I have a 13 year old daughter, this statement rings bells! A lot of these kids come from good homes & the ability to wash but prefer to smell like a backyard football game is insane! If the teachers had power like that, I'd campaign for their hire pay

This is kind of off topic for the thread, but I am so confused by this too. Going without a shower for even one day makes me feel like my skin is crawling, and yet I have met so many teens, including one of mine, who act like showering/bathing is a form of torture. It's this never ending battle to get him to shower consistently, and yet his teen sibling showers daily without needing to be asked at all. I don't get it

Don't I know it! I think kids aren't as mean as when I was growing up, I feel like if someone smelled remotely musty, kids would have told them at the least or made fun of them. If i ask my daughter if she bathed she thinks im saying she stinks and gets offended... sometimes that's the case but still
