point, you need to leave the area alone for awhile to let the skin recover. When there are no scabs, blood, etc then you can think about safer ways to shave yourself.
Shaving will always bring razor burn - small, red dots that may itch or be uncomfortable. As I said before, bleeding should not be happening. You need to be gentle with your skin, particularly skin in sensitive areas.
Once you've given your skin a week or two off, invest in a new pack of razors. Every time you shave your pubic hair, using a new razor is best. Also use plenty of shaving cream. It might help to use scissors to trim the area before shaving.
And your boyfriend is right - you need to pulling the razor down, not pulling it up. Try to only go over each area once. This may mean it could take a couple of tries to get the area completely smooth, but it's much nicer for your skin. If you are using the razor correctly, you will not cut yourself.
Another thing for you to consider is whether you want to continue shaving. Not many people shave themselves clean - and after all, you are experiencing quite a few problems because of it. Having hair on your genitals is natural, normal, and fine - if you are comfortable with it.
Best of luck. Remember to STOP shaving if you feel any pain or discomfort at all. Shaving should not cause either, even in the tiniest amounts.
