Hi, So I'm a sophomore in high school and I start school tomorrow therefore I am bringing a problem I have had ever since 8th grade to you, the Giant Bomb Community. You see I will be sitting in like 3rd period just minding my own business when I look down and see a ring of sweat around my armpits. Disgusting I know but, I don't feel too warm or anything and i'm not nervous at all  but why the hell am I sweating?  As you can guess I don't feel like myself for the rest of the day and remain quite because of it. I really need help any advice would be great.

Arr, I'd say antiperspirants. Not to be confused with deodorant. I'd also advise not wearing grey, it'll show the sweat a lot more - black is a nice colour for hiding things ;) Good luck my friend!

@LegacyofNexus: Wear colours that hide sweat (dark blue, black are very good), use antiperspirant if you don't already (different from deodorant), and try to keep your armpits open, both so your clothes don't touch and absorb sweat and to help regulate air flow and keep yourself dry. 
 
Other than that, not much else you can do. Maybe a doctor could help out, or perhaps your parents have something to help.

Go to the store and invest in one of those fancy "clinical strength" deodorants. You know, the ones that come in those fancy boxes.

Certain Dri roll-on antiperspirant. Put it on at night before you go to bed. Trust me, this shit is the bee's knees.

Also, I'm not sure about your whole sweat thing but I have a Coolermaster fan in my computer that works great, maybe get one of those and glue it to your armpit?

Wear Under Armour shirts all the time. Those things make sweat slide right off.

Are you just wearing T-shirts? If so, start wearing polos or other button-up shirts and have a t-shirt on underneath to be a layer to soak up most of the sweat.

1) do not wear antiperspirant, unless you like lymph node infections.

1a) DO wear deodorant

2) Do wear a couple of layers of shirts if you want to hide the sweat: a t-shirt and then a baggy button up shirt or a loose long sleeve t or a light hoodie or something.

2a) ALWAYS COTTON. Synthetic will start to stink like nothing else

3) Lose weight and improve your cardio function. Your body will get better at dissipating heat without sweating.

4) Don't sweat it. Some people sweat more than others.

Well, for one thing, the thread has to deserve the flag, and seeing as how this is the Off-Topic section, good luck with that. Second, you should probably read the rules you so worship a little more closely, and not propagate a thread you deem lock-worthy by posting in it.

Cheerio, kind chap.

Edit: Forgot to stay on topic. I recommend checking out those "Premature Perspiration" commercials. I see them all the time, but for the life of me cannot remember the product they're selling at the moment.

 Is it the feeling of the sweaty shirt or the thought that people can see the sweat that keeps you from feeling like yourself? If it's the latter then layer up with a thin shirt under a somewhat baggy/loose shirt. Make sure the under shirt is thin though because if you get too thick with your layers you'll just sweat more. If it's the feeling of it then that's harder to fix. Exercising regularly and being in shape can help sweating in general.
 
 Either way you should talk to a doctor to see what he/she recommends if it's something to do with you specifically that's causing you to sweat more. Coming to the brilliant medical minds at giant bomb probably isn't going to help much in that regard.

Get someone to lick the sweat when you feel it dripping from your pits, that way it won't stain your clothing...

one option would be to get healthy

although not knowing your current health i can't say if that's your problem

or alternatively you could cake yourself in old spice and be a man and not give a shit about what people think of you

If you're overweight/generally unhealthy then you should try to get in better shape, otherwise you should see a doctor as you might have some sort of condition that's causing you to sweat excessively.

Alright its pretty obvious he is a troll after this comment. Anyone who says white is a color to wear to avoid sweat stains is either a troll or an idiot.

Take some of your mother's hand towels and stuff them under your armpits. As a bonus, your shoulders will appear broader. More appeal to the ladies.

I have had the same "problem" for years now and I don't even care. Just use deodorant frequently that's it. Some people sweat more than others.

I've been using Mitchum for two months and it's working just fine. My armpits used to sweat like crazy. I no longer use scented deodorant because it stinks whenever I swear even a little bit.

If all else fails just wear an undershirt, you'll be hotter and may sweat more but you wont have patches.

  Certain Dri works the best, it comes in a white and green box and is found in most drug stores.  I  was in your situation and used it all through college.

It seems like everyone is missing the obvious answer... amputation. No arms, no arm pits. Seems pretty simple to me. 
 
 
In all seriousness though, I don't know what the name of it/them is, but there is/are medical conditions that can cause excessive sweating. If you really don't feel anxious or overheated when it happens then it may well be something you should ask a doctor about. Lord knows getting through HS is hard enough without having to deal with something like that...
