honey this post really made me feel sad. i'm so sorry you feel so distressed. i understand. the whole facial hair issue has drained my self esteem so much. BUT, there ARE things you can do for it. get your hormones under control. take birth control pills, and also ask your doctor about an antiandrogen which stops the facial hair growth from getting worse. then, talk to your parents about getting electrolysis or laser hair removal. explain how hard this is for you. maybe they will help you afford permanent hair removal. don't worry, there are solutions and ways to deal with this. you aren't alone.
