Will shaving my beard make it grow proper?

So I'm 16 years old and my little beard is growing around my chin. Right now its soft and really short, some are longer. I want to grow a beard.. Anyway, today my friend told me that I should shave my beard, I was like "I want to grow a beard, and its short, why would I shave it?" and he was like "it makes it grow proper after you shave it for the first time" is this true?
I only have hair on my chin (barely noticable too) and my side burns are growing longer (almost reaching my jaw)
Should I shave it to make it grow better?

No need to worry about what your beard looks like. i started to actually shave the beginning of my junior year. It takes time and slowly you will to the point where I am. (Im 18 and my god I used to shave from once every 6 weeks, to once every 3 weeks and now once a week),

Pro tip btw: Ladies do like facial hair, not that scruffy look but that clean look that makes you look like a man

Yes, it is true. Once you shave for the first time it grows in faster.

@TheFinalHero
if you look like that, please shave
it doesn't make it grow faster though. All it does is allow follicles to mature at the same time.
So when you are ready to grow a beard it'll grow more evenly and not make you look like a creep.

Shaving makes the hair grow back faster, so it would definitely help.
