Alex S.	yea, its not bad if your 13, yes shave your legs i think 11 year olds should be shaving their legs honestly its not like your pregnant she would have no reason to ground you in fact, if she gets mad, kiss up and say "well, i was hoping you could teach me the right way to do it mommy" puppy eyes it'll make her feel special hope i helped! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

imasobored	There shouldn't be a reason not to tell her. I know a lot of people who started shaving in 5th grade. 13 is a decent age to start shaving and it shouldn't matter. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cheerislife	it depends if your mom is strict or not. i told my mom when i did at like 10. haa yeah, shes gunna notice sooner or later. i would Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Carolina	Why would she care? You're a teenager and therefore responsible enought to take care of your own hygenic needs. If you dont know what to say if she flips out (which would be gay of her) you can steal my last sentence, it will make you seem mature enough to handle the situation :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dubya	Your a teenager you should be shaving now I don't see the problem with telling her, she needs to know your growing up anyways..and even if you don't tell her I don't see the big deal either it's your decision Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gintwmy1972	Of course you have to keep the lines of communication open with your mom and let her know why you shaved your legs. I wouldn't think she would be that upset. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ariel_kenji012	two possible answer i can give: Yes, because if you don't she might as well shave yours... and secondly No, cause it depends if your a guy or a girl...

Give Peace A Chance	Why should you? I don't see why she needs to know, I mean there is nothing wrong at all with shaving your legs. If you really think you should go ahead but I don't think you need to. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Meezie	Of course. It shouldn't be a big deal, let her know why you did it and be reasonable, she should be able to understand. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

azile_wehttam	Oh wow. Absolutely. My daughter is 12 and she asked me if she could shave in 5th grade. I told her when she got to 6th grade I would show her how to do it properly and we went to buy her her own razor and shaving cream. I don't know if you and your mother have the same type of relationship, but if so she probably would like to enjoy your growing into a young lady with you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jessi	Well then I'm guessing you are a girl. I asked my mom about shaving around 11 and most people have their mom explain to them first. I do know some girls that just took the razor and shaved but they told their mom after. You should tell her she can give you advice and she might be a little embarassed when she realizes she should have spoke to you about it already! Nothing bad can happen if you tell her she would realize that you are grown up! Hope I helped! ~Jessi Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brittany	Even if you do tell her there is no way that she could be mad at you. You're growing up and sooner or later you had to do it. Dont worry, Im positive that she wont mind. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

brandi<3	When i was 13, my mom never let me shave. but i did it on my own. she got kinda mad lol. But you really should tell her/ and if she does get upset, tell her you were embarassed by it and you think that you're old enough already. Goodluck & Becareful not to cut yourself! :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SpLp	yea you should.. most people start shaving around that age anyways Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

emmalee	Ur 13. I started shaving when i was 12. Dont tell her if its an issue but i have a feeling she'll notice eventually Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Razor Sharp	It's hardly a travesty, unless you're a guy, in which you're just weird. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

PockyDotz	Yes...I mean, I told my mom about it, but that's b/c my mom and I have a very open relationship and I knew that she wouldn't care about it. If you don't want to, you don't have to. I mean, she is going to find out about it eventually anyways. Also, 13 is about the right time to be doing that. Good Luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
