Why can't i grow facial hair? I'm 18??

I'm 18, 5'11, and 126 pounds. Literally guys that i know who are even shorter than me have beards by now. Literally any other guy i know has a full face of facial hair and im still naked on the face. It kinda makes me feel bad. I have my mothers facial features, which makes me look extremely feminine, and I hate it. I know friends that shave, and their beards grow back in a week. All i have is peach fuzz above my upper lip and a few coils of hair on my chin. Barely even visible. You'd have to shine a flashlight on my face to see them. I'm just tired of being so underdeveloped than most guys. I really am. Is there some sort of medical reason for this? Like i know a thing of being a late bloomer, but it seems as if i'll NEVER bloom. I'm 18, I don't even feel like im near the ending stages of puberty. I never had a huge growth spurt, never developed bigger muscles, OR facial hair. My voice got deeper, but it's still average compared to how I feel it should be. This is really annoying. Anyone care to explain why my body is being this way?

    What kind of beard does your dad and granddads have? Facial hair is genetic, and not unusual for guys to not grow much if any, if their parent or grandfather don't grow much if any. I had a full beard at 13 and was shaving daily by then- my best friend did not shave until he was 18. Years later he still has very little facial hair- but just heredity.

    you have the genes to remain evergreen

    at 50 you will look like a 30 year old

    that's a blessing in my opinion
