My son is trying to grow a gandalf beard. Do I need to tell you that he's 14?! He has dark, thick facial hair, but I doubt he'll succeed at that gandalf look any time soon. His beard gets bushier and bushier - put a pair of overalls on him and he'd be a perfect Mennonite farmer - my father's family is Mennonite so he comes by it honestly, tho it's not a hot look here in the expensive suburbs.
Do I ignore it and wait until he gets a serious girlfriend who'll set him straight (his current girlfried likes his look)?
Are there statistics somewhere telling what kind of people can grow that kind of beard? Google was no help.
Do I take away his computer & video games unless he's cleanshaven? I personally think that facial hair plus acne is a ridiculous look, but what do I know?
Am I making a big deal out of nothing?
Please, teenage and former teenage beard growers, tell me how you feel.

? I have a lot of things I tell him and I mean it. The whole reason I'm asking this question here is that I personally don't care whether he has a beard or not, and I want to see if I need to expend my leet parenting skills on this matter, or if I can let it slide - looking for other people's opinions.
