Advice: BO Business
My friend has really strong body odor issues, people talk
about it, and it's hard to defend her because its true, she's oblivious to the
situation! How do I help? We're starting a new classroom and I would like her to
start off fresh. Literally!

First of all I would like to say you're a great friend
trying defend and help her, while sparing her feeling. Why don't you invite her
over for a sleep-over or for a girls day and talk; Deodorant, Scented Lotion,
Body Wash. Talk about the brands! What Body Spray do you keep in you're locker
for after gym class! Invite her to use some of yours, talk about showering
habits. How often do you take a shower,
give her a reason why you shower so frequently! If that doesn't work, tell her
that you heard someone talking about another person (who you forgot the name
of) I emphasize FORGOT the name of, remember we're sparing her feelings. Tell
her that people are talking about that person and you feel bad because that
person is oblivious! And anyone could be in the same position and you feel bad!
And also encourage her to keep body spray and deodorant with her, if you have
to, ask her if you smell! It will open her up about healthy habits!
