[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the discussion here is interesting, but I'm at a real loss here on one very simple issue:  if a 10 year old (or almost-10, i.e., fourth grader) wants to shave her legs and is embarrassed by them, will she likely be the 'first' in her class to shave or are there others out there who have already started.  FWIW, DC is a competitive gymnast who also dives:  her legs are 'on display' a lot.

My concern is that if she's the first to shave, she may get as much teasing as she's nervous about getting RE the abundant hair on her legs.

TIA:  we have recently moved and I don't have a strong circle of friends I can consult here, nor do I want to scope out my daughter's peers' legs.....[/quote]

Have you read the thread? She will not be the first to shave, because many others also started shaving at 10.[/quote]

My daughter is 12 and none of her friends shave, or at least her whole soccer team.  It is not normal to shave in 3/4th grade.  Maybe once middle school some start but not before that.  [/quote]
