I'm a 19 year old male and i'm curious as to if shaving/trimming is something that i need to do or no?

Personal choice: Shaving or trimming is a personal choice. There is no medical benefit or disadvantage with shaving or trimming. you mainly have to ensure that when you do shave or trim that you use a clean shaving or trimming instrument and clean the area you are going to shave or trim before, to prevent infection, especially around hair follicles which is a common area for infection. Otherwise, it is up to you!
