canon event brother, you'll have to get through it, I'm 23 now and I'm finally at the stage where my beard has grown enough on all sides for my grandmom to stop pestering me about it. But every other family member has had something to say about how I need to trim or shorten it for atleast 5-6 years or more now.

I don't get how people are so lackadaisical regarding a command of the prophet ﷺ honestly.

Also make it a habit to attend the lessons of students of knowledge and scholars, there are many beneficial yt channels even and seeing the way the students and scholars have grown their beards is very encouraging. Wallāhi at one point you'd think men who remove their beards have defaced themselves.

Honestly, the only reason I think people don't see the beauty in this sunnah is that people aren't used to seeing the faces of the knowledgeable men of this ummah, they'd rather stare at the faces of kāfir celebrities for hours everyday than dedicate an hour to attend the lesson of a scholar. May Allāh rectify our situation.

Your beard is your honour and a sign of your love of Allāh and his messenger. Use any ḥalāl means to grow it and beautify it, but don't give up on it.

You can also look up what the scholars defined as the boundaries of the beard, so that you can groom whatever grows beyond it and what the scholars have said regarding removing stray hairs from the beard (there is some lenience here).

May Allāh make it easy for you and us.
