  Case: Body Odor
A student walks past you as they enter the classroom, and they smell horrible. How can you address this without embarrassing the student and keeping the student around them from being disruptive?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You could approach the student privately and mention how as we go through puberty our bodies produce more oder so it's completely normal but we have to be mindful of our hygiene in public. You could then suggest the student get some deodorant and bathe regularly. If you have a teacher supply of deodorant you could offer that to the student.

Comments: I don't think this is the best way to address this situation. I understand the trying to relate to the student and everything, but I don't think the puberty mention is necessary. It would come off as awkward.
