One of the things I've learned over my years of working with teenagers is that they can smell bad. If you haven't experienced the odors that can emanate from a group of middle schoolers, please count yourself lucky.
Lately, we've been noticing a rise in the smells at our youth events. (I mean a literal rise as you can actually see the smell before it arrives at your nasal passage.) There are a few students that obviously have not been educated in regards to proper social hygiene and it's becoming slightly awkward.
We're trying to think of how we can approach the issue without hurting feelings while at the same time trying to prevent what could become "social suicide". It's obvious to many, but so far no one has complained or "made a big stink" about it.
My intern suggested asking some deodorant-making companies for free samples that we could give away, so we may look into that.
But, do you have any other ideas or suggestions of what we could do to educate these students without making them feel singled out?

one of the most memorable, and also i think admirable, moments in my freshman year was being there when an upperclassman at college approach a freshman friend of mine and in the most gracious, straightforward, honest, genuine, and even "cool" way i could ever have imagined, came into the room, threw the guy some deodorant, and said with a gentle grin and a compassionate chuckle, "here, dude, you gotta start wearing this."
its like i tell my friends at school here, if i go into the washroom and see i have food in my teeth and it is well after i've eaten anything, i am offended that none of my friends bothered to tell me. friends don't let friends reek, or walk around with their flys open or stuff in their teeth.
its tough love, baby, or it ain't love at all.
I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues?
A handful of my blog readers have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome.
Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?
Some examples of remedies prescribed in Lal Kitab are Throwing copper coins in running water, taking blessings of elders by touching their feet, praying and worshiping god and goddesses, refrain from alcohols, offering food to disabled, helping widows, offering food to crows, cows or dogs.

Your birthday reveals a lot about your career potential, working style and compatibility with future coworkers. The day you are born can tell you more specific things about your working potential, but your star sign also reveals a lot, especially regarding the people you will work best with in class and your job.
Diwali pujan ki aarti I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I found this in my hunt for something relating to this.
I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing problems with your site. It appears like some of the written text within your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This may be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before. Thanks

“Next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t disappoint me as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, however I really believed you would have something interesting to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you weren’t too busy searching for attention.”
Very good blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost
on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress
or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
Any tips? Thank you
