Advice wanted about my dd (14) who is convinced she has exceptional body hair and that she can't wear anything that reveals this or even go swimming as she believes she 'needs' to wear high-necked tops back and front. She shaves her legs and now her arms too - against my advice, as once you start it may grow back thicker so you may need to keep doing it, her upper lip (she had no moustache at all before she did it) and her underarms. But would like to remove hair from her whole body - back, chest etc. She is dark blonde so her body hair (totally normal very fine 'down' to my eyes) is almost invisible anyway!
I've told her this but she believes I'm wrong. At her request I made an appointment for her at the GPs, hoping they could talk some sense to her. She's just got back from there and the GP told her she was fine but offered counselling, which DD declined. She wants to get laser or equivalent treatment but I've said she's too young - the GP refused to discuss it.
Anyone got any suggestions? I remember hating my body hair at the same age too, and modern airbrushing etc probably puts young girls now under more pressure than when I was that age, but still... I have (plenty of) dark body hair and am now pretty laid back about it - but nothing I say to DD gets through - she's just convinced everyone else is wrong and she's some sort of freak. :(
She's convinced that if only she could sort this out she'd be happy, her whole life would be wonderful. To me, she seems depressed and if it wasn't this it would be something else...
Help please...
