Well, how old are you? You're going to have to shave sooner or later. All women shave under their arms...and for most of us it has to be done every day.
Also, your mother has to shave under her arms too. If not, she's be one hairy woman. So telling her shouldn't be embarrassing, she has the same thing. Once you get to the age where you start growing body hair, you'll eventually have to do something about it.
I'd say shaving is your best bet, unless you have some good reason why you don't want to do that. Other than waxing and shaving, the only solution would be hair removing gels or lotions.
Veet burns your skin. DON'T use it. Maybe Nair for extremely sensitive skin. The skin under your arms is very thin, and products that burn the hair away can irritate your skin badly. But even if you find one that doesn't irritate your skin, the hair has to be 1/4 of an inch long at least to use them again. So you'd have to grow the hair out a bunch each time you take the hair off.
...which is why most of us girls just shave it off every morning in the shower.

Just tell your mom. It's nothing to be embarassed about. She knows that you're getting older & that these things need to be done. I'm sure she won't mind & she'll get you the things you need. Besides, if you can't even tell her that you wanna start shaving, how in the world are you gonna tell her about getting your period? Just tell her.

Aside from shaving & waxing, try using veet or nair. You put it on, leave it there for a few minutes & rinse it off. I personally don't like it, and I prefer shaving, but it's an alternative for people who don't like to shave.
