Читать книгу Is This Normal? - Darcie Johnston - Страница 10

Dear American Girl,

I am scared to wear shorts and skirts to school because I

have such hairy legs. I am 11 years old. Is this the right age

to start shaving, or should I wait a little longer?

Ready to Shave

Dark hairs on your legs are normal.

Other girls your age are sprouting

them, too, and some girls are

starting to shave. If you feel

ready to learn how to remove hair

from your legs, let your parent

know. Try saying, “I’ve been feeling

really self-conscious about the hair

on my legs and would like to know

more about shaving.” If your mom

or dad thinks you’re too young,

don’t be discouraged. Ask if you can

talk about it again in a few months

or when the weather gets warmer

and it’s time to break out the shorts.
