NED READERS discussion

You may notice that I have a beard in the video on this page but no beard in my photo.

I used to like to switch it up.

I told people I had respect for artists who look different all the time (Miles Davis).

But this past year I shaved my beard to be Carl Sagan at a Halloween party and afterwards, when it was time to shave, I looked up my pictures on Google Image.

The pictures at the top were all of me without a beard.

So the internet has determined that I shouldn't have a beard.

I am a slave to the opinions of others and no longer have a beard

I'm going to grow a big, scruffy beard when I'm older. Unlike my two brothers, I have dark, black hair, so when I start growing hair on my face it really shows.

But for now I'm stuck with the little hair I have on my chin and cheeks, and of course, my infamous "Mexican mustache."

My Italian parents convince me to shave it all off, but they know when I go to college and come back I'll look like some gorilla who's broken out of a cage back at the zoo.

If it helps, I actually liked your beard.

I hate my beard... well no hate hate, just i hate that grows up so fast, and just a few parts... I'm just 18 so I guess it's just the beginning... but i hope someday let my beard grows uniformly.

.....I don't have a beard but if I did I wouldn't shave it. FIGHT THE POWER!

Thanks everybody, it is great if you can grow a beard, but if you can't, don't worry, it will happen eventually, or not, i don't know

I really, really hope so...
