a middle schooler with shaggy legs...is that even possible?
Speaking from experience, yes.
I didn't want to go anywhere with a swimsuit sometime after gradeschool. At one point my friend commented on my legs when we were at the pool, I don't remember the exact thing she said any more but it had the word "forest" in it. The few times I've gone swimming in adulthood I've worn shorts. Shaving isn't worth it, and I'm more comfortable not exposing my legs as if I were only wearing underwear anyway.
Though I've never been said those things, I just found shaving a pain. Besides, no one at my area really bothers staring at people's legs so we were cool, and with the pandemic going on, I think quite a few people stopped shaving for a while.
Same here, I'm the same age as my brother and when we started getting hairy (because puberty obviously) I always used to cry because I have to shave and it was painful and he didn't have to do that. In that time I really wished to be a boy.
Girls have to shave, be pretty, wear a bra, etc and boys can be free. That's was I used to think
But now I don't give a fuck a about those things hopefully.
