Welcome to the board... you really have a much stronger and better looking beard coming on that you give credit for.smiley: smile  The reason is that you are expecting a completed fullbeard at this age and it's not going to happen... but what will happen is a strong beard look, headed up by good densities along the jawline [which show well because of your neckline location].  Your sides will continue to improve over the months ahead and eventually show heavy and have a great shape.

For now, enjoy your youth but learn to accept your beardedness, picking up a much more mature and manly look along the way as you prepare to leave the teen years.  Your second picture already shows a quite mature look and that should be good enough for you at this age. Start telling yourself outloud that you are getting nicely bearded and you are beginning to like what you see. That will help your mental acceptance.

Keep it all growing [but continue to carve the neckline] and show updates every couple weeks. Say how you feel about progress on each update and let us know when you come to accept your beardedness.
