Male beard growth is determined mainly by genetics, i.e by hereditary and ethnic factors, but also by nutritional factors. Male hormones are ultimately responsible and there is not much that can generally be done about it, either to speed up or slow down this normal maturing process.

Some young men start to develop facial hair earlier or later than others. If others of the same age and similar parentage have developed facial hair, and beards in particular, and you are male and haven't yet done so, you can either wait a bit longer, or check with your doctor to see if there is any reason for concern.

On rare ocassions a doctor will prescribe certain medications that can correct any hormonal imbalance that may be evident. However, at age 14, many/most male youths will not have beards at all. Some men never have enough facial hair to grow a beard, whilst others can't start doing so until they are in their twenties.
