Is it true that shaving under your arms makes it grow thicker?

Kinda-sorta, but not really.
The hair that you have has been out and about for awhile. It's gotten chafed against clothes, bedclothes and skin. It's been washed and dried. All these things have worn the hair down a bit, making it softer.
Now, if you were to shave that off, the new hair when it emerges will be brand spanking new, and so a little stiffer and a little coarser.
Give it some time, and it will get worn just like the "old" hair.

Where are you supposed to shave?
You don't HAVE to shave anything. I suggest shaving under the arms, on the legs, don't shave your arms! It'll grow back thick and dark. As for private areas, use Nair and ask your mom to get your some razers.
You have little bumps on your armpit but why and how do you get rid of it?
Are you pushing when you shave your arm pits? When I did that I got bumps too. Now I glide over my under arms with a razor and use a good shaving creme or other product. Shaving creme dulls your razor quickly and I find that hair conditioner or coconuts oil makes a great supplement. Hope I help you. ;)

Shaving your arms is not bad for your health. It is a personal choice, like deciding if you want to shave your legs or not. But if you keep shaving your arm hair it will look like it's growing in faster and and of a darker color. But that's a temporary result of the cutting action of shaving.

You are covered with hair except for the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. But at puberty, the hairs under your arms begins to get thicker.
