[quote=Anonymous]You've mentioned it to her and she doesn't care. Drop it until she brings it up again. 9 is not too young to have under arm hair or pubic hair or a period. I had all of those at 9 and I was monitored be a pediatrician. That's it, just monitored. My mom didn't shave her legs, so neither did I. I still don't. I wasn't excessively hairy, but I did have dark hair. I was never ridiculed in school. And yes, I am married. I am American and I firmly believe that our society is teaching girls that the only way to exist is to change themselves and look like everyone else. Conform to what others say is pretty. If you are too fat, loose the weight because you can't be fat and pretty at the same time. If you are too developed at a young age, hide it. If you have hairy legs, shave them. If you are disfigured in any way, cover it. We are not teaching girls that their natural body is just as good as one covered in make-up. [/quote]
