💨 Abstract

The author recalls experiencing body hair-related bullying in school, leading to years of shaving. This summer, she decided to stop shaving her legs to challenge societal norms. Despite initial fears, she felt comfortable and even found it liberating. Others, like Megan Grundy and Emma Cleary, have also made conscious decisions to stop shaving, influenced by personal beliefs and wanting to set a positive example for younger generations.
