The only thing that I suggest is waxing. If you are too self conscious to go to a salon, or do not want to spend money, you can get your own at home waxing kit from your local Walmart, CVS, etc.
Don't shave any part of your face. I have experience with it and it's a drag waiting for your hair to grow back. Unfortunately, I was 'blessed' with the gene that causes me to grow hair out very quickly. I have to shave every day otherwise I end up with stubble. It's unsightly, but it's just what I have to deal with. You're not alone.

Lots of women have hair on their face, so there is nothing unusual about you. The best way to get rid of it is waxing. You don't have to go to a solon or anything, and for about ten bucks you can get about 2-5 months of use, depending on how often you have to do it.

It's probably heriditary. Are your parents or other family members hairy? Sometimes you can't help it. Other times, it could be a hormonal imbalance. If no one in your family has a similar problem, I suggest seeing a doctor.
In the mean time...
You can use products like nair or veet. You rub it on, let it sit, and wash it off and it removes the hair. No stubble since it takes it from the root.
Waxing will give you smoother results and it isn't uncommon for women to wax their faces, especially the upper lip area. At every salon I've been to they have facial waxing.
If this is a problem you have to live with, you can consider laser hair removal. It's expensive but is permanent.
Best of luck,
