Question

Answer 1

i had a beard when i was 18, but now i wish i did,nt. it,s a drag to shave.

Answer 2

Genetics my friend.  Some people can potentially NEVER gain the ability to grow a beard.  It is possible however unlikely that you may be among the ranks of those unable to grow facial hair.  My advice to you is give it time.

Answer 3

I was in my early 20s when I was finally able to grow a beard.

Answer 4

Be grateful.  Shaving is a nuissance and razor blades are very expensive.

Answer 5

the oldest i have heard of was rare and it was 38  and i got mines last year at 15 but its ok dude, you don't want one, it sucks having to keep shaving, but either way it isnt that serious

Answer 6

It might have something to do with your ancestry, so don't take any drastic steps!  If you are of Native American or Asian decent, you may never have much facial hair.  I once had a boyfriend who was part American Indian and he could grow a perfect goatee and mustache without any creative shaving - he just never got any hair on his cheeks or neck.  

My son is 22 and just started being able to grow thick facial hair.  Before that it was straggly and thin and didn't look very "manly".  His father was the same way - couldn't grow a real beard until he was in his mid-twenties.

Answer 7

wow, taking it a bit seriously, eh?

that's a lame reason to go and kill yourself.  really, some people just can't grow beards.

can't grow a beard -- so what?  at least you don't have to worry about shaving every day.  though shaving has become part of my normal routine, i would save time in the mornings if i didn't have to shave.  so don't look at with such a negative viewpoint, it really doesn't matter

Answer 8

wilbur whatley from dunwich, massachusetts.  i believe he was seven.
