Shawny

Bearded since: September 2011.

Comments:
I was sixteen when I had a full beard, but I wasn't allowed that time because of the fact I was in school. Since I left school I remained clean shaven recently throughout my younger days (ages thirteen to twenty) I was a target for bullies 'cause I was a kid with no confidence at that time and I was a nobody 'til I realized it was all about to change. Also I don't need to fit in/blend in with pretty boys.

By the time I turned twenty-one, I started growing a full beard and everything changed.

How do I feel about my beard? Confident. I feel much better than before. And it's comfortable, better than being clean shaven.
