Shaving doesn't actually make your hair grow faster.
When hair grows, it starts out really fine. You can hardly see it. The base is thicker than the end. When you shave, you're basically cutting off the fine end and making a new, thicker end. This causes it to be more visible when it first emerges from your skin.
If you want to grow a full, thick mustache, keep shaving for a couple of years and THEN let it grow. You'll get better results.

I've never had problems growing hair myself. But i wouldn't be trying to try and make it grow too fast coz there are still the girls out there that like the young guy thing, the boyish looks. My last girlfriend always wanted me to be shaved smooth.
But shaving it will definitely make the hair thicker. It may on some people make the hair grow faster but not always. Try it if you're desperate though but only shave when there is hair there coz otherwise you're just irritating the skin (by removing too many layers).
My current girlfriend loves the facial hair! Haha good luck!

Nothing will make your moustache grow in thicker or quicker. Repeated shaving is just a myth. If it worked for your friend, that's only because he was going to grow that hair anyways. Also, the gross pre-teen 'tache thing is so 1980's. I can't imagine any kind of girl who would like that look.
...by the way, you've got a little dirt on your lip. Just there.

I first started shaving my upper lip at the age of 15 like you. My father told me once I start that it will grow in faster. He didn't say fuller. Well it did grow in faster, but it wasn't until I was 18 that it grew fuller. Good luck

Why would you want a mustache? I hate them... but whatever...
I think shaving does make the hair grow back stronger, but I don't know about quicker.

Shaving it won't sell extra speedy boost than is already happening. it is going to offer the phantasm that it is getting thicker with each and every shave by way of fact each and every hair, alongside with the recent one or 2 this is in simple terms commencing at present, daily, or each and every week, would be in simple terms a similar length by way of shaving.........you shave and each thing is a similar length, 0. Hair grows to a minimum of one / 4 inch and any new ones are in simple terms at somewhat previous 0 length........you shave lower back and the recent ones at the instant are a similar length as each and every of the as quickly as longer hairs you in simple terms shaved and, now all of them advance out mutually. each and every time you repeat the shaving action, you initiate at 0 length, the dimensions that each and every of the recent hairs are.

Good luck with your mustache. I think it will help to make you look older. I believe shaving it will help it to grow thicker, not sure as it depends on your hair density & porosity as to whether it will do it quickly or not...........

cutting or shaving hair doesn't make it grow fast, it's been scientifically proven
