[quote=Anonymous]I was the smelly kid in school because my parents didn’t pay any attention to me or tell me to wear deodorant or care if washed my gym clothes. When I was in middle school, my PE teacher called me into her office in a very after school special way and had a Serious Talk with me about it. For various reasons, it was obvious that my friends had asked the teacher to do this. It was awful, and I’ve carried this shame around with me for 40 years. I think “formalizing it” in this way is the worst way to handle it, even if it makes it easier for you. Please don’t do this to the poor kid. The more people you bring in, and the more formal it is, the more embarrassing it is. Please just tell the kid without any fanfare like you would your own child. Keep it light. Make it funny. Or tell your daughter to tell her, point blank: “hey, you reek. Put some deodorant on.” It doesn’t have to be a big deal for her—if you don’t make it one. [/quote]
