[QUOTE="Star*, post: 152207, member: 4964"] Sometimes - Suggesting to Dude that he needed to take a shower or that he smelled or that he was in dirty outfits was a sign to me that he was depressed. You say you dont' think it is depression - but I'm more inclined to think it is. Telling an older child especially at 24 - that they don't "have it together" via - your body odor etc....is like cutting a weed in the yard. You can take care of the immediate problem, but you are not getting to the root of the problem. A 24 year old young lady that has B.O. to the point you can smell it without being next to her is a red flag. It sounds like she needs a mentor or some sorts, or a roll model type friend or maybe a nice mirror for her room and say "I thougth you would like to see the most beautiful girl I know." and leave it at that.
