Shalom You should not care what people tell you, you need to care what G-d thinks of you. Needless to say that it is a great source of blessing by having a beard and I would defiantly encourage you to keep growing it and wear it proud that you are a G-d fearing Jew. It is a great Mitzvah, who cares what people say or think Wishing you great success Rabbi Alon Anava
