lol! So funny....my DH can't grow hair to save his life!!! He is 26 & doesn't have a single hair on his chest!!
When he was 16 he was paranoid too, coz he was the only one without hair under his arms!!
Sorry I'm not much help, just letting you know it works the other way too.

I asked my DP about htis and he said that if he didnt want to have bare legs he would just trim the hair with some scissors. This will make it look less dense but will still leave him with some hair cover.
I agree with Hollye about just letting him wear pants to school until he feels more secure in himself to wear shorts. I know I like to cover my legs becaue I hate the shape of my calf muscles. I'd rather be a bit hot than to have to worry about ppl looking at my legs.

Thanks for your advice everyone
I do let him wear pants to school, the only issue with this is that he then gets picked on for wearing long pants when everyone else is in shorts! Kids are mean and really, he can't win.
He has started trimming his legs with scissors and that seems to be making him feel more comfortable in shorts.

Clippering would be the easiest and best option, it looks obvious for the first couple of days but then starts to look natural after that. DP clippers his belly and chest all the time otherwise you wouldn't know he had one

I really feel for your son! Kids can be so cruel and it's such a sensitive age.
I spoke to my DH who actually shaves his entire body - he's a triathlete. He says to encourage your son to get into a sport where they have to shave their bodies (including legs) so he is with like-minded people. Cycling, swimming, gym training and even some football codes are very open to having a hair-free body.
And, on a more holistic level, getting into these kinds of sports are so good for health and wellbeing - including sweating out all that pent up testosterone!
I hope it all goes well.
