What do I do about a stinky girl?
there is this girl in my class who always smells really bad, and she wears the same outfit every day. she thinks she's all tough, but the only reason no one wants to go near her is cause she smells like poop. she has to threaten people to sit with her, like 'sit here or i'll kick your but' and she'll just but in in a conversation you're having with someone else, saying something completely stupid and random, like 'tom brady's gay,' and then laughing at her own "joke"
what should i do? she smells really bad, but i cant avoid her; she buts in my conversations all the time, and she has started following one of my best friends around, cause she has none of her own. HELP!
just so you know, i USED to be friends with her-i've been to her house. her mom and dad are really nice, and her house is HUGE and really nice. she treats her parents like crap, like telling them to shut up and go away and stuff.
Cappy, farmers do NOT all smell bad! i live on a farm, and i still smell like fruit 95% of the time! one of my guy friends is a farmer too, and he ALWAYS smells good!

Simplify it. If you can raise some money,about $200.00 dollars,I think you should tell the teacher what your doing and have her and other teacher's to help in buying a few set's of cloth for her. Well just take her to a clothing store,help her pick out matching design's so she can make 3 or 4 outfits out of 2. Well just be straight out with her,tell her she stink's and so do her cloth that your gonna take her out and get cloth's and shes gonna have a nice hot bath and your gonna wash her hair for her and style it for her. Then your
take her out that night and the only thing she'll be smellin like is roses,and maybe a new boyfriend!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think she secretly does know shes smells but doesnt have the parental help to sort it and the money and means to do so herself. she prob comes from a deprived home and is desperatly sdeeking attention when she says those things i bet she dont mean it and uses her "toughness" as a way to try and get friends. I think you two should try and be her friend.. perhaps suggest a sleepover at yours or your friends and then casually mention that her toughness is what makes people not want to be her friend.. then after a while and she has gained your trust perhaps suggest that people in the school are saying that - IN A NICE WAY and say you wanna help. Perhaps donate some old clothes? She sounds like she could really do with a friend!!! You can walk away or stand up and help someone thats reaching out for you and your friends help!!

If this girl has a truly offensive odor then I suggest you speak to the teacher about it, it is a teachers job to ensure that students are able to learn without distractions such as this. Also a teacher, being an adult can approach this delicate personal subject in a non offensive way. This girl may have problems you do not understand, she may have only one outfit suitable to wear, there may be family problems, she may have personal problems.....these are none of anyone's business as it may cause her extreme embarassment. Show a little kindness and patience, no one is perfect in this world, and this girl obviously could use a bit of understanding.

Do you know where she lives? Does she live on a farm? Do you know if she might be homeless? Farmers are around lots of animals and their clothing can pick up the odors.
People who are homeless or who live in shelters do not have access to a shower on a daily basis.
Regardless, the best thing to do is quietly inform the school nurse or guidance office and ask them to talk to her in privately about her hygiene. They may be able to offer her some resources to help her and she won't be as embarrassed as she would if other students mentioned it to her.

Did it ever occur to you that this poor girl is hurting a lot. Maybe her parents do nothing for her- no clean clothes (maybe she only has one or two outfits) - who knows maybe her family lives in a car and has no shower.
If you only had one outfit and no way to get clean - would you act all tough? Would people avoid you?

Have you ever thought that...
a) She might be homeless! Tons of kids in America go to school everyday eat breakfast and lunch for their only meal. In the evening time they go outside and live on the streets with their family. Chances are she is homeless if she rarely changes her clothing.
b) That she is a lonely girl in a bad situation. You have a family that cares about you and takes care of you she doesn't.
c) That she is probably tired of being picked on, and feeling like she's on the outside. She obviously have issues at home if she can't shower and change her clothing everyday. However, to go to school and be mistreated by the kids in addition to dealing with what she must be dealing with on the streets must be very difficult for her.
d) When I was in jr high a girl came to school smelling like fish everyday. She smelled so, bad the class laughed and teased her. I remembered thinking how can I get away from her. Later on, I was told that she was sick and her family had no health insurance so, she couldn't go to the doctor. I felt bad for laughing, but after you do it then it's too late to take it back.
e) If she's butting into your conversations it's because she wants to be your friend and even though you don't stink, have friends, and a family that cares about you it's not necessary for you to make her feel like she's beneath you. Try to be decent to her even if you don't like her.
f) Put yourself in her shoes: Try to imagine what your life would be like if you went from home to home, roaming the streets, were unable to shower or get clean clothing, then you come to school and no one likes you, because of something that you cannot help. She might have a great deal of mental and emotional scars already, but please don't add to them!

you can start peeping in her conversations and doing the same as she does with you,just try finding out any of her secrets that she wunt want to be spilled off,then you can black mail her that if you force me to sit wid you again,or follow my best friend,then i ll spill off this secret.
or,
when she is actually peeping into your onversations,then do one thing,that just get one chance when shes just around u n just listening to your toks,then whoever you are speaking to you can say,that she stinks...she'll feel depressed but at the same time,when she realises that because f her outfit nones' being her friend,then she l change it,and maybe that people would start interacting with her...
hope this helped

ask your teacher or guidance counselor to talk to her about her hygiene.. the poor girl just wants to be friends with someone. she probably lives in a home where the house is not clean or laundry isnt done... she wasnt taught correctly.. you can still reach out to her and be her friend... i'm taking it that yous are all girls,so invite her over to spend the night.. have her take a shower and while she is in the shower,wash her clothes... she just wants to be loved and fit in.. she isnt getting it at home... be a real friend....

Try to tell a teahcer about her anoying you and your friends and tell her about it then say you dont really mean to say it then....... RuNNNNNNNN. cuase she might kick you :) and try ignoring her and when ever you see her or she sees you and your friends go to the toilet quickly ( that works on me when i hide to someone) then that just go away from her and when she say she is going to kick your's and your firends's butt just take it then tell the teacher cuase sometimes she is just scaring you but she cant do it and i really hope i helped you
