I am going to be 15 this May. My legs are so hairy that I feel so embarassed when I wear shorts and all. I really want to shave. But the problem that arises is that my mother doesn't shave. Last time when she got shaved was near her marriage. From then on my mother, who has so little hair that they don't even appear, has not shaved. So a few years ago she became a nun and she literally doesn't shave. What should I do? I also don't want that my mom should know about it. I am too shy to ask for a razor and all that stuff from a shopkeeper.

A friend or relative can buy the products for you and help you learn how to shave.
If your mother truly is a nun, then she must have a very compassionate heart,...and so she should understand when you calmly explain to her that it embarrasses you a great deal to spend time with your friends in public walking around with hairy legs. No compassionate mother would want their child to walk around constantly feeling embarrassed - just my opinion!
I am curious as to why you would have to ask a shopkeeper? Not sure where you live but perhaps you could get a friend with a more permissive mother to buy them for you.
After some more thought about your post, it occurs to me that you may be from a different culture than what I'm used to here in North America? If so I think I understand your dilemma a little better, and perhaps it would be better if you asked one of your friend's mothers to help you, as a previous poster suggested.
Use a hair removal cream. I have the Nair cream and you out it on and let it sit for about 3 minutes then hop in the shower and rinse it off, works really well plus no razor involved
