Awww don't feel that way just cause you smell lol maybe you don't and how do you know they do this because of you??.. Well anyways try showering more often make sure you always put deoderant often maybe twice a day too and put some soft cologne and take it with you that way you can spray some on at school too :) also make sure you change and wash your clothes often. Problem solved!
Im so sorry to hear that, Do you wear clean clothes everyday? Clean shirt, socks, underwear.. ? The best is to wear clothes from cotton.
And do you wash yourself behind your ears? I don't know if you have it but it can also be your public hair. If you do have it you should shave it. But be carefully not to hurt yourself!
An other possibility is that you sweat on your way to school. Do you go with the bus or bike? It is possible you're sweating while biking.
Another deodorant is also an option, Some deodorants just don't work for me, Some make me even sweat more! two years ago people were telling me i smelled, once i've changed deodorant no one complained anymore. Just try some different brands and you might find on that works better for you.
Stop don't end your life it's not the end of the world you're only 13 you need to calm yourself down, try switching shampoo and use shower gel and maybe shower 2 times a day because that's what some girls do just take your time relax and experiment a bit don't be afraid. God loves you.
Hi Sam.
Number 1 I have to saw that nothing is worth ending your life. I was teased at school all the time. I am now 38 years old. Of course it hurts but really what you need to realize is what I have and many other people in your shoes have learned from this. People are mean, especially teens your age. I promise you that whomever is teasing you does not have a perfect life. People who bully others are usually and most of the time people have many problems at home or who are not happy people themselves. These individuals make fun of others in order to make themselves feel better about their lives. NO ONE is worth your time and energy worrying about what others have to say or do. They may even envy you. Look and yourself in mirror everyday and say to yourself, " I am better than all of them. I don't smell. They are just jealous mean people who are unhappy about themselves." Being your age is hard to understand why people your age do what they do. Ever heard of adult being "wiser"? Well it's true. We know whats it's like to be a teenager. And some of us like myself, have been fortunate to have had an adult help us learn that you do not pay attention to these kind of people. You are young and have a whole life ahead of you. Don't let anyone ever stop you from dreaming and accomplishing great things in life. You may even want to reach out to an adult like a teacher or counselor at your school. Maybe changing your class to another may help. Sam, remember you know you are better than they are. Suicide is never the answer to anything. You are here for a reason and that reason is to fight for what's right,not what's wrong. Keep your head up and think positive. Take care and I hope to GOD that you live many years and remember my words one day far from now.
god bless you,
Monica
maybe its just one giant game with those people who WANT you to think that you smell but in reality you don't ...as you go through life your eyes are going to be opened by just how pathetic and ugly MANY people are within ..they are like sheep...especially during the school years...have you ever thought about taking up boxing ...it would give you massive self confidence...
It's obviously their problem, so if you can't ignore them, just say, "Freudian transferral of guilt," when they do it.
I have the same problem its hell
