I am fourteen years old and have a mustache and a monobrow when I don't take care of it, and noticeable hair on my torso. My arms are also quite hairy and my legs are when not shaved, and I have mild scoliosis and a deeper-than-usual voice. Plus some serious acne.
My mom has high testosterone levels, and my grandmother had to have her hair removed until she started taking thyroid medication. My great-great-grandmother ALSO had these problems.
Since I know this only gets worse with age, I'm considering consulting my parents about such matters and finding some sort of solution.
I'm not ugly, and while I'm not curvy or pretty much bald I'm not exactly masculine in appearance, either. In fact, I do look like a girl, and it's really just the hair that ruins the image if I don't take care of it.
So since I have only mild symptoms, this may be a good solution.
But I think I may also want to ask my doctor and my parents about it, because they know more about my specific situation than the internet does.
But I'm just sick of being harrier than all the boys my age! I hope I can take care of my problem!
