Details:

Lately, I've been pretty down upon myself. I'm 14 and I have very, very pale skin with black hair. I'm very insecure about my arms, as they are covered in hair. Usually I wear long sleeved clothes to cover my flaws and ugly appearances, but now that I'm getting older, I'm finding it ridiculous to keep covering up. My mom has offered me plenty of times to sit outside for 20 minutes and get start a tan, but the lack of motivation I have doesn't determine me to do so. And I burn to a crisp when I sit outside. When I shave my arms, I hate the prickly feeling and the odd look. I'm just confused and doubtful.

Any tips about these situations? I could really use some :$

FauxPas

Fairly insecure individual myself, nevertheless steadfastly ignored people's commentary regarding physical throughout the years - around your age took the most flak due to wearing a hoodie with the cowl on constantly (mostly classmates, one teacher, parents). Later shaving and hairstyle.
To me, there's a clear boundary betwixt social conduct and conformity; stray too far and you sacrifice something whose compensation is an illusion.
Moreover, though it may not mean much, I think long sleeved dresses and paleness possess a certain elegance, and never found arm hair truly noticeable in any female.
