My BP won't shed

[Daigga]

I thought it was okay as long as it all comes off, as some bps like to rub on things sometimes causing the shed to break.

If it all comes off on its own then yes, that's fine. If the snake has to be helped through the process then no, it's not okay.

I have two BP a normal and a fire. My normal is a few months older and I've never had a problem with her shedding. My fire is going through her 3rd she'd since I've had her and still isn't doing much. I have to help her through the entire process. I keep humidity up but she won't try to get the skin off her. She just hangs out with it. So I end up having to bath her and slowly take it off myself which I know ends up being really stressful for her. Any advice on how to get her to shed?

Never do this. If the shed does not come off on its own, the best you can do is soak your python, give it a towel to slither through, and keep humidity up for the next shed when the leftover bits will hopefully come off. If you're actually peeling the shed off, you're risking some serious damage, since there's usually a reason the shed isn't coming off on it's own. What process exactly are you following when your fire fails to shed? What are your actual humidity levels? Do you raise them whenever your fire shows signs of a shed? What kind of enclosure do you have your snakes in and what substrate are you using? Pictures of the enclosure would help identify the problem here.
