Nowadays, having quite a long beard it's trendy between boys.
Recent studies have found that having facial hair might cause infections due to the fact that beards contain thousands of germs, even after washing it. The explanation that some scientists have is that the facial hair is more thick and it's usually tangled so it's easier for the dirt to get trapped. They noticed that most of the prople who had face infections was because of the facial hair. They even have classified beards as "bacterial sponges".
Despite all of that, there are some experts who have a different opinion: beards aren't less hygienic than a shaven face, because the bacteria is on the skin.

In my opinion, I don't think that having a beard can be dangerous. We can get infections for a lot of causes, having a beard might increase the probabilities of having one, as well as the trend teenagers who smoke it will increase the probability of having cancer or the trend of being thin increases the probability of having anorexia. What is concerning me the most is that we (teenagers) tend to follow trends without asking ourselves if this is really what we're into. We should have to create our personality inspired by the trends, but not being obsessed with them. If someone's comfortable having a beard as long as he takes care of him, I don't see where's the problem!
