Is it normal to hate the hair on my face?

ok, so this is the 1st time I have ever verbalized,(if this counts)what I am about to say, I shave my whole face and yes I am a girl, it sucks but the first time I realized it was when my 5th grade teacher had us each go to the front of the room and point out something about us that was different, I think it was suppose to help us see and celebrate the differences in people but I missed the point, years later at the ripe age of 14, people had more then once mentioned my sideburns, I finally thought I could do something about and began shaving, unfortunately I had no parents or role models to inform me this is a bad idea and I have continued since, I have noticed it really bugs people I don't wear my hair up, and while I am sure people notice, it is my face after all they don't say anything, not that I want them to, but I have taken to paying attention to girls faces, alot of girls,women do this, why the hell is soooooo bad to be hairy girl, why does our society make us think we're ugly spindlers,I see jokes, skits,etc. about the "hairy woman" I have continued with my life, I have a family and boyfriend that I NEVER let touch my face, is it really that bad? I mean there are people out there that have done horrible terrible things and are forgiven and loved, why do I feel like this is so horribly freakish

    yes waxing is the better option but if you hate it that much then you should get it permanentally removed but that could be costly.

    Try waxing or epilating instead of shaving. If your hair is fair I wouldn't actually worry about it too much, I know quite a few blonde girls who get fair hair on their faces and it doesnt seem to bother anyone.

    I'm sure your boyfriend has noticed even if you wont let him touch your face, so it clearly doesnt bother him or he wouldnt be with you

    It's silly. I think girls should be able to be hairy. There is nothing wrong with hair.

    It's sadly normal. If you really hate it, though, try using a depilitory like Sally Hansen(better) or Nair. It reddens the area for a day but lasts much longer with no stubble.

    There is a product called Vaniqa. I haven't used it personally, but it is a cream used regularly that reduces facial hair. It is prescription only. I am sure it has a website. Maybe you can look into it.

    You sound like a nice, thoughtful person. The people who care too much about hair on your face don't matter. Concentrate on the people who love you. Some of the most beautiful (hair-free) people on earth truly don't have that, and you sound like you do. In other words, everyone has some challenge they are facing. Don't let it hurt your self-esteem.

    I hate it too, but as of yet I haven't done anything about it. I've heard in some cases birth control pills can help.

      Birth control can help many things. But it causes many other issues. I suggest to not take it. My girlfriend used to take it for her acne problems, but on the downside, her hormones were screwed up. She gained weight, her emotions were always in a depressed/angry mood, etc.
