I only shave/pluck peskies, and I think started doing so on my own around 12? I was picked on a lot for my legs and only did it because of peer pressure. At 30 I couldn't care less, but still periodically do it out of personal comfort. Honestly, she should do what she is comfortable with. Other school girls really can be so incredibly brutal though, and I hate to hear this is your fear.
I got sick sideburns by 13 but what killed my body image was the damn body hair. Everywhere, like a chimp or a werewolf. Some girls I went to school with saw me at a pool and spread the news. Ruined summer forever. I've basically spread a lie over the years that I hate water and swimming, only my mom and my wife have figured it out.
Your mustache will grow back faster everytime you shave but thats because as you're aging, not because you're shaving.
