I have senstive skin so I can't use hair removal creams. I'm so worried that if I don't get rid if my pubes bits will be severely turned off by me as they think every girl shaves nowadays. Please help x

Um ok i have a solution!
Every guy does think that us girls have to shave down there, because it is more attractive more appealling etc
And honestly i find that no pubes are actually nicer, although obviously once you start the faster the hair grows.
You know you could always try waxing, sure that would hurt like shit lol butttttttt it last twice as long as shaving.
But my solutioon, first you get rid of all the longer hairs, by using sharp scissors, if you shave straight away you can blunt the blade and then it rendered uselss pretty much.
Once that is gone, make sure to use a generous amount of shaving cream to the area, preferably not scented and yes i have sensitive skin too so i go for the sensitive one, and its male shaving cream, but i'm pretty sure you understood that already.
After you have shaved.
The next day or well sooner depends, the hairs will be really sharp, so after you shave Use baby oil moisturizer, thats what i use, and by doing that you prevent the hairs from being sharp, it isn't itchy (which is areal releif) and you don't get those little red dots.
So yeah, it is possible, but just for a future reference when you have sex, the baby oil will kill the condom, so um yes, don't use the oil the day you will be having sex because the condom will be useless and i don't think you want to face getting pregnant.
Remember birth control (lol sorry but for reference)
But yes there is a solution!

 You don't have to shave. Just trim. Get a trimmer that's designed for that region. They trim very close so it feels like you shaved a day or two ago. I do that for the majority of it and trim up the rest just a bit longer and my man has no complaints.
Otherwise, I use Bikini zone when I do actually shave for those special occasions. You put it on a few hours after the shave and it helps with the bumps, ingrown hairs, and rash. Just DO NOT put it on right after, it will sting horribly bad.
If it still bothers you when you get older, try laser removal. I heard that has worked for many women. But I think it's kind of pricey.

I stopped trying to get rid of it. Sure, people think that every girl shaves now a days but when you think about it, does it matter what others think?
It's your body and you're the one who has to live with it so why not do what you're most comfortable with? If other people don't like it then tough. Good luck!
