Today, I started growing hair on my upper lip. I'm finally becoming a man! Too bad I'm a 17 year old girl. FML

that's actually a myth, however you've even got the myth wrong. When you shave hair it appears to grow in darker because as opposed to growing in naturally and tapering to a point like normal hair, it has a blunt edged due to being cut by the razor. Waxing pulls the hair out at the root and therefore when it grows back would not appear any darker than the hair before.

its normal- and trust me, other people wont see it as clearly as you do. you may think that its "omg so dark and awful and hairy", but i can bet that no one else is even going to notice, or care for that matter.

All these solutions sound expensive and/or painful. Here's a better one: 1) Buy a six-pack of beer in a paper sack 2) Put bag over head 3) Hand beer to a guy 4) Watch him drink it all 5) Remove bag and have your way with the drunk guy. Pretty cheap and there is no pain involved, except for when the guy sobers up and realizes that he just slept with a dude, but that's his problem.

Ahh, poor you! I've hair on my upperlip since i got hair everywhere, pretty early. You have to wax it, it really helps. Good luck.

stop whinning and wax like the rest of us

this is not an fml, it happens to many women/girls. wax or bleach it, DON'T shave it, like someone suggested.

hehe. Just don't be like those women who don't care and do nothing about it. You have no idea how many women I've encountered at work (as a waitress) and they have a full-blown caterpillar on their upper lip. Lol so hard not to stare.

90% of women have hair on their upper lip. Just wax them off.

What the ****... are you ok? Majority of girls get hair on there upperlip, including me. Go wax or bleach it. Oh, and 17 is really late, I started getting hair on my upperlip when I was 11. Just WOW!!

Ahem, unless you're a natural blonde and then the hair on your face, arms, and legs grows out pretty damn light. Ive never had to do anything to my face, although my step-sisters have (they're both brunettes). It's completely natural, but yeah, I personally have never had to deal with it, and that's not a lie. I also rarely, if ever, pluck my eyebrows. If I do, I have to be SUPER careful because one wrong hair, and there's a hole in my eyebrow. They're super thin and blonde-ish. I do, however, get darker hair under my arms and around the bikini area (my sicilian/mexican/portuguese side had to come out somewhere). Under my arms, I did laser hair removal, and Im saving up to do it in the bikini area as well!
