Arm hair is normal and if you want to take it off, try waxing it. Don't shave it because when you get little hair bumps, it's not attractive at all for someone to rub their hands across. :/ You won't seem like giving in because you know its something that will make yourself feel better.

i think you probably know yourself that you should should shave it off and even if they do have something to say it would just be for a little while atleast you know that after you do it they would have nothing more to tease you about so go ahead its only normal and everybody gets under arm hair

Hello.
Ugh, I'm sorry about this whole situation. It's so unfortunate that "beauty standards" these days are so far from reality. How can one help what one was born with?
I too have a have hairy genes and I've been teased and self-conscious about it in the past. I'm not sure how old you are, but the teasing definitely lessens with age. Younger kids I find to actually be MORE cruel than young adults.
Your nair idea is probably a good one, but if you leave the cream on for the recommended time on the instructions, then all your hair will come off. It says something like 3 minutes, so it would be best if you kept it on for half that time so that only some of the hair will come off.
Ultimately I think that this isn't about "giving in" to anyone. What you decide to do is entirely up to you and should be based on what makes you feel best. The way I think of it is that every time I shave my legs I am conforming to a social standard. Think of people who get breast surgery or liposuction. Guys also have issues with how they present themselves in society. We all have insecurities and will especially feel them if others constantly point them out.
Try the nair thing once and, if it makes you feel better, then stick with it. And aside from this you should be happy and confident with who you are. People are going to judge you everywhere you go and for the rest of your life. Whether or not you let it get to you is the true test of your confidence. Honestly, who cares?! Those people who are judging you are low-lifes who sadly have nothing better to do than put down others. Those people are indeed pathetic.
I hope all of this helped.
Take care!
