You are following advice to a tee.  I'll be honest... you don't have the coverage yet to let the sides stay.  Even if you dyed the hairs, they are not heavy enough to cover well. 
Don't worry, I agree completely! And in some sense I truly am grateful for the coverage I do have right now. Many teens have mustache trouble, but that much has been easy on me. As for people being used to me bearded, I've had the front sections of facial hair for almost 8 months now. I can't believe it's been that long. But I also can't imagine myself without it. 

Also, question while I'm here: over the past couple months, I've found that sections of my mustache would start to look really dark compared to others. Eventually I would stop noticing a difference and it would look more uniform. Is that just different sections of hairs further maturing?
