Excessive Hair On Upper Lip. Shaved Upper Lip Earlier. Suggestions?

Hello! I hope You see this Message! I dont know what to do anymore... When i Was 13 years old i started to notice hair growth on My upper lip so i Didnt know what to do because i was young and Didnt have anybody that could give me advice, so i Shaved it with a razor. im 19 years old Now and i regret it so much... I wish i could go back and have never done that.. I always try to cover My mouth with My hands even though all of the people looks at me like "ewww, she's a girl and have a mustache." I always try to put make up on or wax it but i can't hide it. I feel so upset and i wish somebody could help me out. I honestly dont feel pretty, i feel gross.
