Facial hair on a 14 year old guy? Please read for the details?

Ok, So first off, Some of my physical details:

I'm 14, but I turn 15 in December, and I can pass for older. I am generally assumed to be 15-16 on first glance, depending on what clothes I am wearing (generally at formal places, like family gatherings or my dad's work events, and I'm wearing slightly more formal clothes, I am constantly mistaken for somebody older).

I have brown/black hair, and blue eyes, and I'm a white male, although my skin is a little tanned (I live in Australia though, so this isn't that out of the ordinary). I'm about 181 cms tall (that's almost dead on 6 foot for any body who follows the imperial system).

I also grow facial hair pretty fast, for somebody of my age (from comparing to my class and year level, I have a friend who mentions this too, so I know it's not just me).

I also have normally kept myself clean shaven, because I couldn't grow more than a few hairs, but in the last few months, I've been able to grow quite a bit between shaves.

OK, now for the actual questions:

Would I look weird with facial hair?

Would a 14 or 15 year old look weird with facial hair?

If you think I wouldn't look too odd with facial hair, what are some good styles?

Any particular style of facial hair you recommend?

And for any guys out there:

Any tips?

Update:

Sorry for any typos, I think I corrected them all, but it's the first day of school holidays, so my grammar has pretty much died overnight...

Update 2:

I live in Melbourne, Australia, not outer Mongolia, we're pretty similar to the states...

And I shave about 3 times a week, and that's because I have to, but I really should be shaving more often (it's starting to grow quite fast).

I'm guessing I'll be at the point where I need to shave every day in a few months, judging by how fast it's been growing (I started shaving one, one and a half years ago because I needed to).

    I don't exactly know about Australia, but here in the states, no one wants to see a fourteen, fifteen, sixteen or seventeen year old guy with facial hair. Facial hair on a high school guy makes a negative first impression on most people. The expectation is that guys that age are clean cut. Until a guy is shaving at least once a day because he has to, his facial hair is not at a state where it will look good grown out.

    If I were you I'd keep it either clean shaven or just a little faint stache
