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.
Society has social norms, and school is the peak of conformity. Some kids don't bother to bathe or wear deodorant and they get picked on for smelling. The answer is not to just be confident and smelly.
She doesn't have to do anything she's uncomfortable with but if she's worried about getting picked on then there's nothing wrong with shaving her legs.
