I'm Only 17 And Lthinning+shedding Hair

[eMPowrd]

Okay this is my 4th month and I have not seen any clear results. I still had people ask me if I'm going bald and I felt so anxious and stressed.

I'm at the age of 18 now, where I should be having fun and enjoying social company and all that but this is dragging me down so much and it makes me uncomfortable. I don't know what I'll do by the time I'm 20...
I also hate taking photos because it shows my baldness. I have the scalp of like a 50 year old. No one is attracted to a balding young person.

Here are some pictures. Even made some upclose to the hairline.

First of all, you are nowhere near having the scalp of a 50-year-old.

Yes, going bald sucks, especially at 18. Started with me, at 16.

At least now, you have options, there were NO options for me. Not even shaving my head.

Stressing about it will just make it worse. Take a deep breath, and make a plan to deal with it.

You have the world of information at your fingertips.

Good luck.

Well the options I can think of is either don't mind it and walk around with a hairy-bald head which will only spread and looks horrible and unattractive for a 18 year old,

OR go and shave it, be bald and again, looking horrible and unattractive for a 18 year old. Who knows what it will look like by the time I am 20.

I feel like the minimum age for considering shaving because it can look good is about 30. It really brings me down and it makes me unconfident.
