Should I tell my classmate she stinks?

The girl who sits beside me in my English class smells HORRIBLE. I don't care if she decides not to shower or whatever, but the thing is that even after class, the smell is still there. I end up smelling like her for the rest of the day, and I don't know what to do about it! I don't want to tell her, but I don't want to switch seats either.


There’s only two options in this situation: either tell her or don’t. If you don’t want to tell her, then the best thing to do is switch seats so you don’t have to deal with the smell. You could also try a body spray after class to take the smell off of you, but that’s a hassle to do everyday.


Telling her won’t be easy, but it might get her to change her cleaning habits. If you’re friends with someone who is close to her, you could think about talking to her friend and seeing if she can say something. People with body odor would rather be told by someone they know than just an acquaintance. If you do tell her yourself, be really kind about it and make sure you tell her in private. Lots of times people who smell bad don’t even realize it, and appreciate someone telling them!

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!! I really want to wear a thong, because I always have panty lines when I wear spandex for volleyball and when I wear yoga pants.. But I don't know how to ask my mom.. I'm scared she will say no but I hate having pantylines.. How should I ask her?!? Thanks(:




Hey girlie,

Try presenting it just like you told me: you want to wear a thong for a practical reason, to avoid getting attention for pantylines during practice/games. Be honest and mature about it - mom might surprise you and be ok with it! If not, try saving up your money and letting some time pass. Next time you're at the mall with your besties, you could always score a pair just to have for games Smile

I hate when that happens! You can't stand how they smell, but they're really nice and don't want to hurt their feelings! Flip a coin.

I agree with Gazelle.

The issue isn't always that someone has bad hygiene for smelling bad... they might have problems at home that stops them from being able to shower daily, or even wash they're clothes! before judging someone you should take these things into consideration.. and if its really something you can't deal with then move your seating.. not a big deal.
