You Stink!!

[carmen]

That once happened to a bunch of us in gym class. A girl just didn't know about deoderant I guess. So what some girls did, which was a bit mean in a way, was buy 10 sticks of deoderant and just "randomly" handed them out, and gave that girl two. But she started using it, and afterwards there was no problem.

If he's not like your really good friend who you can tell a lot of things to, don't come right out and say it. It could come out wrong and offend him. Just slowly imply it and I'm sure, sooner or later, he'll get it.

I do not have the ability to tell someone they smell bad, I just can't. Well, probably if we were close like family, but that would probably take a while.

I once had a friend and I just KNEW if he was around because there was a certain smell in the air, not a good one either, but my friends and I just kept quiet, plus we're girls and a girl telling a guy that would be pretty humiliating. I tried talking to his cousin though, but I chickened out.

This is just one of the things that escapes my realm of doing. Wahhh.

honestly it would always be nice to let the person know,
something as subtle as sticking a friendly letter in the persons locker.
if not a friend you could always do it anonymously, but in the case of a friend a heart to heart talk is always a good thing

i would tell them if they do smell because it's best to let them know to prevent further embarassment

If he is your friend then tell him, but in a nice way that would not hurt him. So that he could improve himself and prevent it.

I do tell my girl friends and boy friends. I don't say it in a rude way and I don't say it in a patronizing way and hty end up smelling somewhat better. ^^

If your friend is your true friend she should be able to politely tell you something that might make other people not like you and be able to understand when they are on the recieving end or it's all hopeless.

If you are very close to the friend it will be a good idea to let them know, because they may not know this for themself.

First let me stop laughing!! Seeing how this is a common problem everyone deals with once or twice in their lives. If the people with B.O. is a friend or associate the most important thing to remember is tact, tact, and tact. No one enjoys being embarrassed or humiliated, even if they have a hideous, burn your nose hairs odor emitting a fog from their body!! There is a time and a place to discuss even the most sensitive of topics. I wouldn’t blurt out “you stink” unless the person didn’t get the hints or was terribly annoying beyond reason. Now let me begin laughing once again…(hahaha)

[wickedfx]

for the sake of that person getting put down by others I would let them know.

But how u can tell`em without offending`em , specially if the person u`d tell to is sensitive it`s another problem coz he/she may take it in the wrong way..
I see that only the situation alone can control it .I mean ; if that one asked ur advice (and then u may say to urself Halaloya it`s my lucky day finally) then u may gentley say ur opinion .. if not and u cant bare it anymore then try to sneak the most perfect opportunity and open the thing with him/her... remember that`s only if they were sensitive ..but if they were open persons then there wouldnt be a problem
