Do I have a mustache?

Some people say I'm growing a mustache. I'm not really, but there is just a very faint dark line above my upper lip. Does that really mean anything? Am I actually growing one?

 

No way, girlie! You are so not growing a mustache. It’s totally common to have some peach fuzz on you upper lip. Anyone who feels the need to tell you that you’re growing a mustache is not a good friend.

 

But if it's bothering YOU and you feel that it’s something you want to hide, there are easy ways to do that. Because it’s such a common thing, you’ll find lotsa hair bleaches and waxes at the drugstore that are specifically for the face. Talk to your mom before trying either, though.

 

If you go with the bleach, just test it out first on a tiny bit of hair (perhaps not on your face) to make sure you’re not allergic. Waxing is gonna be a bit more painful, so that’s not our first choice. But there are waxes safe for your face and you’ll probably want Mom’s help for that project.

 

Just remember: Hair on the upper lip is really common, so don’t fret!

i have the mustache problem and this guy next to me(really annoying,rude and copies my work!)when we fight he keeps on pointing out that i have a mustache and when he does that i want to cry! what can i do?

 

Hey girlie, talk to your parents about bleaching or waxing the hair above your upper lip. It'll be less noticeable and make you feel more confident.

everyone at my school is making fun of me because i have a "mustache"!!! Its really embarassing and it makes me feel like an unwanted freak. what should I say to get them to stop thats not too weird?

 

Hey girlie! It sounds like these kids are being bullies -- if this continues you should talk to your school consular and see if they can help. We all have little things about ourselves that we don't like, but we can't always change them and we just have to learn to love them! Good luck!

MOD,
All the guys in my homeroom at school are making fun if me because I " apparently" have a mustache. I bleach it but it looks weird after because my skin gets all yellow on the upper lip, and I'm terrified of waxing! What can I do?!

 

 

Hey girly girl! These guys sound like total JERKS! Please, please don't let them get to you, because they're not worth your time. If you do want to do something, I'd recommend waxing. It's scary at first, but I promise, you'll get used to it soon enough, and it won't be so bad anymore. I'd definitely get it done at a salon though, by a professional for your first few times...

Okay, so I have a mustache problem. My upper lip has a noticeable amount of black hair. I know it probably won't grow any more, but it bothers me, and a couple of people have pointed it out, too (not kidding, people have actually said, "You have a mustache."). I'm in sixh grade and I want to get it waxed -my sister did when she was my age- but my mom says I can't. What to do, what to do...




Hey babe,

Give it some time, then approach your mom about it. Explain to her calmly how it makes you feel. Tell her people have pointed it out, then tell her exactly how you would feel better after getting it waxed. Assure her you'll pay for the waxing yourself and all she has to do is say yes (like she did for your sister). Ask her what her concerns are - and then address each of them maturely with a reason why she's wrong. She may still ask you to wait, but discussing the situation calmly will make a big difference and let her know exactly how important this is to you.

I want to start shaving my armpits. I hate wearing anything that exposes them because I don't want people to see my hairy armpits. I want to do it soon because i'm going to be going to a lot of batmitzvahs this year which means sleeveless dresses. Plus it's going to be spring soon. I'm sort of uncomfortable asking my mom about these things so how should I ask. and when?




Just bring it up! Tell her how youre uncomfortable and want to start shaving because its about time. I bet she'll be perfectly fine with it Smile xoxo kerra
