This girl has a REALLY bad BO problem...

There's a new girl in my class who has just come over from India to do 6th form at our school. She has made herself very unpopular as she shouts out in lessons and her manner is very intimidatory. This is, I believe, due to the way she was brought up and she will learn to adjust to our school's way of doing things. She has put a lot of peoples' backs up and some people in my class are just racist anyway and make fun of her all the time.

The problem is she has a really TERRIBLE BO problem, and I'm not talking a little bit smelly, nobody can bear to stand next to her because it smells so bad. We were all waiting to go in to Biology yesterday, and it's in a very small corridor and all of us had to pile outside because the smell was going to make us sick. I don't understand how she can not know about this smell, she must never ever wash or something, but why haven't her family told her about it? It's revolting, and she thinks the reason no-one talks to her is because she's from India, but it's really due to her BO! What should I do to let her know? I don't want to come out and say "You've got BO get some deodorant!"

Any suggestions welcomed.

It's Christmas soon, so if you can wait that long you could buy her a nice gift set and hopes she gets the hint!

ok... do you care whether or not this girl likes you or not? If you dont care whether or not she lieks you, come right out and tell her... but dont do it in public, that's humiliating for her. Just take her aside and say it gently.

If on the other hand, you care about whether or not she lies you, find someone who doesnt care and get them to tell her.

How can you do that politely?

"You smell"
"You stink"
"You need a wash"
"You have a potent stench"
"heard of deodrant?"

all seem rude to me :rofl:

We had a similar problem in our school with these 2 indian twins that really stink. They were really nice guys and always had a smile on their face but whenever they were in the vicinty, you could tell it was them - it was that bad. They only hanged around with each other, i dont know if that is because they were smelly or just because they were new (arrived in 6th form). I didnt do anything as i'm not the type of person who would do that. They got quite a lot of abuse from other people - they were nicknamed onion and bhaji and if they walked into a room someone would say "no sorry we dont have any deoderant here". Funny but a bit too harsh.

If you don't hang around with them much then i would just not say anything.

maybe talk to a teacher about it- guidance counsellor/school nurse? you don't even know this girl- it's not gonna be very nice coming from anyone- but she might just think you are being horrible.
however, it's not your problem to be honest

You say she thinks people don't like her because she is Indian, and people make fun of her...your signature would suggest this!

(Although I do find this very funny).

Get one of the teachers to say it! You can bully them into it, by telling them they have a responsibility to show concern for any personal issues the girl has! :p:

Or just tell her discreetly, she'll get over it.

like you say they are rascists, sounds like she needs a friend, you should talk to her privately maybe she hasn't had to worry about it untill now, someone needs to tell her befroe someone says it nastily why should people be racist andmake fun just becuase she smells its not nice!!
i knwo someoen who smelt i made friends with her unfortaunatly she left and didn;t speck to her again!

Yes i've noticed that generally, indians smell. This is not to say that all indians smell, its just a lot that i have met do smell. Its similar to saying that all argentines are dirty players (in a footballing sense), or all arabs are airy (like me!) or jews are greedy with their money. This is not to say that all jews are greedy (some are very nice and generous) or all argentines are dirty players (e.g. Javier Zanetti), its just a general trend.

Take her to one side and just mention it to her. Don't do it in front of anyone else. Or if you don't fancy that leave her an anonymous note (making sure it doesn't sound like you're just taking the piss).

Lol! That would be so funny! If you left her an anonymous note and she saw it, thought; "Silly jokers!" and then binned it :p:

Classic comedy. :eek:
