Firstly, your front coverage is coming on really strong and that's what others see when they look at you. Your stache is pushing out and bulking very nicely 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 username.
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.

As expected, you have excellent coverage in the front and you should show that off on every update. Your stache is very tall and the bulking on either side of the philtrum [center] could be pushed outward to avoid those trims you mention. Try to find Got2b spiking glue to train your stache... it's readily available in drug store hair products sections.
I'm glad you have found a few other guys in your situation of younger coverage still in development. Encourage one another to stick with the coverage you have because it's only going to get better and all you guys have enough beard to get started and stay bearded.
Keep the updates coming and the posting on other threads going.
