You are 12 and you were shorts all year long should shave your legs?

It's generally advisable to wait until you're in your mid-teens to start shaving your legs. There are a few reasons for this.

First, shaving removes the hair from the surface of your skin, but it doesn't remove the root. This means that the hair will grow back quickly, and you may have to shave more often than you'd like.

Second, shaving can irritate your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin. This can cause redness, bumps, and itching.

Third, shaving can increase your risk of ingrown hairs. These are hairs that grow back into the skin, causing pain and irritation.

If you're worried about being hairy, there are a few things you can do instead of shaving. You can try using a depilatory cream or gel, which will dissolve the hair at the surface of your skin. You can also try waxing, which will remove the hair from the root and last for several weeks.

If you do decide to shave your legs, be sure to use a sharp razor and shave in the direction of the hair growth. This will help to reduce irritation and ingrown hairs.
