Why does my 15 years old sister always smells bad?

Even when she showed 20 minutes ago, this girl always

Has a bad smell. Its like she's carrying a dead animal in her pants

Whats the deal?

Shes the only one like that in the whole family, plus when shes

On her period she smells 10 times worse ! Ugh I feel so bad

For her :(

It could be that even though she's showering, she's not getting clean or otherwise not being appropriately hygienic. If she's 15, she is probably pretty new to the smelly sweat and bodily fluids that come with puberty, so she might not be washing all that away very well in the shower - or when she gets out of the shower, she might be putting a dirty pair of pants or underwear on instead of clean ones. Hard to say. Do your parents notice the smell? Have they said anything about it?

Have you talked to her about this? She might already know she smells and be embarrassed about it, or might have no idea how bad it is, but either way she might appreciate some tips on how to smell clean - especially if you can approach the topic in a discreet way and help her out personally.

Maybe her natural smell is just off-putting. I had a friend like that in school that regardless of how many times he showered or changed, that he still smelled bad. Be careful being around her when she has her period because I heard it can attract bears.

Teenagers often think showering just involves standing under the water for a few minutes.

Teenage boys are worst, but it can be just as bad with teenage girls.

Because she doesn't like to bathe
