    I am figuring that you are a teenager, and that the people making fun of you are also teens (and immature ones, at that...) I wouldn't recommend bleaching your arms.... simply because it will damage the hair and make it brittle (which may make it stand on end, break, and give you "split ends" on your arms) and it will dry out your skin.

    I know that it is hard sometimes to put up with others when they tease about things you can't really control, but try to love yourself for who you are, and be proud of it; they will eventually grow up. Until then, let them know you are proud of your heritage! (I don't know where your family is from, but I imagine that the dark hair runs in the family - perhaps you can find out more about them!)

    Is it really really bad? Cause usually if it's just like normal, you can live with it. I've got a lot of friends that have a lot of arm hair, I guess it's pretty normal down here...

    I'm not really sure if it's safe to bleach your arm hair, but if that's what you wanna do, go for it. Personally, though, I think that if your skintone is rather dark, lightening the hair on your arms might just make the hair more noticeable than not.

    blonde(bleach),white(peroxide) gone(wax or elect.) as a very discerning male i prefer as you are the people who make fun of it must be mental 5 yr olds

    Bleaching can make hair grow longer.
