Facial Hair

THat's one of those "it only depends on you" things. I was shaving in 7th grade, some started earlier, one of my best friends still can't really grow much facial hair and i'm over halfway through college now. Don't worry about it, you're fine, and you aren't the only one.

Yeah, I'm 14 and I shave every week or so. Sometimes twice a week, but I really want to grow some chest hairs, and soon!
-
You think the 'bumps' heh, on my chest are hair folicles(sp?)? And also..*Is embarassed* I have uhhm.. what LOOK like goosebump type things on my nipples..normal?

Most guys start getting a bit of a moustache around 14 or 15. By 16 occasional shaving may be needed to keep it under control, and most guys are shaving daily at around 18. However, there's a lot of variation. First, you can be early or late - puberty at 11 is just a little earlier than average -; and second, some people have much hairier genes than others. There are some guys who end up looking like gorillas, and others who in their 20s only need to shave every third day. You can get an idea of what you can expect genetically from looking at your male relatives.Chest hair varies a lot, depending on your genes. It usually comes in slowly, over later teens to early twenties, but if you have hairy genes it can be earlier.It's not usual to get a rash from chest hair coming in - could it be a real rash, perhaps from heat?

Goosebump things on nipples are normal.It's hard to say about the bumps on your chest, whether they are hair follicles or not.
-
Goosebumps on nipples.....I'm assuming that A.) They are around the center.B.) The only appear when nipples are hard.If so, it's absolutely natural.

..Thanks that helped alot but im pretty sure there hair folicles (sp?) cause i know my dad is very uhm hairy if you will.. the goosebump type things on my nipples are more visible when hard but are still there when not..im assuming its normal, does any1 else have/have had this before?
-
why would you want facial hair? trust me it isnt fun. I had a full beard at 16, and by 18 had to shave everyday so I wouldnt break school policy. Most everyone doesnt really get a full set of facial hair until they're outta high school.16 is about the average when young guys generally start shaving. some before some after...

Yes, I had those goosebump things around my nipples when I was in my mid-teens. By my late teens those bumps started growing hair, just like pubic hair but not quite as curly. So yeah, they will eventually grow nipple hair. I have tons of nipple hair now. It is chest hair, but not in the spot that I would want chest hair to grow! But what can you do ya know?
So you've got some nipple hair to look forward to. It may take a year or two, so be patient.

Oh well atleast nothings wrong there.. Thanks
-
okay yeah i go to a private school and u can't have facial hair. it is the stupiedest rule ever. one time a girl got a detention for facial hair! HA HA. okay this is off the topic but in 8 mile they play juicy by notorious B.I.G. and i'm pretty sure this movie was set like befroe that song came out

I'm 15 and i shave about every other day just cause i prefer the feel of it...usually by the middle of the second day its startin to be a little noticable...as for chest..get used to them lol. I've probably had them atleast a year..but as the hair grows in they disappear. Right now i'm down to very few...also...it could be body acne...some people do get that. They wouldn't have to be large nor white(thats "zits") to be acne...just some thought to grow on..of course no pun intended lol. BTW, some girls dig a lil facial hair..i kno that when makin out, sometimes if my girlfriend puts her hand on my chin she likes the feeling of it being there (don't ask me..) cause durin the summer i didn't shave much (lazy) and once i shaved it seemed like she was almost disappointed that there wasn't any on my chin...shrugs
-
i'm 16 and still no facial hair or chest hair. lol after hearing some grumble about shaving every morning aand stuff. lol i'm not in no hurry to grow it. lol
-
And thats the smartest comment I've heard in a long time. Definately dont be in a rush to get it!
-
Hey don't worry. When I was like 18 I got a patch of hair in the middle of my chest. It wasn't very much for like two years. Now I am 21 and I am almost totally covered on my chest and stomach. Everyone grows it different. My little brother is 17 and he has almost as much as me. He shaves every day. I was shaving every day at 17 too.
-
I have to say shaving is a bitch! It wastes at lease 15 minutes of each morning, and it irratates your skin.
-
Im 16 and got noticible hair on my lip. On my chin I get a little that I shave (not often). I notice the hair on my chin but noone else probubly does.
