other college students bad breath or body odor is very offensive. We all want to feel like
part of a group, but when our poor hygiene gets in the way, you may find you do not
have very many friends.
As parents, we need to encourage our children to practice good dental and
personal hygiene, so that when they are adults they will develop good hygiene habits.
At an early age as young as 11 years old, boys start to notice their body changing.
They may find out from their school friends that they have bad body
odor or bad breath. To get the attention they want they need to take care of
themselves. Good grooming results in improved self confidence and better health.
There are varies products to purchase to prevent body odor, like body
sprays, cologne.
