 Electrolysis is the only completely permanent way to remove hair, but it's pretty scary. Here's a video for that:

Laser hair removal works well too, but it only removes 80-90% of the hair. Here's a video that might give you some more info:

Also, I haven't browsed around the internet in a while for this, but there are plenty of sites out there that are dedicated to hair removal and may be able to give you tips on how to keep from getting those bumps - I have the same problem when I shave and such.

 Laser or electrolysis are more permannet methods but have you tried using diffrent types of wax like hot wax (no wax strips needed as the wax hardens and you just peel it off) its more effect on smaller areas, sugaring both hand and strip are good for bikini lines

 My straight advice is to shave it. Yeah it grows back but you have to deal or just let it grow natural. Even with waxing its painful and comes back. There are some new electric shaver made for the private area you might want to do some looking into. I can't make any specific recommendations, but they are out there, and I hear they are pretty effective, no risk of cutting or irritation.
Another alternative I have heard about is an electronic zapping process that can burn the hairs off even to the roots. You would have to find a speciallist to do this type of work (can't do it yourself, so be prepareed to bare it). Again...do some homework, you might find a speciallist in your area that can do this type of work.
But do a little thinking before you decide to do Permanent removal. Right now its the style to go hairless, but you'll see in a few years that might change. Styles always changed, even down south! Also as you grow up you might decide that you're comfortable with your hair, and your significant other might actually like it that way too. In that case to hell with style and fashion.

 Laser therapy is very good (I personally recommend that). It is not as expensive as it used to be. A bit painful but nothing compared to repeated waxing, plucking and all that.
