I am very sweaty and need help. Please..

I sweat more than anyone I have ever met. I cannot wear shirts with sleeves because they get SOAKED after sitting in air-conditioning and doing nothing. I can barely buy clothes without every single thing having a dark wet puddle that shows through. I am so self conscious and I have yet to find a deodorant that will stop all the excessive sweat. The smel isn't a problem but I have a waterfall under my arms. Someone PLEASE help. I don't know what to do any more. I am so utterly afraid of being made fun of because I sweat through everything. Is there some type of super antiperspirant?!?!? Is there a pill or something? Maybe like pads for your pits? I don't even know anymore. Someone please help. I am so ashamed of my body that I don't even wanna go out anymore. I'm 13 and I feel like such an idiot because of this. Thank you,

I suggest you make a doctor's appointment to find out if there is any underlying cause for your excessive sweating. Though some people do just sweat more than others and there are prescription strength antiperspirants, along with other treatment options(like botox under the arms to block sweat glands). Those are all things you will have to look into and talk about with your doctor to find out what will work best for you.
