Firstly, your front coverage is coming on really strong and that's what others see when they look at yousmiley: smokin.  Your stache is pushing out and bulking very nicelysmiley: smokin and I can't tell if the hairs are going horizontal at this point.  [Hint: give us a closeup shot of the front straight on.]  Let everything in the front grow as strong as it can... even to the point of training the stache horizontal.  This will put less emphasis on the sides for now and you can get away with lesser development there at this point.

If you were 30 y/o, I would recommend styling to your strengths but you are only 19 and therefore I recommend sticking with your fullbeard attempt at least until the end of 4 months.  You may not like what you have, but it's obvious your sides are coming in strong and each month you will see more light hairs giving way to dark hairs.  Eventually you will have great sides and a beautiful fullbeard.  If you can accomplish this, you will have truly lived up to your usernamesmiley: smile.

One last item of note... you are becoming a strong encourager to other teens and this is an indication that you are getting more accustomed to the bearded life and that you are meant to be bearded yourself.  Thank you for being such a help to others. Hint: leave enough of that encouragement for yourself.smiley: happy
