My little cousin is 13 and has gotten it in his head he doesn't have to shower, brush his teeth, use deodorant/good smelly products, while I understand that deodorant isn't the main issue, HE HAS TO BRUSH HIS TEETH AND SHOWER, especially since he plays sports. He's handsome too, and always been smooth with the ladies, even in preschool, but it's always been difficult to get him to do hygienic things, like wash his hair. Besides convincing him that ladies/gentlemen prefer a person who showers and smells good, I'm at a loss. And I'm not sure how to proceed in getting this through his head... He's turned into the older version of the kid, "Frankenstein", from "Big Daddy" staring Adam Sandler... I wish he had Scuba Steve to help him get into the bath at this point.
Please help me. I will be showing him the responses of the MHOs of both girls and guys, and there will be many, I hope, just to prove to him that people don't want to be around you if you're smelly.
Do you like a "smelly" partner? How do I combat this "smelly, definitely NOT a bed of roses" new teen?
Does he suffer from depression? Usually the first sign that someone is depressed is they stop all hygiene practices. Another thing is that he is going through puberty and guys have an unmistakable scent that rivals a musk ox. Its a horrible smell and not to mention the smell of animal flesh rotting between his teeth. His not taking care of his teeth now will affect him when he gets old not to mention cost him lots of money. Also poor dental hygiene can actually cause someone to die. When all of his friends start hanging with girls and he doesn't have any girls that are friends he will get it. Either that or his teachers will pull him aside and address the issue. True story here: My husband worked with a man who wouldn't clean himself properly. He had the smell of a sour unwashed backside. His fellow coworkers went to management and complained about his body odor. He was actually written up on numerous occasions and also lost his job because of his unwashed body. Don't let something as special as hygiene set the tone for disappointment the rest of your life.
Every time he comes home pour/smother sticky body gel on him. He is sure to feel fucked up. Do it everytime he comes from outside. Tell him you won't stop until he takes shower after arriving on his own.
It depends on how strong the smell is but overall, it's best to do something about it. Even if their an SO. But I'd make him use body spray and find ways to encourage him when he does
I assume at 13 his hormones are surging through his body and he gets horny when he uses a cute girl. I'm not saying a 13 year should be acting upon his sexual urges.
Just have a little talk with him. See if there is a particular girl he likes. And then explain that girls are turned off by boys who don't practice good hygiene. When he ponders that for a few minutes he will be in the shower twice a day and brush his teeth daily and use mouthwash just to be ready if he ever gets a chance to kiss a girl.
Hey let it be. Lol believe me take this moment and love it because very soon its all going to come together for him this is the calm before the storm this is you time to be resting because when the storm his the water flows you won't beable to keep up lol
Todd has a foot fetish and practically gets off smelling my feet. He’s a freak, But I don’t think even he can handle my body odor and underarms after my Saturday long run, time to shower!
