Hygiene please and thank you.



Growing up has changed me in a lot of ways, but one way in particular. I am not a super freak germophobic crazy anti-touchy person, but hygiene is a huge deal to me. I do not and will not understand how people cannot brush their teeth daily, or shower regularly. FLIPPIN GROSS. Like we live in the 2000's in the United States of America. I know maybe your previous culture doesn't shower all the time, or can't--cool, I understand, but now you're in America, we have millions of showers, and I know there are lots of places you can shower and brush your teeth. It disgusts me. And I know how I think of others who smell, and I don't want people to be breathing through their shirts around me, so I refuse to go without showering. I feel horrible without it. I feel the same about brushing my teeth, it's like it makes me feel better knowing I have a shiny and beautiful smile, and not a smelly grimy one. I feel as though with growing up and becoming more mature, you need to take care of your personal hygiene and shower daily and brush your teeth. No one likes morning breath or body odor, Trust me. And if they do, they have larger issues than just hygiene. Growing up has taught me though you should not care about what others think, you should care about how others might think of you. As far as cleanliness goes that is. Growing up also taught me a ton about why you should be clean, it can affect your job prospects, relationships, as well as just living day to day life different because people will treat you differently, and I’ve learned that through personal experience and observing it. Sometimes, it is a good idea to consider others thoughts about you.

  1. I completely agree.I don't think that showering or brushing teeth is an unusual thing to do. I look at it as something that should be done on a daily basis sometimes more than once a day.
