hi, well im a fourteen year old guy, and well im kind of hairier than everyone else my age. well, i started to trim, using a trimmer, because my uncle told me that if i started to shave, then the hair would grow back faster, and that i should shave later on in life. when he showed me how to trim, he told me about an imaginary line, which you shouldnt trim beyond, becuase the hairs fall off naturally. he said it runs from the inner side of the side burn running through to under the lower lip. well the hair beyond that is getting long, and its even joining up to my eyebrows, so it looks like my face is covered in hair, except for the eyelids. also, there is hair above my eyebrows and on my forehead! so what is wrong with me? is that normal? please answer, ill rate 5's!

That is physically impossible and is often circulated because it is an old wives tale that refuses to die. I am a scientist, trust me. It just sounds like trimming isn't doing the trick. Try shaving, and maybe get your eyebrow and eyebrow area waxed (only about ten bucks at any salon or haircut place). You sounds a bit overgrown, but normal.
