What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Hirsutism?

I'm fourteen years old, and I'm very self conscious about my body. It's not that I'm overweight (I'm only 5 pounds above the norm), but I'm SO hairy! I have hair growing on my fingers, toes, hands, arms, neck, stomach, back, feet, moustache, chin, face (cheeks are really bad), and even my nose! I'm Italian and Puerto Rican, so the hair is really dark. I've tried waxing, plucking, bleaching, but it just comes back thicker and darker within a week. I hate dressing in the locker room and getting weird looks. And worst of all, I live in Florida! I can't even wear a bathing suit :/ I could really use help... Is this medical or something? Or what can I do to help it? I'd REALLY appreciate some advice... I've tried everything I can think of... Even laser! I used laser on my lip and chin for MONTHS and it's only become worse. My stomach hair is probably the worst, and most noticeable of all due to it's coarseness. Please help :/ could it be hirsutism?
