C'est cool. Don't worry about it. There could be a number of things that is effecting your ability to grow facial hair. Genetics could be one. I think, personally, that you may have imbalanced hormones. If someone has less testosterone, they are less prone to acne, and, obviously, facial hair. This does NOT mean that you are less masculine than everyone else. It just means you are different.
Women prefer clean shaven men, anyway. It just means you have to work less at being attractive than everyone else. You don't have to wake up earlier and shave. Lucky you!

Im in the exact same boat...

Maybe not, but you sure are lucky. Acne sucks, and most girls don't seem to like facial hair anyway.

Should be glad, shaving is a pain in the ***

i had terrible acne and got rid of it, but still no facial hair either

Some genotypes simply don't grow much if any facial hair -- American Indians generally don't, for example. Do men in your family have facial hair?

As for acne... dang, you lucky. Some people get the luck of the genetic draw.

Back in the day when I was your age .... OHHHH those many years .... I went thru the same thing . I was about 20 -21 before I actually began to shave.

Then; I had a blood test and found that I had a low thyroid disorder and low testerone levels ..... So; I have to take medication every day for the thyroid ......

You might want to have some blood work up done to test your thyroid and testerone levels ...

My fiance is 35 and cannot grow facial hair. Most women find facial hair to be unappealing anyway so hey, it is normal and a plus for you! :)

It's all genetice that's why some men have back hair and some dont. does your dad have facial hair? does your mom shave her legs if either doesnt than your normal.

Yes, you shpuld be glad. I think men with facial hair are poor looking. Facial hair is just gross to me.

You are fine. Count your blessings. Me and most of my buds hate shaving now...

And no acne...How lucky is that...?

Don't worry friend. You don't want facial hair because it's a pain to shave. 18 is young. Alot of men dont get a full beard until their mid to late 20's. Some men never get a full beard but rather a moustache & chin growth.

Because you're low on hormones. But that's allright. There's nothing to be worried about.
