I'm having a body crisis.

For my age (mid teens) I'm pretty damn hairy. My ankles pretty much up to my pelvis is covered with lots of dark colored hair, and it makes me super self conscious so I never wear shorts.It's driving me crazy. I don't want to shave it and have NO hair and have to deal with stubble and all that.I've been talking to this boy at my school, and it's going fine, I'm just worried about what he'll think when he sees how hairy I am. I know you all are just going to say "they should love you for who you are, otherwise you don't need them" but let's be realistic.
