Because that's when they start growing hair and when their mommies start teaching them to shave. -.-

Although I agree with makeup, girls go through puberty earlier than boys, and thus will start growing hair in places like their armpits earlier. Also, we don't know how old the daughter is in this.

Society makes girls want to wear makeup/shave early on.

I got made fun of in grade 6 for wearing a "real" bra (I had a full A cup at age 11) which is hilarious now because it had the least amount of padding. But I digress girls in middle school will get teased for EVERYTHING most of the time they just want to fit in and I don't think shaving or wearing deodorant (which my dad thought I was too young for at 13) is wrong. I'm sorry if the girls don't tease you about your hairy pits those immature dumb boys will. The 19 year old maybe is dating someone like me that doesn't have much body hair so maybe he just thought all women were like that. (I never shave my legs cause theres really nothing to shave, don't need to wax my face ever, I have hardly any brows, and all I have to do is wax or shave my under arms once a month)

You're ignorant. Everyone enters puberty at different ages. Girls have been known to start puberty earlier than boys. I had the whole works by the time I was in junior high compared to some of my peers that were still not entering puberty while other peers had started puberty before me and went into junior high with everything already set in stone.

Not really the point I was making but okay......

Also if your like me when I was in middle school I had sisters in high school. I mostly started shaving because I wanted to be like them. It's not society teaching girls these things, it's just girls trying to feel grown up.

#93 - Sorry, I was responding to #16. I didn't see your comment that said similar things until now. :)

Sure they do, but they're innies instead of outies.

I hear some guys have innies. :O

*heard

There are some guys who think girls don't poop or fart.

ew. that is all.

Same here. No wonder why so many girls/women are insecure when we are portrayed to be freaks of nature if we actually looks like nature intended.

While I agree with your point I have to disagree with your argument. It IS in fact unhygienic having hair in your armpits. This hairs main reason is to keep the body odor strong. It's a remnant from the time before perfumes and soupes when we were actually attracted to strong body odors. This, of course, goes for both boys and girl but you do actually smell more(/worse) if you don't shave.

body odor was a defense mechanism for early human so you are very wrong

My girlfriend doesn't shave at all. At first I was a little surprised to see a girl with all natural armpit hair but that was before I moved to Columbus where there's about 40% gay population. It's no big deal to me now.

42-I'm sorry, what? That's probably the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard in my life. With that logic it's unhygenic to have hair on your head aswell--**** the fact that having a shower takes care of dirt and odor, not to mention deoderant--and we should all just walk around looking like Rufus the naked mole-rat, only hoping to attract one another based on who is wearing Chanel No. 5. Maybe it's not just your username that is stupid.

*deodorant

48 & 46 do the words pheromones mean anything to you? there are certain chemicals present in body odor when a woman is ovulating and fertile that let men know that she's capable of getting pregnant at that time and there's also chemicals present in a mans body odor that make women attracted to them so yes body odor is not just a defense mechanism it's also a tool for procreation :p (sources: being an insufferable know it all)

Why would they teach about armpit hair in sex ed?

They teach kids about puberty in sex ed.

Not effectively, apparently.
