There is no scientific evidence that shaving causes hair to grow back thicker....

It only appears that way because the natural tip of any given hair has a long taper to a very thin point at the end. When you shave off the thin tip of the hair, the rest of the piece that has kept growing will now appear to be thicker by comparison because it is now more easily visible. But the actual hair width is the same.

Is there any bad effects to shaving or waxing your legs besides cutting your self when you shave and if you started at a young age like 12?

NO there isn't many people traditionally believed that shaving would cause the hair shaved to become thicker and darker. However, this bit of conventional wisdom has been disproved. The resulting stubble only makes the hairs seem to be thicker, as a shaved hair has a blunt end as opposed to the tapered end of an unshaven hair, and because hair is often darker in color near the root. Clinical studies have demonstrated that shaving does not have an effect on hair growth rates or density.
