I am going to be in 9th grade soon and my arms and legs are really hairy. I really want to shave my legs, but my Mom says no.
I know that I shouldn't be embarrassed about my body, but I just really want to feel confident.
I'm not confident enough to wear shorts, skirts, and dresses because people stare at my legs (and sometimes my arms).
How should I break it off to my Mom? And should I really shave?

Your mom should really understand your situation, especially the insecurity this is causing you.
There is nothing wrong with not shaving, shaving as it is a personal choice - but you should tell your mom how you truly feel.
Does she shave her arms and legs?
With my mom, I told her that my arm pits are embarrassing me, After some time she came home with a razor for me and showed me how to shave my arm pits. I was always very Insecure because of my hairy legs, My friends where shaving and I was embarrassed. So I asked my mom, She said "No, Don't Push It", I felt like I didn't have a good chance of asking her again.
