Yes: Young males go through stages of puberty at varying rates. The development of facial hair is a secondary sex characteristic and is influenced hormonally. if you're concerned or feel delayed, you can always have a medical checkup.

Yes: Development of facial hair, like other secondary sexual characters varies in the age of appearance. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.
