Hello Oumi98 and welcome to Bellaonline. I hope you will find some answers to your query here. What you describe is a really difficult set of circumstances and virtually takes over your life as you need to deal with it. I have first hand experience with this as my niece suffered just as you describe and it took a strong person to handle the consequences. My best advice right now is to try to convey to you that while yes, you are different and not all girls teenagers and young women have this condition, you are nevertheless an okay person and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Unfortunately, other peole around you, including boyfriends and friends and teachers and relatives most often cannot handle it (they often feel like they have to on your behalf) and there is a lot to be uncomfortable about in your relationships. Going swimming is a test for you, removing the hair where you can time consuming and costly and all the time life goes on. From my experience it does get better as time goes on, but in the meantime knowing that doesn't really help. Some women eventually decide that the results of treatment are not worth the time, effort, and cost, or they grow more comfortable with their body hair - but at your age this will be difficult. I hope that you find some measure of this acceptance too. In the meantime, speak to someone professional regularly (your priest, doctor, nutritionist, counsellor etc) as hirsutism really can affect your whole approach to your life and often in hurtful ways. If this all sounds like gobbeldygook to you, well and good! I wish you the best and send you self esteem and patience and love ... Lestie Container Gardening Editor.
