Bearded since: 2006. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I don't like shaving every day before school and I wanted to see how a beard would look on me. I grew a nice, full beard through June up until about mid-December when I very mistakenly shaved it for the holiday season. Never have I regretted something this much. Thankfully, I'm in the process of getting it back.

How do I feel about my beard? I love it. Kids at the high school I don't even know call me Lumberjack or Wookie and all other types of names. It doesn't bother me, It's somewhat entertaining. Alot of other kids I see have just a soul patch or mutton chops going. I've had a lot of jealousy from a few kids toward my beard as well!
