Should I shave my face?

[TheFutureDoctor]

Hey guys. I am 15 and have moderate, noticable facial hair. Yep I have shaved my beard 2-3 times (mostly for the fun of shaving). My moustache is more noticeable. Now I am in a sort of a dilemna.

3 days to go before I fly to Patna(a city in my country). My mom's getting a famous award(she's a doctor she published some research recently) so lots of photos will be taken(by us!). Should I shave my face before going? I mean yes it will be quite noticeable to someone who knows me thatI shaved but for someone who sees me the first time they may think I have not hit puberty yet! This is my dilemna.
What would you suggest? Shave or not?
Thanks.
PS I have never shaved my moustache before this.

If you have no problems with shaving then I'd say go for it!

Yes shave it, if you cant grow a full moustache or it doesn't suit you don't grow one there is nothing worse than teens with half beards because its all they can grow lots of people in my school do this as they think is manly and it really just looks gross and unhygenic in my honest opinion.

Do whatever you like the most!

Lol. Like I said, i've never shaved my moustache yet so I dunno how'll look without it.
But yeah I understand you. I've never grown more than a thin moustache. I do think it doesn't look so good not having complete facial hair. Like, I have a noticeable moustache, noticeable hair below my sideburns(beside my ear) but VERY FINE hair on my cheeks. So usually I shave my cheeks and the "below the sideburn hair" but leave the moustache as it is.
Regarding your classmates, mine do the same. they walk around with some hair on their lips and think they are men.

I believe modern men are cleanshaven. Personal preference

Thanks but do you shave too?(Just a curious question)

[Pavyyy]

I think you should do it, you can't really pull it off when you're a teen!

Yes I shave for work or when I go on a date. I started shaving my last year of high school mostly because I do not have a lot of facial hair

I think a moustache looks bad on (most) kids. Beards are ok on kids who can grow good ones. Just my opinion. Even worst than a moustache is the first moustache (the one that's NEVER been shaved). But do what you want. It's only a picture. You could ask your mom I suppose.

[Kuroshiro]

I think a moustache looks bad on (most) kids. Agree

Personally I would shave if off but you can do whatever you want since it is your body.

[everlong]

If I were in your situation, I'd shave. But that's just me. Look however you want to look, that's the beauty of it.

[Crona]

if youre facial hair isnt just peach fuzz like it is for most of the people i know who are my age and decide they dont want to shave, then i say just keep it. i would shave, but i shave all the time because i think it looks better, but thats just what i like.

[SethfromMI]

I would go ahead and shave. it is going to look a lot nicer

[TheFutureDoctor]

Ok thanks guys. Decision made! I am gonna shave it. Thing is I haven't shaved my moustache ever! So I dunno how I'm gonna look. what if I look bad?

[nklarke]

Ask your mom how she prefers you to appear in the photos.

[Guycurious]

You will be just fine both ways go with your heart.

Thing is my heart is confused. Had a haircut today trying to decide if my moustache looks good with the cut or not :(

It's a bit more than that I'd say :P :D

[Anomaly]

I would because you're gonna have to start eventually!

I guess your just gonna have to find out. I had to shave all of my facial hair off recently for a job and I had no idea what I would look like b/c I've had a moustache since 14 and I'm 17 now and I had just grown in my beard [emoji20] (sad day)

Why have to? :)

[kblake]

do whatever you feel most comfortable with its your body

[Canadian Dream]

Personally I think it's be better to, it looks cleaner and I think it feels a bit nicer too.

[NotQuiteANerd97]

It's all a matter of your preference and style.
