My mom let me shave my legs at 12. I remember in jr. high my best friend was not allowed to shave her legs. She was Pentecostal and wasn't allowed to wear pants either. The kids used to tease her so bad, she would burst out into tears. i used to stick up for her. It was so hurtful. I think if your daugher is being teased, she should be allowed to do it, so long as you supervise her to make sure she doesn't hurt herself. Peer pressure is rough but being teased is even worse.
