Welcome to the board! Well, you definitely don't look untidy or ugly - looks like you have a good beard growing on you if you just let it grow. Your parents are not used to you growing and they will adjust to you later. I would grow it. If you post here weekly, you will get good support - you should as you have good growth, man!
