Shaving for a 15 year old boy?!


Question: My son has a full mustache, and now starting to get heavy facial hair below his side burns. The stach is okay, but would you make him shave the rest of his face? It looks terrible! He does not want to. Whats your opinion?

Well its apperant you'd want him to shave it. Personally I think men look reddiculous with a mustache and no beard to go with it. Seems counter intuitive to me.

I think the best thing is to consider how his facial hair affects his self image and let him do what he wants. Its not like he's getting tattoos or tongue peircings. It is probably a boost to his confidence and his masculinity. And in a couple years, other guys will start growing facial hair too anyways.

Shave it. Make him do it.

make him shave..

I'm 23 and just started shaving! I can sympathize with him because it really sucks

Shave his entire head.

Kidding.

Let him do what he wants. It's his face. If he wants to look like a ragamuffin then let him.

his school will eventually make him i think

teach him good hygiene

Just tell him it grows back thicker after shaving.

i think you should let him grow a beard, this way girls wont distract him until he has a steady job

Make him shave.

tell him that he needs to shave.

thats what i would do.

Shaving is a good part of hygiene, enforce it!

I would say to shave it, but he might be uncomfortable in school like that, i think you should let him decide when he wants to shave.

He should shave its hygiene!

make him shave!

shave it, you don't want him to look terrible especially at that age

Wish I got that when I was that young...Im almost 19 and I still havent got any noticable Facial hair.....unless its comin in blonde but yeah its normal my brother is that way......it just means he'll age quickly

From personnel experience, I would make him shave it... At that age, I thought facial har was really cool, even though mine couldn't grow in full and looked terrible. He'll thank you later!

I'd say pick your battles, he's 15. Soon enough he'll realize that girls think his scraggle doesn't look all that good and it will come off. No need to alienate him over something so simple...

He will only fight you back if you try to control his facial hair... act like its not that horrendous and he will prob 'grow' out of this phase.

I would. People that young look terrible with facial hair like that. Just drop some hints... like put shaving cream and a razor on the counter... or be like i won't let you go out unles you shave or something because u don't want people to see you! Or something.

hahaha. Good luck with that =]

if it looks horrible there is a reason to shave it

Pin him down and force shave. Make sure you close all doors and windows, you don't want any neighbors or cops to hear the yells.

Shave.
Women don't like Hairyness...Yuckie...

I bet it looks terrible! I had the same issue at about his age, perhaps even younger.

Looking back at photos I now realize how ridiculous I looked. I thought I looked like a MAN but in reality I looked like Shaggy (from scooby doo), but even worse.

I would voice my opinion and let him come to his own conclusions. He is not in the military so forcing him to shave as often as would be needed (to not look totally silly) is far too difficult.

Good luck and I hope he looks in a mirror and wakes up sometime very soon.

at my old high school guys could only have mustaches, any other facial hair was to be shaved at all times, so make sure its ok with his school, if ok let him keep it, he prob just thinks it makes him look cool

Since it's his face, i think you should let him decide rather than using force.

Maybe give him a little time.
After he knows that the stach is horrifying, he'll shave it off.
But if he doesn't want to, leave it as is.

:]

do it his sleep then deny it

Shave it into something that would look good, he doesnt have to shave it bald. If he just grows it out, he looks like a bum with pube hairs growing out of his chin. He doesnt need soft cheecks, just shave it into a stubble or something.

JUST TELL HIM HE COULD CATCH FACIAL LICE...MAYBE U COULD SCARE HIM INTO SHAVING...LOL

I used to be like him, I had an ugly thin layere of hair over my lip. I wanted to shave but I felt nervous about it. Try just making a razor easily available for him to use.
