Stop shaving!!
17/f , I'm kind of a hairy girl and I have been made fun of for it almost my whole life. When I was 15, I started shaving EVERYTHING including my legs, arms, underarms, and stomach. Now, I completely regret it because it's growing back too thick and feels gross when my boyfriend touches me. I want to stop shaving my stomach, but the hairs grow back disgustingly, noticeably thick . Is there anyway i can make them thinner or less noticeable?

First of all, do NOT feel like you are the only one with hair. Everyone has hair (light, dark, thin, thick, etc.). While shaving is a quick-fix it is not ideal for the long term and like you mentioned can be unsightly when it grows in.
Here are a few options:
1. Waxing--this will last longer, and over time is damages the root so the hair grows back less and less
2. Depilatories--this is a more gentle approach (does kind of smell funny though!)
3. NoNo Hair!- it's like a laser hair removal but its for personal use and SO easy to use. It works great. It is a bit of an investment, but if you added up the cost of maintaining by shaving over time, it pays for itself.
4. Professional Laser Hair Removal--while it is the most costly, it definitely works for the long term.
Either way, I am sure you will look beautiful, and I am sure your boyfriend will think so regardless. :)

Shaving is a quick way to get rid of hair, but it just grows back too quick. I've never noticed mine to come back thicker though, I assumed that was an old wives tale - are you sure it's not just the way the hair is growing which is making it appear thicker? Perhaps you're shaving the wrong way?
Either way, alternatives to shaving which you'd be better off doing are waxing, bleaching, or hair removal cream.

Shaving everything is the worst thing you can do, All I can really tell you is to dye the hair so it's not as noticeable. Tweezing, Waxing or shaving will just make it even worse then it already is.
If you want you could try to make an appointment for laser hair removal but even so that isn't really guarantee to be permanent and costly.
