Everyone everyone said is valid. You're options are pretty much:
1) Wax - temporary, kinda expensive. Can do it on your own or get it done at a salon.
2) Bleach - hair is still there but a lighter shade
3) Laser - permenantly removes hair but is expensive.
Research all the options and do what you think is best. At this age though, I'd said wax until you get a bit older.

Try a facial hair bleach. and if that dosen't work, they have facial wax kits that you can buy at a very miminal cost. If all else fails go to a salon...they may charge you a arm and a let, but it will help with your self confidence.
Don't worry about doing the procedures at home...most are fool proof if you fallow the direcctions. Best of luck Sweet Pea!!

 I think the best solution is WAX.
It doesnt usually cost that much at salons or nail places. Look it up in your phone book and get prices!
Good Luck!

 There are also two products available here, and probably available where you live too: Nair and Neet. Both are creams that "melt" or dissolve the hair. They're stinky but cheap just be sure you don't leave them on your face too long because they can give you a mild skin irritation which is actually worse than the hair problem. Leave on 1 min. rinse and if you don't have the desired results, put on again and leave another minute. If your hair is coarse it may take 2 min. to dissolve, but usually 1 min. is sufficient for most facial hair. You will have to reapply this product every 6 weeks or so. But luckily it's fairly inexpensive and the smell doesn't linger once you rinse everything off. Good luck!

It is an investment but the hair follicle is destroyed and will rarely grow back, if it does you can have another session or two. It stings a little, but is the best option. OR if you can't afford it, buy some wax yourself, heat it up (not too hot!) and simply rip it off. I do my chin and upper lip every few weeks, or when I start to see the black hairs coming back. I have had my underarms and pubic area lasered. Go for it!

 there are 2 options that you can take -
1. bleach - its wat alot of ppl do in your situation and there is a bleach that is specially made for facial hair and other sensitive areas. i used it when i was younger and it works really well. its called jolene, and i think you can get it in boots.
2. wax - not yourself though!! there are many salons that provide facial waxing and it keeps hairs away for almost 3 weeks.
hope this helps hun, email me if you wanna know more

 You can have it bleached but I would say use a professional salon rather than attemptinng it on your own.
It will probably be more noticeable to you than anyone else though as are spots etc. Dont worry too much but maybe talk to your mum, is she dark haired too?? x
