I'm my opinion, you are indeed balding. It's in its initial stage. You have a mature hairline and there's a virtually invisible thinning around the crown area. Within two years, you'll cross Norwood 3, if you don't get on any treatment now.
Finasteride is the first line treatment for your condition. If you get on it, you'll be able to maintain this status for at least the next 20 years, provided you positively respond to it. Secondly, it's not as bad as you think. The side effects are virtually non-existent from 1mg Finasteride.
I don't think you need Minoxidil for your current condition. But a dermatologist will be able to provide a better opinion.

It looks like you're close to Norwood 2. I can't say that for sure though, since the pictures do not clearly show the recession.

Umm... You have both the options. It's available without prescription at some places. Self-medication is completely fine, if you know what you're doing.
And yes,

You can't buy it for free. You'll need to pay for it.

I think what he meant was, does he need a prescription or can he buy propecia freely without a prescription xd
Oh! He should have mentioned that clearly, then. The message sounded like the poster wanted it for free. There are a few people who want that. I remember an incident when I was having a conversation with someone online and the person told me that Accutane is available free of cost in Canada, and maybe also on NHS (UK).
Also, this guy here said that it was a stupid question, so I assumed that he wanted Finasteride for free.

Here guys look me at 2012y how bad is recession on my hairline for 6 years?
It looks like a Norwood 1. But interestingly enough, you didn't change much in the past 6 years. You looked too mature for a 15 years old boy. Your recession hasn't been much bad, but I still hold my opinion that you'll reach Norwood 3 in the next two years.

Damn, you stated approaching adulthood so early man. Where are you from? You were really more mature at 13 years of age than what I currently am at 19 years of age.

Bald spots appear in Alopecia Areata. There are anecdotal claims that suggest that natural treatments (like onion juice) work for Alopecia Areata. In any case, it's best to treat hair loss medically.

You still have good/great hair.

There's slight temple recession compared to the 2012 photos.

Good thing is that you caught it early. I'd recommend starting with propecia at least 0.5mg daily to maintain what you have now.

And don't worry - the average guy/girl who's not concerned with hair loss don't even think you have any hair loss.

Genetic susceptibility to Androgenic Alopecia can also be acquired from your maternal genes. Is the genetic father or brother of your mom bald?

You have great hair, that may be your mature hairline and it might stay that way naturally for 1-2 decades
