Is it good for me or bad for me to take biotin. I'm 16. Or does it not matter? Lol.

It's just a vitamin b complex, same stuff you get from foods and stuff, just in a tablet. You'll be fine taking it.
You should probably take a multivitiamin a day too, or a multivit with biotin in it (look for A-Z vitamins) cause unless you have a super healthy diet already making sure your getting your full RDA of all vitamins and minerals will help too =]

Yes its safe as long as your drink at least 4 water bottles a day. I say not 'safe' because if biotin is taken its possible to get bad breakouts but to reverse that affect remember to drink water. (: biotin is amazing my hair growth is so much thicker and shinier. My hair grew an inch a month

It is fine just make sure you don't take to many then what the bottle says and drink lots of water.

It can have some crazy side effects apparently! when I was taking it I had insomnia and nightmares, and I broke out so much.

Our bodies produce biotin naturally. The breakouts @Karla F. mentioned are caused when you pump excess amounts of the vitamin into your body. If you don't have a deficiency for biotin there's no reason to take it.
