My oldest I think was 14 (the summer before 8th grade.) Might have had something to do with band camp (first time hanging around boys regularly after they became, well, boys). My youngest is such a blonde that her leg hair was almost invisible, but when she made cheerleader in 8th grade she HAD to shave (her emphasis, not mine!) Otherwise what would the other girls say about her???
My cousin and her best friend thought they had the answer when their mothers wouldn't let them shave in the sixth grade. They "accidentally" used the friends older sisters Nair and claimed they thought it was lotion, and tried to convince them that since they'd already removed the hair once they needed to start shaving already...as I recall that argument didn't work.
