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!

I AM in a situation like this and it is really bad. They tell her she smells like poop* (*another word that is a swear word) BUT She never does anything about it!!!I personally adressed it but the girl( who I used to be good friends with but not anymore not for this reason) was hardheaded and got offensive and changed the subject (she does this constantly). She was adressed by a teacher who talked to her mom and no Change. I'm not trying to sound rude, but she does smell truely awful and you whou think after so many things people say she would realize. BUT NO! Frown

I know a girl with problems like this. It's so awkward, these types of situations, unfortunately, will never NOT be awkward Tong

I don't mean to be mean here, but my 5th grade teachers assistant teacher saw me the other day and hugged me (I'm in 7th grade now) and her Daughter Hannah who is Autistic turned around and saw me. I said hi to her and her Mom told her I as in the 5th grade class she helped teach in. Hannah must take after her mother because she hugged me, too. I have OCD and Anxiety, so I started worrying that I would get Autism, too. I went home, took a shower and I'm pretty sure my Mom washed those clothes because I left them on the floor. Today I wore the same tank top I THINK I was wearing on that day. I'm just wondering, is it possible for me to get Autism now? I have ADHD, Dyslexia, OCD, Anxiety, and something about math where I get the problems confused and stuff, so dose that mean I'll get Autism? Again, I REALLY don't mean to be mean here, but is it possible for me to get it or am I OK? Please help!

Hey girl! There is absolutely no way that you can get autism from a hug. It is something you are born with and not something that you can catch. You have nothing to worry about!

What happens when you have IBS or hypohydrosis?
what should you dooo




Hey girl! I am not a specialist so you should probably check with a doctor for some better tips, but deodorant can never hurt!
