This girl I sit next to in class has really bad breath. I’m sure she smokes too,but how do I let her know without hurting her feelings and offering her mints and gum all the time spending MY money?

It depends, are you friends with her, or do you just sit beside her?
If you are friends with her I would just simply say, “I feel bad bringing this up, but I don’t want people talking about you badly, so I just wanted you to know that your breath is bad, and I can smell it from far away”
If you just sit beside her, I would leave a note on her desk, type it so she doesn’t know who it is from, get to class early, slip it on her desk before she gets there. If you are brave you could just hand it to her.
But, I would be super nice about it in the note, and write it as though you are doing her a favor..
Buy her stocks in Wrigley Gum and give them to her. Let the hint speak for itself.
The problem with having bad breath, is the person having it, often doesn’t realize it. So it would be a kindness by you, to let her know.
Of course the smoking doesn’t help either.
Just be as nice and kind as you can, but you will be doing her a big favor, if you let her know. Then at least, she can brush her teeth more, and use a mouthwash, etc.
First, you need to understand what causes bad breath. The more knowledge you have the better you will be at helping someone else solve the problem. The major cause of bad breath is the bacteria on the top of the tongue. These bacteria produce the bad smells. Using mints and gum just covers up the bad breath, they do not kill the bacteria. To cure bad breath you must remove the bacteria that causes bad breath. This takes a tongue cleaner. I use an OraBrush. Here is their website: http://www.orabrush.com Now you are prepared to tell your friend, after you have cleaned your tongue you can tell her that you had some bad breath and this is how you solved it. Offer the opportunity to get an OraBrush. Or, you could buy two of them, one for you and one for her.
