I've ben really bothered with this ...i think ive been going crazy just thinking about this..So my friends calls me up to her and says, "hey..i heard someone talking about you..." and me, hoping it was something good , became all excited. and i asked what it was. she's like, " they say that you smell. isnt that mean?"i was flabbergasted. i mean, how could someone be so mean? I DONT SMELL. and even the very very rare time i do, its not outrageous or something. i always ask my mom if i do smell, as i admit to having a sweating problem under my pits. but to go around telling people that i do...thats just mean.what should i do? to be honest, now i just cant get this out of my brain...i feel that this is maybe the reason why i dont have a boyfriend, or many real friends....oh, this sucks...why did my freind have to tell me anyway? then when i asked her who said it, she kinda just brushes it off and said she didnt know who said it. WHAT? why tell me then? maybe she wants to tell me that i do, and she's making up this lie that someone else did?im really confused...plus, does anyone know a real way to cure over-sweating?

 She might be telling you this, to make you aware of it. She could be trying to be a good friend and let you know, before more people notice and talk about it. And as for the sweat, they sell clinical strength deodorant without perscription now.

I can't wear any colors other then black on top because I constantly have sweat rings under my arms. People in school called me sweaty betty and it does really hurt. There is a surgery for this, it is rather simple and non-invasive. I believe medical insurance covers it too if the condition is bad. I can't remember the name of the condition, do a google search for "over active underarm perspiration" and you'll get results. My sweat does not stink, and I sweat even when I'm cold. My hands & feet are also usually clammy. Deodorant doesn't help. What I would suggest are under arm pads to trap the sweat, change them through out the day at school in the bathroom. And wear black to be safe..

Tell her that if people were talking bad about her you would come to her defense. And let her know that it bothered you the fact that someone said something mean about you and she didn't even care or defend you.
And then ignore her until she apologizes to you and she realises that she was wrong.
And in the meantime, while you ignore her try to make other friends and try to become really cool in school so that she will feel even worse. Like maybe join a club or a sports team. Try to dress really cute. You know just try to be really cool. She will feel really bad then. But DON'T be mean to her or talk bad about her or anything like that. Cause that will just come back to you. All I am saying is just ignore her. But if you run into her be nice, say hi, just keep it short.

 Shower everyday, use antiperspirant and deodrant and if needs be, bring the can to school and use it there if it bothers you.
