Today, I taught my 12-year-old brothers that showering cannot be used as a substitute for deodorant, and that they should use both. One of them was almost in tears. FML

Usually you would have to tell them that deodorant is not a substitute for showering, but I guess that works too.

Teach them that if they smell nice, that they are most likely to get a girl to like them. Boys that age are mostly interested in that haha (from my experience)

He was probably tearing up from the awful odor emanating from him.

Depends. Do you wash yourself at least once per day? If not, then you're somewhat likely to be at least unclean, although I wouldn't immediately jump to calling you "filthy".

Depends #17, Maybe your environment is cold and you don't move around enough to work up any kind of sweat. But it's still a good idea to change the sheets on your bed regularly and have a shower at the very least every three days, just to be on the safe side. I gather nearing the end of that week, you probably smell quite rank, and why leave it till it gets to that point?

Well they could have a lot worse alternatives. At least they are clean, for the most part.

Well 19 is implying, or I'm inferring from his wording, that he thinks demo cleans.

#87 - you realise the FML says they are showering and NOT using deodorant right? so what #19 is implying, is actually correct.

#99 - maybe you should check where people are from BEFORE you try and tell them they are spelling things incorrectly.

I don't think many boys at that age are very hygienic, so good job for trying
